Consensus Miami 2026 Recap: A Week of Building with 0G
Five hosted events, five speaking slots, and two community activations across one week in Miami. Here's how 0G showed up at Consensus 2026.
Over six days in Miami, 0G hosted five flagship side events, put speakers on five panels and keynote stages, and ran two community activations on the margins of Consensus week. Every moment was anchored to one message: 0G is the blockchain for AI agents and onchain liquidity.
The week at a glance
The team treated Consensus Miami as a working room. Michael Heinrich (CEO), Jake Salerno (VP GTM), and George V. (Strategic Partnerships Lead) split the speaking lineup across six days. Rukshana Hassanali (Events Lead) and the wider crew ran the side events, with Arne Hartmann (CFO) on the ground supporting Michael across institutional meetings.
Hosted events sat side by side with earned speaking slots, plus a couple of community activations on the margins. The hero stat:
- 5 hosted or co-hosted events with LaGrange, QuickNode, MetaMask, and the 0G team
- 5 speaking slots across the Capital Summit, the Agentic Tooling Summit keynote, InnovateMiami, Miami Heat, Marketers in the Arena, and Agentic Day Miami
- 2 community activations that closed the week: the Quantum Qafe Coffee Meetup and the Crypto Polo Cup
May 4 - Visibility and narrative building
The week opened with three moments that set the tone.
Marketers in the Arena
📍 Miami Beach | May 4, 11 AM-6 PM ET | Luma
Jake joined a curated B2B panel at Marketers in the Arena, the Stellar Development Foundation and Myosin gathering that runs during Consensus week. It is a working room for founders, heads of marketing, and ecosystem leads working on how crypto communicates with broader, more institutional audiences. Jake's panel was one of several across the day. The takeaway he brought to the room: AI agents are about to reset what "growth" means in crypto, and the marketing playbooks need to catch up.
House of AI, hosted by 0G and LaGrange
📍 Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay | May 4, 3-7 PM | Luma
In the afternoon, House of AI brought together builders, founders, and AI infrastructure operators for a working session co-hosted with LaGrange. The day's most pointed moments came from inside the room:
- George V. ran a panel called "Your agent just wired $10M to the wrong address. Now what?" The question is no longer hypothetical for the people building autonomous agents on production rails. The conversation was about hard constraints: verification, recovery, and liability.
- Jake S. took the Hot Seat with "ChatGPT knows more about you than your therapist. Who owns that?" A direct line into the data ownership and Agentic ID conversation that 0G has been pulling from the technical layer into mainstream framing.
Agentic Day Miami
📍 Miami | May 4, 11 AM-7 PM | Luma
The same day, George V. spoke at Agentic Day Miami, an earned slot in the broader AI infrastructure economy conversation. The framing: decentralized AI is not a future story. The throughput, the data availability, and the compute economics already exist. The question for the rest of the industry is whether the next wave of agentic applications gets built on rented centralized compute or on infrastructure that the agents themselves can verify.
May 5 - Institutional depth, on the floor and in the room
May 5 was the institutional day. Michael landed in Miami, joined Arne Hartmann, and the team moved between the main conference floor and a string of higher-context conversations.
The Capital Summit
📍 Miami | May 5, 9 AM-5 PM | Luma
Michael spoke on the Capital Summit's On-Chain Capital Markets edition. His talk, "Building the Bridge Between Blockchain Money and Global Payments", walked through where stablecoins, programmable money, and onchain settlement meet institutional appetite.
Consensus Miami main conference
📍 Miami Convention Center | May 5-7
The team kept a floor presence across the main conference, with Michael taking interviews and 0G-side conversations in the hallways.
Miami Heat: Cocktails and Connections, hosted by FP Block
📍 Miami | May 5, 3 PM | Luma
Jake joined a networking-focused speaking slot at FP Block's Miami Heat: Cocktails and Connections. FP Block runs a tight schedule of high-context conversations during Consensus week, and Jake fit in a panel-style segment on what builder relationships actually look like at the AI-agent x onchain liquidity intersection.
