BenPay is heading to Seoul for Korea Blockchain Week 2026 (KBW 2026). On September 29, we will join HAN RIVER SUNSET as a co-host. This official KBW 2026 side event is organized by Bixin Ventures and will take place by the Han River.
Under the theme “The Next Onchain Economy,” the event will bring together Web3 builders, investors, infrastructure providers, and ecosystem partners to discuss AI, payments, and infrastructure. These areas are closely connected to BenPay’s work: making digital assets more useful and digital services easier to access.
Bringing Digital Assets Into Everyday Use
As crypto infrastructure has developed, users have gained more ways to hold and transfer digital assets, participate in DeFi, and interact with decentralized applications. This progress raises a practical question: how can those capabilities fit more naturally into everyday life?
For stablecoin holders, that may mean using an on-chain balance for everyday spending. For developers working with AI, it may mean accessing different models without the overhead of managing separate accounts, integrations, and balances. Both needs put the focus on how easily people can use the services available to them.
BenPay’s product development is guided by these practical needs. BenPay Card focuses on stablecoin payments, while BenPay AI API provides access to multiple AI model families through a unified entry point. Alongside these products, BenPay is developing on-chain financial services across DeFi and digital assets, with the aim of making digital value easier to access and use.
Why AI, Payments, and Infrastructure Belong in the Same Conversation
These product areas also help explain BenPay’s interest in the theme of HAN RIVER SUNSET. AI applications need model access and supporting infrastructure, while payment services need reliable ways to move and settle value. As stablecoins are explored for more payment use cases, the connections between these services become increasingly relevant.
For BenPay, the discussion starts with the user experience. Developers need a manageable way to work with multiple AI models. Stablecoin holders need practical ways to spend their assets. Behind both experiences are infrastructure choices that affect how well a service works.
HAN RIVER SUNSET offers an opportunity to discuss these shared challenges with teams working across AI, payments, and blockchain infrastructure, and to explore where closer collaboration could be useful.
Connecting With Builders in Seoul
Set by the Han River, HAN RIVER SUNSET will bring participants together for an afternoon of discussion and networking. The event is organized by Bixin Ventures, with Stable as title sponsor and BenPay among the co-hosts.

As a co-host, BenPay looks forward to welcoming fellow builders and ecosystem partners, exchanging perspectives on product development, and discussing how digital assets can serve more everyday needs.
