IPFi Summit
Join us for the world's first IPFi Summit, where we dive into the burgeoning intersection of DeFi and IP. This four-hour session is designed to bring together the brightest minds and key players building IPFi applications and those looking to partner within this dynamic ecosystem. We'll host a few discussions and of course allow plenty of time to connect with each other directly over lunch.
Presented by our IPFi Summit co-sponsors Aura Network, Tophash, Ondo Finance, and Unleash Protocol.
Date: September 4th
Time: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Venue: Story House
The IPFi Summit aims to highlight what sets IPFi apart from traditional DeFi and draw parallels between RWA infrastructures and IPFi designs. This is a unique opportunity to explore new horizons in financial access and IP asset management through Web3.
Schedule
10:00 AM - 10:30 AM: Welcome Receptio
10:30 AM - 10:45 AM: Keynote by Bu Fan, IPFi Lead, Story: An Introduction to IPFi on Story
10:45 AM - 11:15 AM: Panel: Democratizing Financial Access to IP Assets via Web3
Speakers: Danny Kim - Tophash, Alex Le - Founder, PIPERX
Moderator: Norbert - Global Growth Manger, Nubit
The first panel should ideally aim to overexplain things. The goal is to ensure everyone in the audience understands what IPFi is, how it relates to DeFi, and what the concrete use cases are. The central claim is that by opening up this asset class and onboarding it to Web3, we’re democratizing it. We’ll come back to this point in the last panel.
11:15 AM - 11:45 PM: Fireside chat: The Future Landscape of RWA
Speakers: Rania Rahardja - Director of Sales APAC, Ondo; Luke LaBonte - Solutions Lead, LayerZero
Moderator: Yeou Jie - Chromia
This second panel takes the overarching narrative to a more concrete, technical level. Since we’ve established a somewhat shared vocabulary in the first panel, we can now dive into the details. This panel will be the main point of interest for the tech-savvy, Defi-experienced part of the audience.
11:45 PM - 12:15 PM: Panel: Selling/Launching Customized IP Licenses and Fractionalizing Them
Speakers: Rick - Head of Product at Unleash, Long Nguyen - Cofounder, Aura Network
Moderated by : Graham Robinson, Yakoa
The last panel serves as an application-layer example for the technical terms in the second panel. Here, we can discuss specific projects and their methods of decentralizing asset classes. The topic of fractionalization can tie the narrative back to the overarching topic from the beginning: Democratizing access to asset classes.
12:15 PM - 12:45 PM
Fireside chat: Stani Kulechov x IP Morgan
