Permissionless IV
June 24-26, 2025 | Brooklyn, New York
Permissionless IV brought together thousands of builders, investors, and protocol teams for one of the largest crypto and DeFi conferences in North America. The event featured discussions on infrastructure scaling, DeFi innovation, and the future of decentralized systems.
Randamu at Permissionless
Represented Randamu and dcipher.network, engaging with the DeFi and infrastructure community on:
- Threshold cryptography — How distributed key generation enables secure, decentralized infrastructure without single points of failure
- Bridgeless interoperability — Solving the $2B+ bridge exploit problem with cryptographic approaches rather than traditional bridge architectures
- MEV resistance — Using time-lock encryption to prevent value extraction and front-running
- Decentralized randomness — The League of Entropy and drand protocol for verifiable randomness in gaming, governance, and DeFi
Conference Themes
Permissionless IV focused on the maturing crypto infrastructure landscape:
- Layer 2 scaling solutions and rollup economics
- DeFi protocol design and composability
- Cross-chain messaging and interoperability
- Regulatory developments and institutional adoption
