The Ethereum Foundation is advancing the dAI 2026 roadmap: aiming to develop Ethereum into a decentralized settlement core support architecture for AI.

Davide Crapis, head of dAI, the AI team under the Ethereum Foundation, announced that he is working with the Ethereum Foundation management to develop dAI's 2026 development plan. The goal is to build Ethereum into the core supporting architecture for global decentralized settlement and coordination for AI, enabling autonomous agents and bots to transact, prove their work results, and collaborate under open and transparent rules. These rules can be audited and extended by anyone, thereby protecting users' sovereignty over identity, assets, and data.
