BTC Denver: DeFi on Bitcoin Takes Center Stage
BTC Denver: A Deep Dive into Bitcoin's DeFi Potential
Boosty Labs presents BTC Denver, a one-day event focused on the burgeoning world of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) built on Bitcoin. Taking place on Friday, February 28th, in Denver, Colorado, this exclusive event will bring together over 200 attendees, including 30 speakers, 50 hand-picked hackathon participants, and a curated audience of builders, founders, venture capitalists, and Bitcoin veterans.
The event will take place at a private venue and boasts an impressive list of sponsors including RunesDex, Rootstock, Glittr, and Cash Labs, among others. It aims to bridge the gap between the established ETH Denver conference and the rapidly growing Bitcoin DeFi movement.
Hackathon: Building the Future of BTC-Fi
A key highlight of BTC Denver is a highly competitive hackathon. 50 developers, selected from over 500 applicants, will compete for bounties offered by Glittr, RunesDex, Synternet, and other leading projects. The focus is on developing crucial tools, dashboards, and protocols that advance Bitcoin-based DeFi, from smart contracts to stablecoins.
Bounty details will be revealed on February 27th at noon MST, giving teams nearly 30 hours to build before live judging from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM MST on February 28th. The esteemed judging panel includes:
- Vitalii Yatskiv, COO and Deputy CEO of Boosty Labs
- Periwinkle Doerfler, PhD, Co-Founder/CTO of Glittr Fi
- Nick Fouriezos, CMO of Arch Network
- Alex Horlan, CTO of Hackenproof
Speaker Lineup and Key Themes
In addition to the hackathon, BTC Denver will feature panels, fireside chats, and keynotes focusing on "Scaling Bitcoin." Notable speakers include Farmer Joe, Jan Smejkal (Xverse), Matt Medved (NFT Now), Isabel Duke (Bitcoin Rails), and many more industry leaders (see full list on the event page).
The event will kick off with a keynote address from Viktor Ihnatiuk, Founder of Boosty Labs, emphasizing Bitcoin’s potential within the DeFi space.
