Edinburgh Decentralized Finance Summit

Blockchain Scotland is proud to announce Scotland's first Decentralized Finance Summit. Learn more about Blockchain Scotland here: https://www.blockchainscotland.xyz/ We are an industry association and a community of 1500 blockchain innovators around the UK and beyond. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) represents a revolutionary approach to financial services that curious professionals can't afford to ignore, even if they're still evaluating its relevance. Built on blockchain technology, DeFi eliminates traditional intermediaries through smart contracts—creating transparent, accessible financial systems that are already transforming global finance. Our summit offers a unique opportunity to explore innovative borrowing and lending protocols that operate without banks, groundbreaking payment solutions challenging traditional systems, and the evolving policy landscape shaping this sector. You'll discover how stablecoins provide the price stability that bridges traditional and decentralized systems, and how tokenization is unlocking new possibilities by converting real-world assets into tradable digital tokens. Whether you're a DeFi enthusiast or simply wondering how these innovations might complement Scotland's established financial ecosystem, this groundbreaking event provides the perfect environment to connect with experts, engage in critical policy discussions, and position yourself at the forefront of finance's digital evolution. The DeFi market is currently >$120bn and expected to grow significantly. Topics of interest: * DeFi regulation and policy * Borrow and lending protocols * Tokenization * Stablecoins * The intersection of DeFi and AI (talk by Maciej about this) * The technology and business of decentralized applications * Decentralized governance of DeFi products * Privacy-enhancing blockchains and technologies Keynote speakers include Dr Lisa Cameron and Dr Maciej Zurawski. More details and booking information coming soon! Preliminary schedule: Talks (including coffee and lunch) 9am - 6pm Drinks reception 6pm - 8pm You can also buy an exhibition booth at this event - details coming soon! This event is a side-event to the BlockStart Scotland conference in Glasgow Aug 7th-8th, learn more here: https://www.blockstartscot.xyz/
