The rapid growth of the crypto industry has been accompanied by a surge in sophisticated cyberattacks. These incidents highlight the urgent need for a robust, international information-sharing framework tailored to the unique challenges of this decentralized and rapidly evolving landscape. By enabling early threat detection, proactive vulnerability mitigation, and coordinated incident response, such a framework can significantly enhance the security posture of the entire ecosystem. This discussion will explore key features and mechanisms for establishing this framework, drawing lessons from traditional finance and other sectors, and will encourage active participation from all stakeholders in shaping its development.
What is BGIN
Blockchain Governance Initiative Network (BGIN) is a non-profit organization that creates neutral forums for in-depth discussions among all stakeholders, documenting a common language to establish shared understanding. It also fosters innovation, best practices, and standards for blockchain governance in operational, regulatory, and technical spheres.
To serve the above purpose, BGIN:
Creates an open, global, and neutral platform for multi-stakeholder dialogues,
Develops a common language and understanding among stakeholders with diverse perspectives through multi-stakeholder dialogues,
Builds academic anchors through continuous provision of trustable documents and codes based on an open source-style approach, and
Establishes best practices and standards that serve blockchain governance.
BGIN has held global Block conferences two or three times a year since its founding in 2020. Block Conferences represent the premier forum for multi-stakeholder discussions provided by BGIN. In addition to Block Conferences, BGIN will organize Layer2 Meetups to exchange ideas with various community hubs across the globe openly. The next Layer2 Meetup will be in Sydney, Australia, on March 10 2025, collocated with Blockchain APAC Policy Week (https://policyweek.com.au/)
While the program is hybrid, we strongly suggest people participate in the program onsite.
・Developers, Regulators, Business entities, Consumers, Academia, anyone interested in blockchain ecosystems!
