Ethereum Forward Defence Summit
A working summit on the security of Ethereum - keynotes and closed-door roundtables, happening in an iconic old cricket club right at the doorsteps of Devcon India.
Ethereum moves trillions of dollars in value and is confronted with offensive AI threats at many levels. The Ethereum Forward Defence Summit brings together the people who hold that line: auditors, protocol engineers, security researchers, and the teams building the defensive tooling the ecosystem depends on.
This is a focused, high-signal day. The Summit runs as a series of keynotes paired with closed-door roundtables, where security and engineering leaders engage directly on the questions that matter most for Ethereum's security including:
Security Developer Tooling
OpSec & Human Security
Smart Contract Security & Formal Verification
AI × Security
Wallet & Transaction Security
Protocol & Infrastructure Security
Future Threats
What to expect
Keynotes from leading voices in Ethereum security, setting the agenda for where the ecosystem's defences need to go next.
Roundtables convening auditors, researchers, and protocol teams for candid, working conversations — the kind that shape standards and best practices sharing real learnings and war stories.
A curated room of top leaders and important voices discussing Ethereum security roadmaps and standards.
Who it's for
Security researchers, smart contract auditors, protocol and infrastructure engineers, and DeFi security and product leads working at the frontier of Ethereum's protocols and their defence.
