DeFi Security Summit (DSS), a unique event free of marketing, focuses on technological advancements and education in protecting decentralized applications built on top of blockchain technology. The event brings together hackers, protocol developers, and tool suppliers interested in technologies and fields to make off-chain and on-chain components of blockchain applications safer. Security conferences like CCC and Defcon, which bring together security vendors and users and concentrate on security researchers, served as the model for the summit.
