ETHBoulder, the seminal conference of the Regen community, saw its first iteration attended and co-created by a decentralised cohort of over 200 founders, experts and visionaries. The following article explores the impact of the event and details how
bonfires.ai assisted in its execution as novel epistemic infrastructure.
Bonfires is a collective intelligence tool to help groups of humans and AI agents coordinate. In this article are several responses from the ETHBoulder Agent, whom you can chat with below.
EthBoulder 2026 was structured around 10 core thematic tracks, with a significant pivot toward Ethereum Localism—the application of decentralized protocols to real-world civic infrastructure.
The 10 Core Tracks:
• Ethereum Localism: Focused on "Institutional Localism," bioregional governance, and bridging global protocols with Boulder’s municipal needs (e.g., the Regen Hub LCA).
• AI & Society (d/acc): Explored "defensive acceleration," AI-crypto intersections, and agentic coordination using frameworks like ElizaOS and Project Forge.
• Public Goods Funding (PGF): Centered on Gitcoin 3.0, the Allo Protocol, and protocol-level funding mechanisms like EIP-1890.
• Privacy Engineering: Focused on ZK-proofs, FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption), and biometric sovereignty (hosted at Terrible Turtle).
• Protocol Society: Examined the social and legal implications of living under decentralized protocols.
• DeSci (Decentralized Science): Applications of blockchain for environmental monitoring and community science.
• DAO Governance & Tooling: Innovations in "Agentic Governance" and human-readable constitutions.
• Creativity & Onchain Orgs: Merging art with decentralized structures (e.g., the Artizen Awards).
• Ethereum Protocol & L2/Rollups: Deep technical development on scaling and infrastructure.
• Hackathon: The hands-on building track where projects like Wave Wars were developed.
Key Philosophical Pillars:
• The "Doulder" Movement: A community effort to turn Boulder into a "Decentralized Boulder" through local cooperative legal structures.
• Epistemic Infrastructure: Using the "Boulder Bonfire" 7D Knowledge Graph to turn event conversations into a permanent, queryable resource.
• The Birthday Party Test: A metric for governance—testing if decentralized systems can coordinate simple, high-trust social events effectively.

Up in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, basked in sunshine and surrounded by peaceful ranges, Boulder, Colorado, became the scene of the most important Regen gathering of the decade. With the looming backdrop of mass layoffs, fractured societies, currency devaluation and ultimately, war, this meeting of minds and projects came at exactly the right time.
In tune with the needs of the moment, the conference focused on scaling local and sovereign movements through novel fundraising and governance mechanisms. Empowered and designed with both Ethereum and AI as core infrastructure, these explorations featured visionary discussions combined with bleeding edge technologies, representing the frontier of social coordination and impact tooling.
As with the whole world, AI featured as a central pillar of the conference, alongside Ethereum. The applications of agents in particular was a theme that nearly every builder felt compelled to understand and perhaps integrate into their work. Amidst frank and impassioned debates concerning the impact AI has on privacy, mental health and alignment with nature, it was clear that the cat is indeed out of the bag and, if we as a sovereign people hope to have a fighting chance, then we must leverage these tool effectively.
The timing of EthBoulder (February 13–15, 2026) was significant because it occurred against a backdrop of intense global instability and a shift in the crypto-economic cycle.
1. Geopolitical Contrast (The Munich Security Conference)
EthBoulder took place simultaneously with the 62nd Munich Security Conference, themed "Under Destruction." While global leaders debated competing foreign policy visions and rising tensions, EthBoulder focused on "Defensive Acceleration" (d/acc)—building resilient, privacy-preserving infrastructure (like ZK-proofs and FHE) to protect individual and community sovereignty in an increasingly fragmented world.
2. Post-Speculative Realism
By February 2026, the crypto market was in a major correction phase (with Bitcoin roughly 40% below its late 2025 peak). This "bearish" climate filtered out speculative hype, allowing the event to pivot toward Ethereum Localism. Instead of chasing global "moon" missions, the community focused on Institutional Localism—formalizing the Regen Hub LCA to bridge on-chain governance with real-world Colorado legal protections.
