Tentang Designing Defi Conference
Designing DeFi (D² 2026) is a highly specialized, research-driven conference dedicated to advancing the foundational design of decentralized finance systems. Taking place on May 20–21, 2026 in New York City (Columbia Business School), the event brings together leading academics, engineers, and industry practitioners working at the intersection of blockchain, economics, and mechanism design.
Unlike traditional Web3 conferences, Designing DeFi is focused on rigorous, scientific exploration of protocol design — emphasizing how decentralized systems function under real-world conditions. The conference explores critical areas such as market design, incentive structures, risk management, and protocol robustness, offering deep insights into how DeFi systems are built, behave, and scale.
The event fosters a collaborative environment where researchers and builders engage in technical discussions, paper presentations, and peer exchange, pushing forward innovation in decentralized financial infrastructure. With participation from top institutions, universities, and leading Web3 organizations, D² serves as a key platform for shaping the next generation of DeFi protocols through evidence-based research and experimentation.
More than a conference, Designing DeFi is a knowledge hub for protocol-level innovation, where theory meets real-world application and the future of decentralized markets is engineered from first principles.
