London Tech Week 2025 felt like the tech world’s version of Glastonbury, lots of noise, a few legends on stage, and every startup hoping to be the next headliner. The crowd was buzzing about AI. You couldn’t walk five feet without hearing “foundation model,” “compute,” or “open source but also profitable.” And unlike past years, it didn’t feel like Europe was just watching from the sidelines. The mood was electric. Between government pushes for local chip production and companies like Mistral making waves, the message was clear: Europe’s ready to play offense. Smart regulation, powerful grids, and some actual public investment? For once, the old world has momentum.
At MOI, we were tuned in and were amused. Because while everyone was busy comparing GPU counts, we were thinking about something else entirely. Today’s AI agents? They’re impressive. They generate, autocomplete, predict. But they’ve got the memory of a goldfish. You ask, they answer, and then they forget. Every new task is a clean slate. Your productivity bot, your in-game sidekick, your AI assistant, they’re all just stateless scripts pretending to be intelligent. They don’t know who you are, what you like, or what you did yesterday. That’s not intelligence. That’s improv. Ask your AI calendar to “reschedule that lunch from yesterday,” and it stares at you like it’s never met you before. Or try telling your shopping assistant, “Order the same thing I got last time,” and it responds with a blank cart and a blank stare. Every task is a brand new conversation. No memory. No nuance. Just rinse and repeat.
What Even Is Stateful AI?
Let’s break it down. A stateless agent is like a barista who forgets your name every morning at your favorite coffee shop. You show up, order the same thing every time, a large half-caf oat milk latte with one pump of hazelnut and exactly three ice cubes, and still get asked, “What size?” A stateful agent is the barista who sees you coming and starts your drink before you even speak. They remember your name, your order, and the fact that you always hum Taylor Swift songs when you’re in a good mood. That kind of memory, context, and continuity is what turns a useful assistant into something that actually feels intelligent.
Stateful AI means agents that remember. They retain your preferences, adapt to your habits, and build relationships over time. Not in a creepy data-hoarding way, but in the way a good assistant knows what matters to you. Imagine opening your workout app and it already knows you skip leg day, or asking your AI travel planner for a weekend trip and it suggests cities with vegan food and no early flights because it remembers you look for both. Whether it’s a chatbot that picks up where you left off or a game character that evolves with your play style, stateful agents aren’t just smarter. They feel more human. This isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the only way AI becomes something you can trust.
From Stateless to Smart: What MOI Is Building
At MOI, we’re not just shipping another blockchain. We’re rethinking how digital networks are supposed to work in the first place. The internet as it stands is a stateless firehose. You type a message in, it spits a result back out. There’s no memory, no context, no understanding of who you are or what you’re trying to do. Blockchains? Most of them are just fancier pipes. They treat every interaction like it’s the first time you’ve ever shown up. Technology that forgets everything by default is not just frustrating, it’s inefficient. Real interaction needs memory. Trust needs history. And intelligence needs context.
That’s where stateful agents come in. Imagine having an AI that doesn’t just answer questions but actually lives with you across your day. It remembers the restaurant you loved in Madrid and recommends one just like it in Milan. It tracks your budget in the background while helping you plan a vacation. It negotiates with your insurance provider so you don’t have to sit on hold. In a game, it learns your play style and suggests strategies that actually fit how you think. These aren’t bots you chat with once and forget. They’re persistent, evolving teammates that understand your world and help you move through it better.
That’s what MOI is building, a stateful, connective network where agents can learn, adapt, and act on your behalf. A system that remembers who you are, what you care about, and how you prefer things to go. Not because it’s creepy, but because it’s yours.
Here’s how it works:
Participant-Centric State
Every user on MOI has a personal data structure, kind of like a private memory graph. Imagine your digital history, your assets, your preferences, and your patterns, all stored securely and under your control. This isn’t some cloud server or app database. It’s your own persistent context, built into the fabric of the network.
A Smarter Network
In most systems today, apps do all the thinking. At MOI, the network does. We’ve shifted the intelligence out of individual applications and into the shared protocol layer. That means your agent can roam across games, marketplaces, and tools without getting lobotomized between each one. The network carries your memory so you don’t have to repeat yourself.
The Opportunity in Front of Us
Everyone is racing to plug AI into everything, into apps, into games, into workflows. But if those agents don’t have state, all we’re doing is speeding up the same old stateless interactions. It might be faster, but it won’t be better.
At MOI, we believe the real leap forward is not just making AI louder or more capable. It’s making it personal. When an AI agent can follow you across domains, remember your patterns, and help without needing to be told twice, it becomes something more than a tool. It becomes useful.
This is exactly the kind of infrastructure Europe is asking for, systems that are trustworthy, transparent, and human-first. Not surveillance-driven, not walled-garden, not engineered for lock-in. MOI is building the network these agents need to thrive.
So yes, we paid attention to London Tech Week. But while others were talking about GPUs and regulation, we were thinking about memory, context, and intelligence that moves with you. Because in the end, the future won’t belong to the AI with the biggest dataset. It will belong to the one that actually knows you and remembers.
