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.
