Blockchain Week Bulgaria takes place on September 23–25 in Sofia, bringing together builders, founders, investors, institutions, and community-led initiatives across a multi-day program.

The week combines a dedicated Ethereum conference and an institutional finance forum in the same city, creating a shared setting where technical teams and financial stakeholders take part in the same program.

Core Program & Topics

Blockchain Week Bulgaria covers a range of areas across blockchain development and adoption. Topics include scalability, security, automation, and production-ready systems, alongside regulation, compliance, and institutional integration.

The program also examines infrastructure moving from prototype to deployment, tokenization and onchain financial systems, and the role of AI within blockchain environments, including decentralized compute and agent-based systems. Other focus areas include CBDCs, settlement infrastructure, cybersecurity, privacy-preserving technologies, digital sovereignty, and AI infrastructure.

Additional focus areas include consumer adoption, digital ownership, creator ecosystems, and community-led models within Web3.

Flagship Events

The week is anchored by two main events:

  • ETHSofia (September 24) — an Ethereum-focused conference bringing together engineers, researchers, protocol architects, founders, and technology leaders working on blockchain infrastructure, distributed computing, and applications.

  • F3: Future Finance Forum (September 25) — an institutional forum focused on tokenized assets, digital finance, regulatory frameworks, and financial system integration, drawing banks, fintech executives, policymakers, and institutional investors from across Europe.
