DWeb Seminar 2025 is a week focused on the state of the decentralized web—what’s working, what’s not, and the technical road ahead. The first three days are an invite-only, research-heavy seminar for advanced builders; the weekend opens to the public for hands-on roundtables, talks, workshops, and demos led by top P2P and decentralized tech teams.

When & where:

  • Dates: August 13–17, 2025
  • Public days: Sat–Sun, Aug 16–17, 10–17
  • Location: Internet Archive, 300 Funston Ave, San Francisco

Format & agenda:

  • Saturday, Aug 16 — Roundtables: Landscape framing, then 3–5 parallel sessions on immediate DWeb challenges; report-backs; closing circle.
  • Sunday, Aug 17 — Demo Day: Rotating blocks of talks, workshops, and live demos from protocol builders; lunch provided both days.

Who’s behind it: Led by Research Director Prof. Christian Tschudin and Associate Research Director Andreas Dzialocha; produced with DWeb organizer Wendy Hanamura; sponsored by the Internet Archive.

ArcBlock participation: ArcBlock leadership is on the speakers list: Mat McKinney (AIGNE) is confirmed. Expect perspectives on decentralized identity, agentic AI, and an AI-native browser approach.

Why it matters: The event tackles core DWeb primitives—immutable data, cryptographic identities, convergent data structures, and offline-first architectures—and turns them into practical designs and demos. If you care about privacy-first apps, local/edge compute, and resilient networks, this is where the hard questions get worked in public.
