Global Staking Forum

​Global Staking Forum – Berlin Blockchain Week 2025

​What is it?
A special event for everyone involved in blockchain staking: validators, blockchains, big investors, stakers, and regulation experts.

How is it different?
No boring long talks or panels! Instead, short 20-minute sessions about the most important staking questions for each group. Everyone gets colored cards (“Agree,” “Disagree,” “I have a question”) to join the discussion and share opinions with speakers.

​Special Feature: Knowledge Area
“Don’t Go to Jail Area” – Experts help you understand how to stake safely and legally in Germany, with practical tips on taxes and rules.

​Who’s behind it?
Organized by leading blockchain teams: w3.labs, w3.hub, Swtax, Staking Facilities, Celestia, Figment, Chorus One, Alluvial, Swyke, Valar (Algorand) and Staking Rewards.
