Curve Finance Takes Over Belgrade with Ecosystem Day During Blockchain Week
Curve Finance brought DeFi builders together in Belgrade for a day of deep dives, cross-chain conversations, and ecosystem breakthroughs—featuring founder Michael Egorov and a standout lineup of speakers.
On June 4, 2025, Curve Finance hosted its first-ever BEL-CRV Ecosystem Day in Belgrade, Serbia — right in the middle of Belgrade Blockchain Week and alongside ETH Belgrade. While others talked about the future of DeFi, Curve brought it to life.
The day-long event pulled in developers, researchers, and DeFi power users for live discussions around everything that matters in 2025: cross-chain infrastructure, yield-bearing stablecoins, decentralized governance, UX, and the liquidity layer of the internet.
Why This Event Mattered
This wasn’t a branded side-event or a casual meetup - it was a focused, builder-first gathering for the people actually shipping in DeFi. Curve Founder Michael Egorov headlined the event, sharing insights on Yield Basis - a decentralized protocol aiming to provide sustainable yield for holders of tokenized Bitcoin and Ether by using spot leverage within the protocol to mitigate impermanent loss in AMMs.
Panels and talks featured contributors from Aragon, Liquity, Status, Tenderly, DeFi Saver, and others, diving into real-world problems like governance models, veTokenomics, L2 liquidity routing, and simplifying DeFi for everyday users.
A Builder-First Format, Packed with Alpha
Attendees cycled through panels, keynotes, and networking sessions, with up to 50 attendees per session and over 150 unique visitors throughout a full day of non-stop conversation. The format was clear: open dialogue, no fluff, no marketing pitches - just builders talking to builders.
"BEL-CRV was about connecting the dots between different layers of the DeFi stack - governance, UX, stablecoins, and liquidity infrastructure," said a Curve team member. “It’s the kind of event that keeps DeFi grounded in real innovation.”
