Alatau City Authority Presented the Concept of the Digital Economy of the Future at Solana Summit Kazakhstan

During his keynote address, he presented the development concept of Alatau City as a city of the future, where physical and digital infrastructure will be developed simultaneously. Particular attention was given to the creation of a “tokenized economy” – an economic model based on digital assets, infrastructure tokenization, transparent investment mechanisms, and the integration of Web3 technologies.
During the presentation, Arman Tastanbekov emphasized that Alatau City is being developed not as a traditional smart city, but as an AI-native economy. The city is envisioned as an urban ecosystem where artificial intelligence, digital identity, blockchain technologies, and automated services are integrated into governance, infrastructure, and economic processes from the very beginning.
“Alatau City is being considered one of the world’s first urban models where tokenization, AI, Web3, and digital investment infrastructure are embedded directly into the foundational architecture of territorial development,” Arman Tastanbekov stated.
Another key principle of the project will be “tokenization by default” – the integration of infrastructure, assets, and services into a unified digital socio-economic environment designed for a new economic model and global investment accessibility from the outset.
According to the project’s developers, this approach will help create a more transparent and accessible participation framework for international investors, technology companies, and city residents.
As part of the forum, representatives also presented the concept of establishing a regional crypto cluster in Alatau City aimed at bringing together Web3 companies, investors, universities, developers, and technology accelerators. The cluster is expected to serve as a platform for the development of new digital services, investment products, and technological solutions for the real economy.
