Sun Outlines AI and Quantum Plans at Singapore Conferences

Geneva, Switzerland, October 9, 2026 — TRON DAO, a community-governed DAO working to decentralize the internet via blockchain and dApps, took part in TOKEN2049 Singapore as its Title Sponsor and in Blockworks’ DAS Asia 2026 at Marina Bay Sands. At both events, TRON founder Justin Sun participated in fireside chats, discussing stablecoins, institutional adoption, AI-driven commerce, machine-to-machine payments, and the necessity of quantum-resilient blockchain infrastructure.

Sun appeared alongside Blockworks co-founder Michael Ippolito on the main stage of DAS Asia 2026 on October 7, in a talk called “In Conversation with Justin Sun.” DAS Asia, run by Blockworks, is a conference geared toward institutions that looks at where traditional finance meets digital assets. Their discussion ranged across stablecoin evolution, institutional uptake, agentic AI payments, and how TRON fits into the global digital asset economy.

Tokenized assets and stablecoins serve as practical financial infrastructure, Sun said, especially for cross-border payments and giving access to digital dollars and US-based assets. He also talked about AI agents' emerging role in the economy, forecasting that before long AI agents will handle payments, buy digital services, and manage financial tasks for users.

A day later, on October 8, Sun sat with When Shift Happens founder Kevin Follonier for a fireside chat on the TOKEN2049 main stage. They discussed blockchain's future, stablecoins, AI agents, and global finance's evolution. Sun also spoke about the necessity of making blockchains ready for quantum computers, saying TRON has already achieved notable post-quantum progress, having deployed end-to-end post-quantum signature support on the Nile testnet.

Sun then referred to the mathematics underlying blockchain cryptography and introduced the Justin Sun Prize, which he calls the “Nobel Prize of the AI Era.” The prize is set up as a zero-trust, decentralized academic bounty system centered on a “problem list,” and it rewards advances in fundamental fields that are validated by machine formal verification. Its aim is to speed up fundamental research by enabling human-AI collaboration.

“AI agents using crypto will become the industry’s biggest use case within the next five years,” said Sun. “As AI agents begin to transact, pay and operate autonomously, blockchain will become the financial infrastructure behind them. TRON’s focus is to provide the fast, efficient and accessible settlement layer that can support this next generation of global finance.”

At the conference, TRON DAO also ran a booth where visitors could meet the TRON community and find out about its stablecoin payments, dApps, and AI-based financial infrastructure work. Additionally, off the exhibition floor, TRON DAO held a Creators and Media Networking Happy Hour that brought industry leaders together for snacks and chats.

Over the two conferences, the talks highlighted TRON’s emphasis on constructing blockchain foundations for a fast-changing financial system driven by stablecoins, tokenized assets, AI agents, and more robust digital-asset networks.

About TRON DAO

TRON DAO calls itself a community-governed DAO that aims to speed up internet decentralization using blockchain and dApps.

Launched in September 2017, the TRON network has grown considerably since its MainNet debut in May 2018. At present, TRON carries the biggest circulating supply of the USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin, at over $94 billion. As of October 2026, according to TRONSCAN, the blockchain boasts more than 407 million user accounts, over 15 billion transactions, and above $28 billion in total value locked (TVL). Acknowledged as the global settlement layer for stablecoin transactions and everyday purchases with a track record, TRON is said to be “Moving Trillions, Empowering Billions.”
