Tomasz Stanczak I ChaosChain and Agentic Governance With Nethermind I Agentic Ethereum 2025 Summit
Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM
Dive into the cutting-edge world of AI-enabled blockchain governance with Tomasz Stanczak of Nethermind, recorded live at the Agentic Ethereum 2025 Summit. In this talk, Tomasz unveils ChaosChain, a bold experiment in agentic governance where LLMs (large language models), on-chain decision-making, and evolutionary rule-sets converge. Discover how slowing block times for deeper consensus, flexible “Code is Law” interpretations, and AI-driven upgrades could redefine how decentralized networks evolve. Whether you’re a developer, researcher, or simply excited by the future of Ethereum and next-generation DAOs, this session offers a glimpse into how AI, trustless consensus, and community collaboration might shape tomorrow’s most innovative blockchains. Join us to learn how you can participate in ChaosChain research, contribute ideas, and help forge the next frontier in agentic, AI-powered governance.
