What Was DeComput 2023?
DeComput 2023 was a focused conference held in Singapore on 12 and 13 September 2023, built around MPC (multi-party computation) technology. It put cryptography researchers, protocol designers, and commercial developers under one roof for open discussion on decentralised authentication, authorization, and cryptographic computing. The official page sat on the DeComput site. As a deep-tech, research-led event, it sat at the frontier of applied cryptography.
This was a specialist gathering, not a broad market show, drawing people who build the cryptography under Web3. To follow similar events, check the crypto events calendar and our Web3 tech events list.
Key Themes at DeComput
The agenda was built for cryptographers and protocol engineers:
- Multi-party computation (MPC) for shared, private computing.
- Decentralised authentication and authorization.
- Cryptographic computing and key management.
- Research meets production, linking academics and developers.
The depth made it a magnet for serious cryptography talent. Many guests also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How Crypto Is Growing in Singapore
Singapore is one of the world's most respected crypto hubs, built on clear rules and deep tech. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) licenses digital payment token services under the Payment Services Act, applying strict standards on custody, conduct, and consumer protection. Big names like Coinbase, Ripple, and Circle have secured Singapore licences, reflecting the city-state's reputation for serious, compliant crypto business.
The innovation runs deep. MAS leads tokenization work through Project Guardian and has explored purpose-bound digital money via Project Orchid, while building a framework for single-currency stablecoins. Singapore charges no capital gains tax and exempts digital payment tokens from GST, which helps both funds and builders. For a research-led event like DeComput, this matters: Singapore pairs cutting-edge cryptography talent with a regulator that takes the technology seriously.

Impact of the Event on Singapore's Crypto Tech
A cryptography conference in Singapore helps the ecosystem in real ways. It connects MPC researchers with the firms that ship the tech. It pushes secure, private computing forward for Web3 and finance. And it shows Singapore is not just a trading hub but a research one too. Each edition seeds the next protocol or product.
Why Sponsors, Exhibitors and Partners Should Join
A deep-tech event reaches the people building the cryptography layer. Strong fits include:
- MPC and key-management firms: meet core researchers.
- Wallet and custody providers: show secure computing in action.
- Identity and auth platforms: reach protocol designers.
- Infrastructure and security firms: recruit cryptography talent.
- Funds and deep-tech VCs: spot early cryptography teams.

Why KOLs, Media and Influencers Attend
A research-led event offers substance for technical audiences. KOLs and media meet the cryptographers shaping security and privacy in Web3. Coverage can spread through the crypto press release network.
Why Builders and Researchers Join
Builders and researchers come for the depth. You trade notes with peers on MPC, auth, and cryptographic computing. You test ideas with people who truly understand the maths. Many leave with collaborators, a research lead, or a clearer path from paper to product.

How the Event Concluded and What Came Next
DeComput wrapped up with deep technical exchange and new ties between MPC researchers, protocol designers, and developers. Several research and product collaborations started here. By hosting a cryptography-first event in Singapore, it underlined the city-state's strength in both regulation and research, the same mix that draws serious crypto firms to MAS-licensed Singapore. It also helped pave the way for more deep-tech crypto events. To follow what came next, see the crypto events calendar and our crypto conferences page.
