After the successful DefaiCon in Dubai, the leading crypto marketing, PR, and event agency EAK Digital announces the next stop in its global event series: DefaiCon Istanbul, hosted by Hey Anon and WAGMI CEO Daniele Sesta.
DefaiCon Istanbul will be held on June 26, 2025, at the Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel and Conference Center as part of Istanbul Blockchain Week, exploring the convergence of DeFi and autonomous AI agents - the core pillar of the emerging agent economy - where intelligent agent networks and next-generation DeFi protocols are reshaping finance, trading, governance, and on-chain decision-making.
As programmable finance, autonomous capital deployment, and smart coordination redefine the Web3 landscape, DefaiCon Istanbul will be the ultimate stage for founders, developers, and investors building at the forefront of decentralized finance and AI.
Erhan Korhaliller, founder of Istanbul Blockchain Week and EAK Digital, stated: "As we move beyond our Dubai debut, this DefaiCon will explore the rise of the agent economy, the formation of autonomous agent collectives, and the increasingly important role of AI agents in shaping on-chain innovation. Turkey has established its place in global trading volumes, and Istanbul is the ideal venue to host these critical dialogues that can inspire the next wave of builders, thinkers, and investors."
DefaiCon Istanbul offers a front-row view of the future for DeFi developers, traders, AI researchers, Web3 founders, and investors. The event includes panel discussions with DeFi leaders, keynote speeches by agent economy pioneers, live demonstrations, builder workshops, and exclusive networking with the thinkers shaping decentralized intelligence.
During its Dubai debut, DefaiCon attracted over 3,000 attendees and quickly became the platform of choice for breakthrough announcements and product launches in the DeFi space. Highlights included talks from leading projects like Virtuals Protocol, ElizaOS, Vader AI, and Cookie3. Major announcements included Moxie's autonomous trading agent Senpi, Oasis's trustless AI agent WT3, and innovative demonstrations like Brevis ZK coprocessor and DappRadar's HiveMind, further solidifying DefaiCon's position as a breakthrough point for DeFi and AI agents.
This return reflects the surging interest and investment in AI-driven finance and autonomous agents within the blockchain ecosystem.
DefaiCon Istanbul is only open to Istanbul Blockchain Week ticket holders.
