Introduction
Blockchain technology has moved beyond its early association with
cryptocurrencies and is now being adopted across finance, public services,
supply chains, education, and digital identity. As the technology matures,
the focus is shifting from experimental pilots to practical, reliable
services that people and organizations can use in everyday settings.
Stablecoins are one of the clearest examples of this shift. By pegging their
value to fiat currencies or other reference assets, stablecoins reduce the
price volatility that has limited the use of crypto assets in payments and
settlements. They are increasingly discussed as tools for cross-border
remittance, digital commerce, and programmable payments, while also raising
important questions about reserve transparency, regulation, and consumer
protection.
At the same time, artificial intelligence is changing how users interact
with blockchain services. AI-based coin wallets can help users manage assets
more easily by providing transaction summaries, detecting suspicious
activity, warning about phishing or risky smart contracts, and offering
simple guidance for complex operations. Such features can lower the entry
barrier for ordinary users, but they also require careful attention to
security, privacy, and the accountability of automated decisions.
In the AI era, the right application of blockchain is not about using
blockchain everywhere, but about using it where it adds clear value.
Blockchain can support trustworthy AI by recording data provenance,
verifying model and content origins, and providing transparent audit trails.
Conversely, AI can make blockchain systems more efficient and user-friendly.
Balancing these strengths with realistic consideration of cost, scalability,
energy use, and regulation is essential.
This special session invites researchers, practitioners, and industry
experts to share reports, case studies, and technical findings on blockchain
applications and key technologies. We welcome both domestic and
international perspectives, and especially encourage contributions that
connect technical innovation with real-world deployment and social
responsibility.
