The DeFi Security Summit (DSS) 2025, happening November 20-21 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at La Rural, is a global gathering at the intersection of decentralized finance and cybersecurity. It pulls together white-hat hackers, security researchers, protocol developers, auditors, academics, and tool-builders to tackle the hottest, trickiest issues in DeFi: smart contract exploits, cross-chain vulnerabilities, governance risk, formal verification, bug bounties, ZK proofs, opsec, and more. The program combines technical talks, workshops, live labs, and real-world case studies — it’s not just theory but hands-on learning.
Beyond content, DSS is more than an event — it’s a community-strong movement toward safer Web3 infrastructure. With past editions held in Stanford, Paris, and Bangkok, the 2025 edition builds on experience and credibility. Expect deep networking, peer review on proposals and talks, chance to engage with the builders who defend the protocols, and to contribute to the security culture. If you’re building, breaking, or guarding DeFi, DSS is the place to be.
