What is Blockchain Security?

As decentralized systems reshape finance and technology, securing them has never been more critical.

Our Mission

The Blockchain Security Village is dedicated to advancing the security of decentralized ecosystems. We bring together security researchers, developers, auditors, and enthusiasts to share knowledge, demonstrate vulnerabilities, and develop best practices for securing blockchain technologies.

From smart contract auditing to DeFi exploit analysis, from wallet forensics to cross-chain bridge securityβ€”we explore the entire attack surface of Web3 technologies with hands-on workshops and cutting-edge research presentations.

Whether you're a seasoned blockchain security professional or just beginning your journey into decentralized security, our village provides the perfect environment to learn, network, and contribute to making the blockchain ecosystem safer for everyone.

The Village at Seasides

At Seasides 2026 in Goa, India, our village offers an immersive experience into blockchain security. Join us for talks by industry experts, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities with some of the brightest minds in Web3 security.
