What Was Bcrypt Conference 2024?
Bcrypt Conference 2024 was India's largest Web3, AI, and blockchain conference, held on 17–18 October 2024 at The Leela Ambience Convention Hotel, New Delhi. Organized by CSharpCorner under CEO Mahesh Chand, it earned the distinction of being the world's first medieval-themed blockchain conference. Details sat on the official Bcrypt website. With over 3 million developers in the CSharpCorner community, the event combined serious technical content with a uniquely immersive cultural experience.
The two-day format included a Web3 Day, an AI Day, an awards gala, and a prop after party. To follow similar shows, check CoinGabbar's blockchain events hub and the crypto events calendar.
Key Themes and Event Highlights
The agenda spanned blockchain fundamentals, generative AI, AR/VR, NFTs, DeFi, and crypto regulation.
Event Highlights
- Prominent speakers: Nikil Viswanathan (Co-Founder, Alchemy), Miko Matsumura (Managing Partner, gumi Cryptos Capital), Phillip Shoemaker (CEO, Identity.com), and Navdeep Garg (Founder and CEO, Revinfotech Inc.) all addressed the full audience. Mahesh Chand (CEO, Mindcracker Inc.) opened the event with a vision for the Web3 talent economy.
- HackIndia 2024 integration: CSharpCorner's HackIndia 2024, India's largest Web3 hackathon, ran alongside the conference, bringing 9,000 students from 59 universities to tackle real-world blockchain challenges.
- Sharp Economy partnership: Sharp Economy and its Sharp Token (SHARP) ecosystem — a developer rewards platform where contributors earn real, redeemable tokens — was a headline partner, with workshops and pitch competitions integrated into the programme.
- Awards ceremony: Web3 projects and future leaders were recognised at an awards gala on the evening of each day.
- Scale: Over 54,000 participants combined (virtual and in-person), 100+ investors, 30+ speakers, and 50+ projects represented.
How Crypto and Web3 Are Growing in India
India has one of the world's largest crypto user bases. Gains on Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs) are taxed at 30% flat with a 1% TDS on qualifying transactions — a regime that pushed significant volume offshore but also led to 49 exchanges registering with FIU-IND by January 2026. The Bharat Web3 Association advocates for friendlier rules. Bangalore is India's Silicon Valley for blockchain talent, but Delhi's large developer and startup community makes it a compelling venue for mass-scale events.

Impact of the Event on India's Blockchain Scene
Running India's largest Web3 conference in Delhi rather than Bangalore widened the event's reach to a new developer and investor base. The medieval theme and gala format made it a conversation piece, drawing media attention beyond crypto circles. And by hosting HackIndia alongside, it turned the conference into an end-to-end talent discovery platform for the Indian Web3 ecosystem.
