DavosWeb3 2026: Real Talk on Building Web3 with Conscience
The second DavosWeb3 roundtable unfolded on January 21 at the Financial Times House, quietly carving out space for meaningful dialogue amid the World Economic Forum buzz. No flashy keynotes, just a focused group of builders, investors, and leaders exchanging grounded ideas on how decentralized tech can scale thoughtfully, especially as it intersects with AI.
The day culminated in the launch of the Davos Declaration, a clear-eyed pledge to seven core principles: Collaboration, Equitability, Transparency, Accountability, Inclusion, Decentralization, and Sustainability. Co-organizer Ajeet Khurana recited it, setting the tone for conversations that prioritized substance over speculation.
Speakers brought sharp, practical perspectives that reflected the event’s ethos:
Adeola Adedewe (Kredete) spoke about transforming remittances into credit-building tools for underserved markets, closing massive gaps in emerging economies.
Aly Madhavji (Blockchain Founders Fund) stressed the power of patient, transparent capital to create durable impact across a portfolio of over 200 companies.
Dr. Jonathan Chang (0G Foundation) pushed for modular AI infrastructure treated as a transparent public good, with real accountability baked in.
Kenny Li (Manta Network) shared reflections on evolving beyond oversaturated infrastructure toward targeted, institutional-grade financial tooling after five years of building.
Jeffrey Schwartz (Dentity) highlighted how decentralized identity is already verifying the majority of U.S. notaries for mortgage processes privacy-preserving tech meeting real-world security needs.
Sandy Carter (Unstoppable Domains) opened by noting crypto’s mainstream arrival in Davos and introduced the .web3 domain as a foundation for true digital ownership.
Yat Siu (Animoca Brands) closed with a vision of gamified finance as the quickest path to universal financial literacy, backed by a massive portfolio and upcoming public-market steps.
“Great technology requires a greater conscience,” one of the organizers summed up capturing the day’s blend of ambition and principle.
The gathering reinforced that Web3 is maturing into essential infrastructure: less hype, more execution, more accountability. DavosWeb3 remains a rare spot for these kinds of high-signal exchanges.
