About the sitting
One room.
One question.
The legal frontier of AI agents, DAOs and autonomous systems.
What is an onchain entity, legally — and who answers for the AI agents inside it?
The third Entity Onchain Legal Summit brings founders, lawyers, protocol designers and governance architects together at Devcon VIII. After Buenos Aires and Hong Kong, the conversation continues in Mumbai.
Law as code. Agent personhood. Decentralized justice. Borderless entities, liability and onchain records. One day to work through what these ideas mean in practice, with the people building and questioning them.
This year, India’s own frontier joins the discussion: online dispute resolution, digital public infrastructure, and what national registries can learn from open ones.
Hosted by the Legal & Governance Hub at Devcon
