Switching Rails: TradFi On-Chain - For Developers
Toronto DAO presents a new format in a new space - daytime, skyline views, and a deliberately smaller guest list designed for deeper conversation. We’ll dig into three pillars: (1) DeFi systems and risk, (2) blockchain/security best practices, and (3) practical LLM use across dev tooling, agents, and data pipelines. Expect short, dense talks, live demos from Toronto-built projects, and open Q&A that favors real problems over platitudes.
This is a curated event: founders, engineers, security researchers, data/AI practitioners, and serious operators. If you’re shipping, auditing, or scaling infra, you’ll be in good company.
We will have several presenters who will tell us about their projects and we will open the floor for discussion and Q&A afterwards. Among them:
Lisan from Sacred Protocol
Taylor - Loyalteez
Loyalteez is the compliance-first, open-loop loyalty platform that helps brands cut CAC and lift LTV. Launching on Soneium mainnet this October.

Poroburu - court.fun
Court.fun enables Dispute Resolution Organizations on Solana, where jurors stake blue-chip tokens to provide economic justice to arbitrate disputes using game theory. State.fun leverages these DROs to give Network States’ digital sovereignty through appointing court hierarchies and developing arbitration partnerships.
Lisan - SACRED PROTOCOL

Zentra is the first decentralized World Computer with Upgradable CPU, Unlimited Gas powered by Minus Theory, native Python.
Antoine - Ordinals
Bitcoin Ordinals are a way to uniquely number and track individual satoshis (the smallest units of bitcoin) by their order of creation. This enables users to “inscribe” data (like images or text) onto specific sats—creating NFT-like assets on Bitcoin without changing its core protocol.
Samir - Toronto Special Economic Zone
We’re asking Ontario and Toronto to create a physical “Toronto Special Economic Zone” with lower taxes, faster approvals, and real support so people can build here, keep good jobs here, and grow a net-zero district we’re proud of.
Btw please sign our petition and support the cause of the Toronto Special Economic Zone: https://www.change.org/TorontoSEZ
