Decisions policymakers and regulators make in the next two years may set the course for the future of revolutionary technology over the next several decades.

The third annual Decentralized Tech Summit will convene 100 leading academics, industry experts, and policymakers to explore both the evolving landscape of decentralized technologies and the policies shaping their future. With growing alignment between Congress and the Administration on the need for comprehensive blockchain policy—and the potential for significant regulatory developments this session—the 2025 summit will focus on blockchain decentralization, emerging policy frameworks, and the broader ecosystem of decentralized applications. Key topics will include advancements and use cases in artificial intelligence, digital identity, data cooperatives, and decentralized social media, alongside critical discussions on how these innovations intersect with regulation, governance, and societal impact.
