DeFi Live is a newly announced conference seeking to provide a platform for the leaders at the forefront of the decentralised finance (DeFi) industry. Hosted virtually to a global audience on November 10th and in-person in London on November 11th, DeFi Live will showcase some of the industry’s best talent, and will welcome DeFi’s most passionate proponents to the premier crypto event of the 2021 bull run!


Bringing together the most prominent voices and ardent advocates within the cryptosphere, DeFi Live looks set to create a space that is truly conducive to positive and productive discourse around the precepts of decentralised finance. Featuring keynote speakers and panelists on the frontline of the decentralised revolution, DeFi Live is setting out to establish a new benchmark for the quality of thought leadership distribution across the most cutting-edge quarters of the crypto scene.

Notable aspects of the agenda include panel discussions addressing a wide variety of the hottest industry topics, such as:


  • How NFTs and DeFi will build a brighter future
  • How venture firms are investing in DeFi
  • The rise of DAOs NFTs and gaming - the key to achieving mass adoption of DeFi
  • Transitioning to living in the Metaverse


Across these panels, the conference will feature high-profile guests, speakers, and participants, all of whom have made tangible impacts on the awareness and acceptance of decentralised finance. Notable contributors include:


  • Jolyon Layard Horsfal; Co Founder & CEO of TotemFi

For the community


DeFi Live posits that community is at its very core and that the fundamental reason behind the inception of the event was to promote awareness of decentralised finance to both crypto and mainstream audiences. Founder and originator of DeFi Live Harry Horsfall commented on this, stating: “The tenets underpinning this event are to advance the decentralised agenda and to shine a light on the excellent advocacy work so diligently conducted by the industry’s leading proponents. We’re honoured to have them in attendance, and we’re so grateful to all of the guests who will be tuning in to DeFi Live, whether virtually or in-person.”


DeFi Live has brought on board an illustrious roster of community partners, including:


The Bigger Pie; providing support and resources for female founders and employees, raising visibility, attracting talent, and finding the right expertise for teams in the blockchain, crypto asset, and distributed ledger sector

BBAG; a free space where like-minded cryptocurrency and blockchain enthusiasts can share knowledge, information, and connections

Altcoin Buzz; an independent digital media outlet that delivers the latest news and opinions in the world of Cryptocurrencies, Blockchain Technology, Regulations, Adoption and Blockchain Gaming

Graffiti Kings; a bunch of deluded professional Megalomaniacs who have been playing on the golden sprayed streets of broken Britain since the early 70s & in the 80s, and who now educate & help young artists create & sell NFTS via their Graff PUNK$ project. They will be creating a graffiti wall in-person at the conference, creating an NFT out of it, and auctioning it off for charity
