Scaling DeFi is a casual networking event bringing together DeFi builders, investors, and researchers for an informal conversation in New York. Held on the sidelines of ETHConf, the gathering takes place in a back room in Tribeca with around 80 participants. Rather than formal presentations, the event emphasizes the kind of substantive discussion about DeFi infrastructure, funding, and protocol design that typically doesn’t happen on stage. Attendees include teams from major DeFi platforms and infrastructure providers.