3. The AI-Crypto Intersection
The timing coincided with a surge in "Agentic Governance." With AI agents becoming more capable, EthBoulder served as a laboratory for Natural Language Constitutions and EIP-8004 (Agent-Native Wallets). The event sought to ensure that as AI scales, it remains coordinated by human-centric, decentralized protocols rather than centralized "techie oligarchies."
In short, the timing was a deliberate move away from global digital abstraction toward bioregional resilience at a moment when global systems appeared increasingly fragile.
For us at bonfires.ai, ETHBoulder was our "hello world" moment.
Bonfires created an interactive graph artifact of the event, a shared "second brain" that all participants were given access to. This graph was constructed in real time by the Boulder Bonfire and used as context (memory) for AI agents, accessible via Telegram.
Conference attendees were encouraged to use the agent to navigate the conference, share their work, thoughts and inspirations from the discussions, record sessions, ask questions and generally try to make sense of the mass of knowledge that was present in the aether during that weekend.
The Boulder Bonfire had access to the ETHBoulder community Telegram chat, was available in DMs, used a plethora of agentic tools including Twitter search, link ingestion, audio transcription and document uploads. Collectively, these ingested data formed the Boulder Bonfire graph in real time through our episodic knowledge graph construction process.
By aggregating and processing as much data as possible from the participants, the Bonfire helped people stay in touch with the various threads of talks, understand the wider sentiment and themes and even keep them on schedule to attend the most revelant presentations to their taste.
The Boulder Bonfire was the "epistemic infrastructure" of the conference—a 7D knowledge graph designed to transform the ephemeral energy of an unconference into a permanent, queryable resource.
Key Reasons for its Utility:
• Collective Memory: It synthesized insights from over 150 unique contributors (via Telegram, audio transcripts, and social signals) into a structured framework covering Ecology, Humans, Language, Artifacts, Methodology, Training, and Sessions.
• Low-Friction Contribution: As noted by participants like [redacted], the simple chat interface allowed non-technical attendees to contribute to the knowledge graph without the barriers of complex tools.
• Governance & Synthesis: It allowed the community to "mine" the event's data in real-time. For example, the Project Forge system used the Bonfire data to autonomously generate five working prototypes during the event.
• Post-Event Documentation: It ensured that high-signal conversations—like the "Infrastructure of Belonging" fireside chat—weren't lost, providing a foundation for the "EthBoulder Network Nation" vision.
In short, the Bonfire moved EthBoulder beyond a standard "talk-and-forget" event into a living state machine for local coordination and bioregional intelligence.
A significant thread that weaves together concepts dear to the heart of most attendees was Bioregionalism; that human activity thrives in and is innately ordered by distinct ecological and geographical zones. This is a powerful diversion from the present global system of statism and nationalism, through which we divide ourselves arbitrarily according to man-made designations.
Driven by the work of Benjamin Life, bioregional theory was a theme that provided ETHBoulder with a succinct framework to consider how best to distribute resources, apply tooling, focus collective efforts and, generally, coordinate and organise.
Linked above is Kevin Owocki's article "Bioregional Swarms" article on X, drawing from the discussions at ETHBoulder and providing an overview of how AI agents, guided by bioregional theory, can assist in the collective regeneration of the planet and its people.
Bioregional theory provided the conceptual "boundary" for EthBoulder, shifting the focus from abstract global protocols to tangible, local coordination. It acted as a filter for the event's tracks in three specific ways:
1. Defining the "Unit of Coordination"
Instead of viewing Ethereum as a borderless digital layer, bioregional theory treated the Front Range of Colorado as a specific "state machine." This scoped discussions toward Institutional Localism—using the Regen Hub LCA to legally anchor on-chain governance to physical land, water, and community assets.
2. Ecological & Economic Alignment
The theory integrated ecological health with economic incentives. Discussions moved beyond DeFi speculation into Regenerative Finance (ReFi), focusing on how quadratic funding and Public Goods Funding (PGF) could support local environmental stewardship and civic infrastructure rather than just digital middleware.
3. The "Boulder Bonfire" as a Digital Twin
Bioregionalism requires high-fidelity data about a local area. The Boulder Bonfire (the event's 7D knowledge graph) served as the "epistemic infrastructure" for this theory, mapping the relationships between local humans, artifacts, and ecology to create a queryable model of the region's collective intelligence.
