Description

​We bring experts together to tackle the real challenges and practical realities of onchain finance.

​Edition Three: Zero Trust
​As financial institutions adopt wallets, tokenized assets, and onchain settlement, the security frontier is shifting toward systems that assume no implicit trust, not in devices, networks, dependencies, or people.

​This 30-minute live panel brings together leading voices in cryptography, custody, and security engineering. Attendees will hear from teams applying Zero Trust in production today, from multi-party computation to hardware-rooted authentication, continuous verification, real-time policy enforcement, end-to-end data integrity, and other techniques designed to remove single points of failure. The conversation will explore how these models are shaping institutional adoption, which practices are gaining traction, and where the biggest risks still remain.

​Speakers will also look ahead to the next 24 months: post-quantum transition planning, secure enclave evolution, KMS advancements, authentication standards, and how Zero Trust will define the next generation of digital asset operations.
