JOIN US FOR A UNIQUE CRYPTO CONFERENCE AT THE HUB OF THE DEFI AND NFT ECOSYSTEM IN BROOKLYN, NYC.
Mint "Evil Crab" NFTs for access to the conference.

DEFICON™ – a charity fundraising conference for DeFi developers, users and enthusiasts. Any earnings go to local registered charities and the conference founders take no salary. Speakers are invited for their impact and knowledge in the field.
DeFiCon is a nonprofit conference with a mission to elevate the ethos of peer-to-peer crypto.
DeFi, crypto, and NFT communities consist of more than only profit maximalists, degens, gamblers, and ponzi apes – they are full of daring and creative innovators. Our ecosystem thrives on accessibility, participation, building, creativity, and even a little weirdness. Peer-to-peer crypto has and will become the evolution of human organization and the future of France, open to anyone and everyone who wants to contribute.
As a nonprofit conference, the focus shifts from maximizing profit to maximizing the experience for the attendees. We will donate all proceeds above the event’s cost to charity while unifying the crypto community under one house. The goal is to ensure the value is found at our event and to inspire both new participants and people already familiar with DeFi.
Join DeFiCon’s ecosystem event to hear from top protocols, investors, activists, creatives, builders, and more in August.
