summary
Conference founded four years ago to close concrete DeFi security gaps, running an annual marketing-free summit that now includes technical workshops, a career fair and curated reviewer-led content and is scaling year over year. Analysis shows most losses come from off‑chain failures — key management >$5B (vs $1B in older counts) — plus DNS, supply‑chain and social hacks, while on‑chain issues still show access control is the top bug, with reentrancy, rounding and price‑manipulation also common. The summit ties builders, auditors and tool vendors to push earlier fixes, artifacts and processes.
