Why This Matters
With over $100B locked across 100+ incompatible DeFi protocols, interoperability has become the industry's most pressing infrastructure challenge. This summit will showcase:
- New standards for cross-chain messaging protocols
- Layer-zero network demonstrations
- Regulatory compliance frameworks for multichain activities
- Case studies from leading interoperability projects
Attendees will gain exclusive access to technical documentation for emerging solutions that could unlock trillions in currently siloed liquidity. Developers can participate in our $500,000 grant program for promising interoperability proofs-of-concept. Industry leaders will announce strategic partnerships aimed at creating unified DeFi markets.
