DeFiConnect 🦫

Thank you, Buenos Aires.
And thank you to everyone who made DeFiConnect what it was.

2 days, 5 summits, 180+ speakers, 4000+ registrations, workshops, meetups, co-work, debates, and a venue full of people who actually care about building DeFi.

Huge appreciation to everyone involved across Stable Summit | @stable_summit, Vault Summit | @vault__summit, Oracle Summit | @OracleSummit, Universal Staking Day, and the Privacy & Compliance Summit. The feedback we heard again and again: having every core piece of DeFi in one place just works. Different tracks, different speeds, but the same community, and it showed.

Thank you to every speaker, partner, and team who helped shape the content.
Thank you to the builders, researchers, founders, auditors, investors, operators, and students who showed up, asked questions, and showed up ready to engage all the way through.
And thank you to everyone who told us this format finally felt “harmonious” - that means a lot.

We’ll share more soon.
For now, here’s the recap ❤️‍🔥

Why is privacy the missing piece for institutional Ethereum adoption?

@ethereumfndn Engineer, Yanis Meziane (@yanis_mezn), introduces the Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) and explains how Ethereum is mapping real institutional privacy requirements to concrete architectures, patterns, and use cases.

What does “price” even mean in DeFi?

Engn33r (@bl4ckb1rd71), Integration Engineer at @yearnfi, explains why “price” isn’t a single value, how fragmented liquidity undermines oracle assumptions, and what recent oracle failures reveal about trust in DeFi systems.

Regulators are trying to rebuild a “paper blockchain” on top of actual blockchains.

At the Privacy & Compliance Summit, Eric Hill (@Rotorless), a privacy and DeFi lawyer, argued that the Travel Rule is now obsolete.

Because token tracing already captures more signals than identity ever did 🧵
