About this event
Real-world assets are moving from theory to live infrastructure, and the teams building in DeFi know the next phase will be defined by execution, interoperability, and trust. 071 Labs' RWA, DeFi & Infrastructure Summit - Co-Hosted by Plume Network brings together the people shaping that shift in one room in South Korea for a focused, in-person conversation about what it takes to move the space forward. This summit is designed for operators, builders, investors, and ecosystem participants who want more than surface-level discussion. If you care about how RWA, DeFi, and infrastructure connect in practice, this is a place to hear what matters now, compare approaches with serious peers, and leave with a sharper view of where the market is heading. About the Event At its core, this summit sits at the intersection of RWA, decentralized finance, and the infrastructure layer that makes both usable at scale. That means the conversation is not limited to narratives. It is about the actual systems, product decisions, market structures, and technical foundations needed to support the next generation of onchain finance. Co-hosted by Plume Network, the event signals a strong emphasis on the infrastructure behind tokenized assets and financial applications. Expect a setting where the discussion is grounded in real market needs: how assets come onchain, how liquidity forms, how protocols interact, and what infrastructure is required to make these systems credible and durable. The format is built for in-person value. Rather than treating the event as a broadcast, the summit creates space for meaningful exchange between attendees who are actively building, allocating, researching, or exploring partnerships. The strongest outcomes from events like this often come from the conversations between sessions, where strategies get pressure-tested and new collaborations start. What to Expect You should expect a program centered on the themes in the title: RWA, DeFi, and infrastructure. That likely means discussions that connect high-level market direction with implementation questions such as architecture, adoption pathways, risk considerations, and the role of infrastructure in supporting growth. Across the summit, attendees can expect a mix of: Focused summit sessions on current opportunities and bottlenecks in RWA and DeFi Infrastructure-led conversations about the systems required to support tokenized assets and onchain finance In-person networking with founders, developers, operators, investors, and ecosystem participants Cross-sector dialogue that may touch on areas like manufacturing and other real-world industries represented in the event's themes Because the event includes both DeFi and infrastructure in its framing, the conversation should be especially relevant for people thinking about the full stack, not just one layer. That includes how assets are represented onchain, how protocols enable access and utility, and how underlying networks and tooling support reliability, compliance needs, performance, and scale. The presence of manufacturing among the event tags also suggests useful discussion around how real-world sectors connect to blockchain-based financial rails. For attendees interested in asset tokenization beyond purely crypto-native use cases, this adds an important dimension: how blockchain infrastructure can serve practical, industry-linked applications rather than abstract speculation alone. Why Attend If you are trying to understand where the most credible momentum is in crypto right now, this summit offers a concentrated view of one of the most important areas of development. RWA and DeFi are often discussed separately, but the real opportunity is in how they work together through robust infrastructure. Attending helps you see those connections more clearly. This is also a strong room for signal over noise. Instead of broad, generic crypto conversation, the summit is framed around specific themes that matter to builders and decision-makers. That focus makes it easier to have higher-quality conversations, find relevant people, and spend your time with others who are thinking seriously about the same problems. You may attend to: Understand the current landscape of RWA, DeFi, and supporting infrastructure Meet potential collaborators across product, protocol, investment, and ecosystem roles Explore practical use cases tied to real-world industries and onchain finance Compare approaches and assumptions with peers working on adjacent parts of the stack Leave with clearer next steps for building, investing, researching, or partnering For teams working in fast-moving markets, in-person context matters. A summit like this gives you the chance to pick up nuance that rarely comes through online: where conviction is building, what concerns serious participants still have, and which areas are attracting genuine execution rather than just attention. Practical Details The event is in person in South Korea, making it especially valuable for attendees who want direct access to speakers, peers, and potential partners in a live setting. Face-to-face interaction is a major part of the value here, particularly for relationship-building across the RWA, DeFi, and infrastructure ecosystem. It takes place on Thursday, September 5 at 10:30 AM GMT+9. Plan to arrive with enough time to check in, settle in, and make the most of the opening conversations, which are often some of the most useful moments for meeting other attendees before the main program gets underway. A few practical reasons to attend prepared: Bring a clear sense of what you are building, exploring, or looking for Be ready to discuss both strategy and implementation, since the audience is likely to include technical and business stakeholders If you are exploring partnerships, have a concise explanation of your product, thesis, or use case ready Expect the best value to come from both the formal sessions and the informal conversations around them If your work touches tokenized assets, financial protocols, market infrastructure, or the bridge between real-world industries and onchain systems, this summit is well positioned to be a high-value stop on your calendar.
Who should attend
This is for you if you want serious, in-person conversations about how **RWA, DeFi, and infrastructure** connect in the real market, not just in theory. - You are a **founder, operator, or product lead** building in tokenized assets, DeFi, or onchain financial infrastructure and want sharper context on where the space is heading. - You are a **developer, protocol contributor, or infrastructure builder** looking to understand the needs of teams working across the full stack, from asset onboarding to network-level support. - You are an **investor, analyst, or researcher** tracking RWA and DeFi and want better signal from the people actively building and shaping adoption. - You work in or around **real-world industries, including manufacturing**, and are exploring how blockchain-based systems can support asset tokenization, financing, or new operational models. - You are responsible for **partnerships, ecosystem growth, or business development** and want to meet relevant teams in person rather than through scattered online outreach. - You are a **serious ecosystem participant** who values focused events, strong peer conversations, and practical insight you can actually use after the summit.
