About this Event

We believe privacy is an important topic with far-reaching implications for financial services and cryptocurrency. This two-day virtual conference featured keynotes and panels addressing four major themes: bitcoin privacy, cryptography, financial privacy, and privacy-focused businesses.

Privacy is a core feature valued by many in the crypto ecosystem. Developers who presented at the conference shared their thoughts on some of the most promising privacy solutions. Business leaders conveyed where they see the value of privacy to the consumer and how to use privacy as a feature to distinguish their products. Our goal was to engage both audiences with technical and non-technical talks that highlighted some of the most important issues, advancements, and ideas in the industry.
