5 editions. And this was the biggest one yet. 🇹🇷 #IBW2026 brought together the world's leading institutions, innovators, investors, and builders for two days we won't forget. To every speaker, sponsor, partner, and member of the Web3 community: thank you for showing up and giving us the memories that make this all worth it. We couldn't have done it without you. Experience the energy that brought the global blockchain community together in Istanbul 🔥

Good projects still get buried without the right communications behind them. @EAK_Digital joins The Best Event: AFTERDARK Singapore as our Signature Partner.

Summer brought a busy few months across DMCC's integrated tech ecosystem. The DMCC Gaming Centre connected with the industry from Dubai to Shanghai and Cologne, introduced new programmes with @epiphanypk, NEXUS and @ExscapeOfficial, and added a new partnership with the @SGA_Official_. The DMCC Crypto Centre expanded its global network through @IstanbulBlockWk and partnerships with @Tether, @EAK_Digital and @DWFLabs. The DMCC AI Centre strengthened connections between Dubai and Europe and grew to more than 200 member companies. With gaming, crypto and AI companies operating within one wider ecosystem, the summer also brought new possibilities for cross-sector collaboration.

Great conversation at @IstanbulBlockWk on the agent economy's trust problem: what has to be true before anyone hands AI agents the keys? Thanks to @aytuncelebi for moderating, and to @5herv1n & Nurettin Erginöz (@PwC) for sharp takes.

This is why we chose Dubai. Web3 here isn't a concept. It's already running across payments, banking, law enforcement, transport and real estate. And we're building BlockDown's biggest chapter yet right in the middle of it, in partnership with @DMCCAuthority, the same institution driving Web3 adoption across the UAE. 📅 January 26-27, 2027 📍 Uptown Dubai #BlockDownDubai

Belal Jassoma (@Bjassoma) from @DMCCAuthority on why the UAE is the clearest proof that Web3 has moved from pilot to production. The infrastructure is already there.
