AT is entering a critical phase of maturation and becoming truly multi-stakeholder infrastructure. This talk covers the concrete steps both Bluesky and the AT ecosystem are taking to achieve "hard decentralization": forming an IETF working group to standardize the protocol, establishing independent governance for PLC, and implementing the technical foundations that make decentralization real - more and larger PDSes, seamless account portability, full network sync, and more.

Groundings with my Siblings: Lessons Learned Building for Community
10:00 AM - 10:30 AM
I had the privilege of discussing Blacksky and AT Protocol at several different college campuses, conference venues and other settings along with webinars and doing user research. I plan to share those learnings to help others build better products and how we particularly plan to incorporate those learnings from both a product and operations standpoint.

Who owns the group chat? Building collaborative spaces on ATProto
10:30 AM - 11:00 AM
Traditional social platforms centralize control of community spaces—the platform owns your group, your members, and your data. On ATProto, ownership, governance, and moderation become explicit design decisions. This talk explores building shared resources on a decentralized protocol—from data synchronization to governance models—drawing from real experience building community features and examples from other ATProto apps.
