5 editions. And this was the biggest one yet. 🇹🇷
#IBW2026 brought together the world's leading institutions, innovators, investors, and builders for two days we won't forget.
To every speaker, sponsor, partner, and member of the Web3 community: thank you for showing up and giving us the memories that make this all worth it. We couldn't have done it without you.
Experience the energy that brought the global blockchain community together in Istanbul 🔥

Robotics 🤖 is now part of the #BlockDownDubai programme alongside Web3 and AI.
Jan 26-27, 2027 🇦🇪
In September, Goldman Sachs moved its 2035 humanoid forecast from 1.4 million units to 6.5 million. The people paid to model this cannot keep up.
Over 95% of the humanoids shipped in the first half of this year were built by Chinese manufacturers.
I have spent the past month inside those factories. None of this is a scenario.
AI is the brain.
Robotics is where it becomes physical.
That is why it sits alongside AI and crypto at #BlockDownDubai, Jan 26 to 27 🇦🇪
BE EARLY! DMs are open: @BlockDownFest

Robots are already shipping, and most are going to one market.
IDC counted close to 25,000 humanoid robots shipped worldwide in the first half of 2026, up 432%. About 78% went to buyers inside China 🇨🇳
Dubai’s target: 200,000 robots by 2032, with robotics at 9% of its GDP 🇦🇪
The demand is written down.
The manufacturers are elsewhere.
The two have barely met.
BlockDown Dubai, Jan 26 to 27, 2027, is where that changes.
Robotics sits alongside Web3 and AI, with manufacturers in the same room as the people who sign the orders.
Want to be in that room early as a sponsor? DM us.

This is why you need to attend crypto events. Especially @IstanbulBlockWk
"It's crypto's iPhone moment."
@mv1_Davis of @MavrykNetwork on the partnership with @Zak_MBG of @multibank_io: integrating Mavryk's RWA tech stack into the exchange.
The parts existed for years. Putting them together is the unlock.

"Now you have an alternative"
@SergeyNazarov of @Chainlink on why banks built marble pillars to look reliable, and what blockchains, smart contracts, and DeFi change.
From BlockDown 4.0 in 2021.
Some conversations age well. The next ones happen in Dubai 🇦🇪 Jan 26 to 27, 2027.

This one aged well.
In 2021, @SergeyNazarov said people would go looking for something reliable, and the answer would be contracts, not a bigger bank.
Five years later, banks are tokenizing deposits and settling payments on-chain themselves.

Just because you can raise doesn't mean you should.
@benlakoff of @BanklessVC on the questions every founder needs to ask before raising.
From the VC panel at #IBW2026 👇
A must-watch breakdown from @vineetbudki of Sigma Capital on the difference between equity and token ownership, and why Web2 founders keep getting it wrong in Web3.
The buy/sell pressure is completely different. Most founders don't realise it until it's too late.

Summer brought a busy few months across DMCC's integrated tech ecosystem.
The DMCC Gaming Centre connected with the industry from Dubai to Shanghai and Cologne, introduced new programmes with @epiphanypk, NEXUS and @ExscapeOfficial, and added a new partnership with the @SGA_Official_.
The DMCC Crypto Centre expanded its global network through @IstanbulBlockWk and partnerships with @Tether, @EAK_Digital and @DWFLabs.
The DMCC AI Centre strengthened connections between Dubai and Europe and grew to more than 200 member companies.
With gaming, crypto and AI companies operating within one wider ecosystem, the summer also brought new possibilities for cross-sector collaboration.