Meditate and Sound Bath with 0G
📍 Miami | May 5, 10:15-11:45 AM | Luma
The wellness activation. 0G has been running these at every major conference week: a guided sound bath and meditation block for the people who need the reset before a long day. Conference weeks are noisy, the Sound Bath is one place where the noise stops.
The Private Table
📍 Jaya at the Setai | May 5, 7 PM | Luma
The day closed with The Private Table, an intimate 0G-hosted dinner at the Setai for founders, investors, and partners. No panels, no programming, just the conversations that get harder to have once a conference scales past a certain size.
May 6 - The Trillion-Dollar Agentic Economy
If Consensus Miami had a 0G narrative apex, it was May 6.
InnovateMiami, hosted by TheTie
📍 Miami | May 6, 9 AM-4:30 PM | Luma
Michael opened the day on TheTie's InnovateMiami stage, sitting on a panel titled "What Opportunities in Crypto Are Institutional Capital Willing to Stand Behind?" The conversation pulled together institutional allocators and protocol founders on the same panel. Michael's argument: agentic infrastructure is one of the few crypto verticals where the institutional thesis and the builder thesis are converging in real time.
Agentic Tooling Summit, co-hosted with QuickNode
📍 Miami | May 6, 11 AM-7 PM | Luma | QuickNode recap
Michael's headline keynote of the week: "Welcome to the Trillion-Dollar Agentic Economy." Co-hosted with QuickNode, the Agentic Tooling Summit pulled together the infrastructure side of the agentic conversation. The keynote framed agentic AI as a trillion-dollar market that needs verifiable compute, sovereign agent identity (Agentic ID, ERC-7857), and onchain coordination rails before it can scale past demo apps.
The room left with a clearer picture of what "agentic economy" actually requires under the hood. QuickNode's recap captured the broader summit, including the partner sessions that ran alongside the keynote.
Builder Nights Multichain Fest, hosted by MetaMask
📍 Miami | May 6, 5-10 PM | Luma
The day closed with the MetaMask-hosted Builder Nights Multichain Fest, a festival-format multichain night with 0G co-hosting alongside a broad multichain lineup. Jake brought 0G to the panel block with "The Agentic Multi-Chain Economy: AI Agents, Wallet Infrastructure, and the Next Internet." The pitch: agentic applications will be multichain by default, and the chain layer has to keep up with the throughput and verification needs of autonomous workloads.
May 7 - Community and team
The schedule eased on May 7 and turned toward relationships.
Quantum Qafe and team dinner
📍 Miami | May 7, 9-11 AM | Luma
A coffee meetup at Quantum Qafe pulled together ecosystem partners and early-stage builders for an informal morning. Later that night, the team closed the Miami week with an internal dinner at Gianni's Versace Mansion.
May 9 - Crypto Polo Cup
📍 Miami | May 9 | Luma
Two days after the main conference closed, members of the team showed up to the Crypto Polo Cup. Not a 0G activation, but a tradition that extended several of the week's relationships into a slower Saturday.

Frequently asked questions
What was 0G's presence at Consensus Miami 2026?
0G ran five hosted or co-hosted events (House of AI with LaGrange, Sound Bath, The Private Table, Agentic Tooling Summit with QuickNode, and Builder Nights Multichain Fest with MetaMask), took five earned speaking slots across major Miami stages, and added two community activations on the margins.
What was the Trillion-Dollar Agentic Economy keynote about?
Michael Heinrich's keynote at the Agentic Tooling Summit framed agentic AI as a trillion-dollar economic shift that requires verifiable compute, Agentic ID (ERC-7857) for sovereign agent identity, and onchain coordination rails. The point: the infrastructure has to exist before the economy can scale.
What is 0G?
0G is the blockchain for AI agents and onchain liquidity. It combines storage, compute, data availability, and chain in one stack where every agent action can be verified onchain. The Aristotle mainnet has been live since September 2025.
Where can I get 0G?
get.0g.ai is the interactive guide on how and where to acquire 0G tokens, with options for developers, investors, and ecosystem participants.
