DAT DAY
Why we are creating the DAT DAY: A New Chapter in the Digital Assets Movement
Since 2018, we have been immersed in building communities, creating space for innovation, and bringing people together at the intersection of technology, finance, and culture. It started with a simple goal: make crypto more inclusive, more curious, and more connected.
That journey began with the first ever women’s crypto hackathon at NYU, a moment that challenged the norms of who could and should be building in Web3. It was raw, grassroots, and full of energy. Back then, crypto still felt like the wild frontier, and it was clear that if we didn’t intentionally make space for diverse voices, they’d be left out of the conversation entirely.
From there, we went on to launch ZKLab, a series of events and hacker houses centered on zero-knowledge proofs and privacy tech before ZK was the buzzword it is now. We hosted intimate, high conviction gatherings for builders, researchers, and early adopters who believed in the long game. The vibe was always the same: show up, share ideas, write code, and build what matters.
Now, we’re entering a new era.
The walls between TradFi and DeFi are starting to thin. Institutional players are no longer just curious, they are participating. Regulators are paying attention. Infrastructure is maturing. But what’s still missing is a space where these different worlds can actually talk to each other. Not just panels or pitches, but honest conversations and real relationship building.
That’s why we are launching DAT Day (Digital Assets Treasury).
It’s a curated convergence of builders, investors, institutions, artists, and thinkers who believe digital assets are more than just speculative instruments, they're the next layer of the global financial and cultural stack.
DAT is where:
TradFi leaders meet DeFi innovators.
Builders meet backers.
Projects turn into products.
Conversations spark collaborations.
We want DAT to be the kind of event where deals get done, ideas get challenged, and everyone walks away thinking a little bigger than before.
If you’ve ever felt like you exist between the worlds of crypto-native and finance-traditional, startup and scale-up, web2 and web3, you’ll find your people here.
We’ve built hackathons, hacker houses, and zero knowledge labs. Now, it's time for a summit worthy of where this space is headed next.
See you at the DAT DAY!