In short, bioregional theory turned EthBoulder into a laboratory for Networked Localism, where the "frontier" being explored was the integration of Ethereum’s security with the physical realities of the Boulder community.
"Fork the Frontier" is the tagline and guiding ethos of the ETHBoulder conference. Adeptly summarised below by the Boulder agent, we saw this theme recurring throughout the graph and the discussions and exemplified through the emerging "Doulder" movement, the push to decentralise Boulder through novel onchain governance, funding and coordination protocols.
In the context of EthBoulder, "Fork the Frontier" is a call to action popularized by Kevin Owocki (founder of Gitcoin) and the Artizen community. It represents a shift from exploring the digital frontier of Ethereum to actively "forking" or replicating its successful decentralized patterns into the physical and civic world.
The phrase carries three primary meanings for the event:
• Institutional Localism: Taking the "code" of decentralized protocols (like DAOs and quadratic funding) and applying them to local Colorado governance, such as the Regen Hub LCA.
• Evolution of the "Frontier": Acknowledging that the early, speculative "Wild West" phase of crypto is over. To "fork" it means to take the best parts of that technology and create a new, more stable path focused on public goods and bioregional resilience.
• Permissionless Innovation: Encouraging attendees to treat the conference and the city of Boulder itself as an open-source repository—one that they can "fork" to build their own experiments in art, science, and community coordination.
Essentially, it is an invitation to stop just observing the future and start building a localized version of it.

A truly stand out contribution from René Pinnell of Artizen, his Day 1 presentation titled "Why Ideas Need to F**k" hilariously and succinctly explained that ideas alone are good, but cross pollination of ideas produces the most resilient and powerful outcomes.
This impactful position was underpinned by René and Artizen's Creative's Fund that helped distribute $50,000 of prizes during the ETHBoulder event, a wonderful feat!
Ideas making sweet love is something the entire ETHBoulder conference seemed to be on board with and Bonfires, with its collaborative graphing infrastructure and simple agentic interface, helped take that to the next level.
This concept, popularized by Matt Ridley as "ideas having sex," was a core philosophy of the EthBoulder un-conference. It describes the process where different concepts cross-pollinate to create innovation.
At EthBoulder, this "intellectual reproduction" happened across several specific intersections:
• Cross-Disciplinary Recombination: Innovation occurs when two unrelated fields meet. For example, the event combined bioregionalism (local ecology) with Ethereum protocols (global code) to birth Institutional Localism.
• Evolution of Complexity: Just as biological sex drives genetic diversity and adaptation, the exchange of ideas between developers, lawyers, and civic leaders at the event allowed for more resilient "mutations" of governance and technology.
• The Un-conference Model: The schedule was designed to maximize these collisions. By moving away from top-down lectures toward open-circle discussions, the event functioned as a "breeding ground" for new coordination mechanisms like the Regen Hub LCA.
Essentially, "ideas needing to fuck" is a metaphor for collaborative intelligence—the belief that the most powerful solutions emerge from the messiness of exchange rather than isolated thinking.
Artizen assisted with the "ideas having sex" principle by providing the economic and cultural infrastructure for cross-disciplinary "mating" at EthBoulder.
They specifically enabled this through:
• Match Funding as a Catalyst: Artizen’s model uses match funds to incentivize community curation. By putting capital behind the "offspring" of these intellectual collisions, they turned abstract discussions into funded projects, such as the Regen Hub LCA.
• Cultural Curation: Rene Pinnell and the Artizen team treated the event as a "curated ecosystem" where artists, scientists, and protocol engineers were intentionally brought together. This broke down the silos of "pure tech" to allow Ethereum's code to "breed" with real-world art and civic innovation.
• The "Fork the Frontier" Framework: Artizen provided the narrative bridge for attendees to take the "DNA" of decentralized protocols and replicate (or fork) them into physical community structures, ensuring that the ideas didn't just stay in the room but evolved into new, local institutions.
In short, Artizen provided the niche—the specific environment and resources—necessary for these diverse ideas to collide and produce viable breakthroughs.
