On April 30, 2025, the TOKEN2049 conference in Dubai will host an additional deFINTECH event organized by EVAA Protocol, the leading DeFi protocol in the TON ecosystem. This is stated in a press release shared by the organizers with Incrypted.
The event will be held in partnership with TAC, the Layer 1 TON EVM network extension to support Ethereum applications via the Telegram messenger with access to popular EVM applications directly from the TON wallet, the organizers said.
Among the sponsors is Ston.fi, and the official coverage is provided by media partners BeInCrypto and Incrypted.
According to the event team, deFINTECH will bring together Web3 product developers, fintech leaders, and investors who are rethinking financial services through blockchain. The event will discuss the creation of Telegram-oriented wallets, payment solutions based on stablecoins, and tokenized vaults.
According to the press release, through the EVAA Protocol, deFINTECH will emphasize the platform’s efforts to ensure the availability and efficiency of DeFi. EVAA offers liquidity market solutions and leveraged strategies that are integrated with Telegram and leading TON applications such as Tonkeeper, Notcoin, Ston.fi, FIVA, TG Wallet, and DeDust, providing users with a seamless experience in borrowing, lending, and generating income on TON.
The importance of deFINTECH
According to the event, given the proliferation of the Telegram crypto ecosystem and the role of stablecoins as a means of payment and savings, especially in emerging markets, new opportunities are emerging at the intersection of Web3, embedded finance, and real-world implementation. deFINTECH is a specialized platform for those leading this transformation.
The event is aimed at founders and product managers who develop blockchain-based fintech solutions together with wallet teams, developers of L1/L2 ecosystems, and Web3 banking infrastructure. It also brings together investors, early adopters of social finance and DeFi, institutional players exploring blockchain finance, media, and strategic stakeholders focused on this emerging sector, the organizers said.
The event is expected to be attended by 150-190 highly qualified guests, which will foster an atmosphere focused on valuable connections and meaningful discussions.
The team also emphasized that one of the features of deFINTECH is a departure from traditional conference formats. Instead of stages and panels, the event focuses on meaningful dialog, fosters early collaboration, and encourages product-focused discussions.
The goal is to create an atmosphere of genuine connections and practical solutions for the future of blockchain finance. deFINTECH offers a focused environment for strategic dialog during the TOKEN2049 week.
Participation in the event is by invitation only.
Expectations from deFINTECH
According to the press release, the event format includes roundtables to discuss the future of unbanking and the user experience in DeFi. There will also be opportunities for live demonstrations and product presentations in a relaxed atmosphere, offstage. Attendees will be able to participate in networking.
Venue: DAOS HUB in Dubai
deFINTECH will be held at DAOS HUB Dubai, which is the official partner location. DAOS HUB, located in the heart of Dubai, is a specially created ecosystem that provides a space for collaboration and development of developers, participants and innovators of the Web3 sector. Its mission is to create an environment for Web3 startups to thrive through networking and special access.
The event will last from 2 pm to 6 pm.
“Web3 doesn’t need another conference, it needs a product room. At deFINTECH, we stop presenting dreams and start creating real tools — directly on Telegram, where our users already exist. We believe that payments in stablecoins, Telegram-integrated wallets, and blockchain-based income generation tools can redefine banking by making it open, seamless, and combined. It’s not just a trend, it’s a movement. Our goal is to unite developers and visionaries who are shaping the next financial level,” said Vlad Kamyshov, CEO of EVAA Protocol.
For specialists working on Telegram payment systems, secure vaults for stablecoins, or DeFi applications that meet the requirements of regulators, deFINTECH creates a unique platform for networking, cooperation, and participation in the next wave of financial innovation, the organizers emphasized.
