Permissionless IV

Permissionless IV is set to take place from June 24 to June 26, 2025, at Industry City in Brooklyn, New York. Organized by Blockworks, the event is widely recognized as the largest developer-focused crypto conference in the United States. It serves as a critical gathering point for protocol architects, DeFi pioneers, AI researchers, Bitcoin developers, and Web3 product teams.

This three-day conference offers a highly technical agenda supported by over 100 speakers, hands-on workshops, and a community-driven atmosphere. From token economics to cross-chain AI, Permissionless IV is the destination for serious builders.

Key Highlights and Themes

The 2025 edition of Permissionless will explore six forward-facing tracks that reflect the future of decentralized systems:

• DeFi Renaissance – focused on on-chain real-world assets, decentralized capital markets, and yield innovation

• Consumer Applications – covering mobile-first dApps, creator tools, NFTs, and on-chain gaming

• Token Design – in-depth looks at token mechanics, governance models, and fundraising innovations

• Crypto x AI – exploring intersections between decentralized infrastructure and generative AI tooling

• Bitcoin – diving into scaling solutions, BTC-native applications, and institutional adoption

The agenda includes panels, technical deep dives, product showcases, and interactive sessions designed for builders and researchers alike.
