What Was Sui Basecamp 2024?
Sui Basecamp 2024 was the flagship Web3 conference for the Sui blockchain ecosystem, held in Paris, France, from 10 to 11 April 2024. Organized by Mysten Labs, the team behind Sui, it brought together developers, DeFi builders, investors, and ecosystem partners to showcase what the Sui blockchain has built and where it is heading. Running it in Paris was a bold choice — the city sits at the heart of Europe's growing Web3 community and hosts Paris Blockchain Week each year, making it a hub for crypto innovation.
The event was both a developer gathering and a product showcase, with sessions from Sui's core team alongside ecosystem projects. To follow similar shows, check CoinGabbar's blockchain events hub and the crypto events calendar.
Key Themes at Sui Basecamp 2024
The agenda centered on Sui's growing ecosystem:
- Sui Move programming language — the smart contract language powering Sui apps.
- DeFi on Sui — lending, trading, and liquidity protocols built on the chain.
- Gaming and NFTs on Sui, using its object-centric model for digital ownership.
- Sui ecosystem grants and investment — funding for builders in the network.
Many participants also tracked shows through CoinGabbar's Web3 tech events page.
How Crypto and Web3 Are Growing in France
France has been a European crypto pioneer since the PACTE Act in 2019, which established the first formal framework for Digital Asset Service Providers (DASPs). Over 100 players registered under the AMF's DASP regime, making France one of Europe's most structured pre-MiCA markets. Since December 2024, MiCA applies fully and France's AMF is regarded as one of Europe's most rigorous MiCA regulators. The transitional period for existing DASPs runs to 1 July 2026. SwissBorg received one of the first AMF MiCA approvals in March 2026. Bpifrance runs a dedicated Web3 fund supporting French blockchain startups. Paris Blockchain Week is one of Europe's most important annual crypto gatherings. For more French shows, see CoinGabbar's crypto conferences list.
