What Was D1Conf 2024?
D1Conf, the Decentralized Insurance Conference, was held at The Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, on 14 November 2024. Timed as a satellite event alongside Ethereum's flagship developer conference Devcon 7 — also held in Bangkok in November 2024 — it brought together DeFi protocol founders, risk engineers, and blockchain insurance researchers for a focused single day exploring on-chain risk management, decentralised coverage protocols, and the technical challenges of building trustless insurance infrastructure. The official page sat on the D1Conf site. As a Devcon satellite, D1Conf benefited from the exceptional concentration of Ethereum's most technically engaged builders gathered in Bangkok for the broader conference week.
The satellite format meant D1Conf could draw on Devcon 7's deep developer pool without competing directly for the broader blockchain conference audience. To follow similar events, check the crypto events calendar and our crypto summits list.
Key Themes at D1Conf 2024
The single-day agenda focused exclusively on decentralised insurance:
- On-chain risk assessment and coverage protocols.
- DeFi smart contract vulnerability insurance.
- Oracle networks for claims verification.
- Decentralised insurance market design.
The focused, single-vertical format gave D1Conf unusual technical depth for a single day, drawing practitioners specifically committed to the decentralised insurance problem rather than a general blockchain audience. Many guests also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How the Devcon 7 Satellite Context Shaped D1Conf
Thailand's SEC regulates digital asset businesses under the Digital Asset Businesses Decree, providing the Thai regulatory backdrop for DeFi discussions in Bangkok. As a Devcon 7 satellite, D1Conf was uniquely positioned within the densest concentration of Ethereum's most technically engaged builders the ecosystem gathers anywhere annually, allowing the conference to pull specialist DeFi insurance researchers who might not travel specifically for a standalone niche event but were already present for Devcon.
Decentralised insurance occupies a technically demanding niche within DeFi: designing coverage protocols that are trustless, resistant to adverse selection, solvent under correlated risk events, and capable of verifying claims without centralised adjusters. D1Conf's Devcon satellite format was precisely calibrated to attract the researchers and engineers capable of engaging with these challenges at the necessary technical depth.

Impact of D1Conf 2024 on Decentralised Insurance Development
A focused single-day decentralised insurance conference as a Devcon 7 satellite advanced the field through uniquely deep specialist engagement. It connected risk engineers with protocol founders within Ethereum's most technically concentrated annual gathering. It surfaced oracle networks and claims verification as core technical challenges for the decentralised insurance stack. And it reinforced decentralised insurance's status as a serious DeFi research vertical. Each session reflected that technically-focused, niche-specialist character.
Why Sponsors, Exhibitors and Partners Should Join
D1Conf reached DeFi's decentralised insurance specialist community. Strong fits included:
