Speaker Reveal: Permanent Evidence in a Mutable World

Our agenda is live, which means it’s time to reveal the speakers who will be dropping the real-world alpha this year.

In a world of generative AI and mutable data, how do you prove your tech specs, design files, or code existed in a specific form at a specific time?

Our opening session by Sasha Pitkevich (Blockchain Lead at EPAM), solves this under the hood.

What we'll cover (Zero Fluff):
▪️ Neutral Proof Layer: Using public blockchain networks for source, integrity, and existence without pushing sensitive data on-chain.
▪️ Low-Hype Anchoring: Hashing specs, documentation, and assets to easily check them later during audits or disputes.
▪️ Hard-to-Fake Records: Building a standard verification layer for modern engineering teams, not just massive enterprises.

Next Up on the Agenda: RWAfication in DeFi

Our agenda is live, which means it’s time to reveal the speakers who will be dropping the real-world alpha this year.

Pure on-chain yield is no longer self-sufficient. In 2026, the real game is shifting toward classical financial tools, delta-neutral bridges, and indexing everything.

Our next session by Artem Bessonov (Researcher at moni.ai & Founder of “Future Of France”), breaks down this massive structural shift.

The Core Focus:
▪️ The Yield Pivot: Why projects are switching from pure on-chain loops to tokenized TradFi tools (T-bills, private credit, equities, and tokenized funds).
▪️ Perp DEXs as Universal Infra: How platforms like Hyperliquid are moving beyond crypto to become the Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) for everything that can be indexed (equities, prediction markets, FX, commodities).
▪️ TradFi-DeFi Bridge: A deep dive into Saylor’s Pyramid, the DAT Economy, and delta-neutral strategies holding the ecosystem together.

Next Up on the Agenda: Compliance as Infrastructure

Launching crypto and payment products globally is no longer just a legal challenge – it’s a core architectural one. If you design your system architecture before understanding your regulatory constraints, a painful and costly rebuild is almost guaranteed.

Our next session at Blockchain Community Day 2026 is presented by Kateryna Volivach (General Counsel at Smart Glocal Limited). She will share her experience structuring fintech and crypto operations across 25+ markets to prove that compliance isn't a barrier to scale – it’s the infrastructure that enables it.

The Focus:
▪️ Product vs. Framework: Real-world trade-offs between compliance readiness and speed-to-market using examples from payment licensing, IDO structuring, and cross-border brokerage.
▪️ 1 Product, 3 Architectures: An inside look at launching the same payment product across the UK, Canada, and Kazakhstan simultaneously, and how data residency and AML frameworks forced three different infrastructure setups.
▪️ Engineering the Sequence: How flipping the standard approach – mapping regulations before system architecture decisions –saved months of development work.

Next Up on the Agenda: AI-Native Security 🛡️

AI is shifting the smart-contract threat landscape: attacks are becoming more frequent and increasingly novel as adversaries adopt AI-powered tools. Standard static analyzers and manual audits are no longer enough to protect decentralized apps – true Web3 security requires new, production-grade standards.

We are excited to introduce our next speaker: Alexandra Gulamova (Co-founder at SavantChat).

In her session, “AI-Native Security: New Standards for Secure Smart Contract Development”, Alexandra skips the marketing buzzwords to break down how to secure Web3 code against advanced, automated exploits.

Inside the Session:
🔹 The Asymmetry of Conflict: Why attacker tools tend to be highly personalized, while defender tools must aim for broader, systemic coverage.
🔹 Surfacing the Invisible: How specialized AI tooling identifies complex vulnerability classes that traditional methods consistently miss.
🔹 The 2026 Security Pipeline: Building a concrete hybrid system: automated AI checks in CI/CD ➡️ AI-assisted pre-audit prep ➡️ Human review as the critical final layer.
🔹 The Wrapper Trap: Common and costly mistakes engineering teams make when relying on low-quality "AI wrappers."

No fluff. Just a practical architectural blueprint for architects, CTOs, and Web3 developers.

🎙️ Blockchain Community Day 2026 | Speaker Reveal

Most token projects make a fatal mistake: they model asset price fluctuation instead of the actual systemic economy. The moment a Web3 startup introduces more than one token – combining utility, stablecoins, RWAs, or governance – it becomes a complex, multi-sided business. Standard spreadsheets break, and standard whitepaper logic fails under market pressure.

We are excited to introduce our next speaker: Andrii Vyazovskyi, Business Consulting Manager at EPAM Systems.

In his session, “The Three Eras of Tokenomics Modelling: From Code to Canvas to Conversation”, Andrew will walk us through why multi-token projects require rigorous financial engineering (break-even per token, revenue streams, actor costs) and how tokenomics design is shifting from high-maintenance code to autonomous, LLM-native conversation engines.

He will present the 6-layer framework used to build and stress-test EPAM's block-based Economy Modelling Platform – featuring a production case study of a live dual-token ecosystem (gold-backed asset + stablecoin).
