Manifesto

The 3rd iteration of the TUM Blockchain Conference unites visionaries and thought leaders in a non-profit setting to transform Web3’s potential from promise to action through collaboration and open dialogue. This initiative, organized by the TUM Blockchain Club, is fueled by students’ passion for education, innovation, and community

In a fragmented digital world, where AI undermines identity and information, DeFi, governance, and sustainability innovations struggle to scale, Web3’s convergence with AI and IoT demands new ways to trust, transact, and connect. This conference is our response: a platform to break down barriers and drive progress.

We’re gathering developers, policymakers, academics, industry leaders, and legal experts to advance the Web3 ecosystem across industries and borders. Through insightful panels, talks, hands-on workshops, and use-case showcases across five tracks, this year’s conference underscores why Web3 is not just a technology—it’s a societal imperative.

Tracks

Education

Blockchain 101, Scaling 101, ZK 101, and DeFi 101. These are just some of the talks from our Education Track that help you get started in web3.

Applications

Learn about the untapped potential of blockchain and cryptography in medicine, finance, identity, and more. From private AI-inference to secure voting, this track explores the real-world applications of web3.

Research

Top researchers and experts present the state-of-the-art in Distributed Systems, Cryptography, Security, and Cryptoeconomics and where each field is heading.

Regulation

Hear from legal experts and policy makers what businesses, builders, and users must know when navigating the legal landscape of web3. This track covers everything from compliance to crypto-taxes.

Ecosystem

Explore the blockchain ecosystem from protocols to corporates. Uncover diverse insights, future visions and connect with industry leaders.
