What Was Unfold 2024?
Unfold was held in Bengaluru, India, from 1 to 3 December 2024. A dedicated Web3 conference, it brought together developers, founders, and investors for three days exploring DeFi, infrastructure, and India's growing blockchain developer ecosystem. The official page sat on the Unfold site. Held within Bengaluru, India's established startup and technology capital, the conference gave Indian Web3 builders a genuinely fitting home base.
Bengaluru's deep concentration of technology talent and venture capital gave Unfold genuine ecosystem credibility beyond typical regional blockchain gatherings. To follow similar events, check the crypto events calendar and our India crypto events list.
Key Themes at Unfold
The three-day agenda spanned India's Web3 ecosystem comprehensively:
- DeFi and infrastructure development.
- Web3 startup founder networking.
- Developer tooling and grants.
- Indian regulatory landscape.
The Bengaluru setting gave Unfold genuine proximity to India's broader startup and venture capital ecosystem, distinct from blockchain conferences held in less technology-concentrated cities. Many guests also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How Bengaluru's Startup Ecosystem Shaped Unfold's Character
India taxes crypto gains at a flat 30% rate with a 1% TDS on transactions, while SEBI and the RBI continue developing their respective regulatory positions without a single comprehensive crypto law. Bengaluru's status as India's "Silicon Valley," home to the country's deepest concentration of technology talent, venture capital firms, and successful startup exits, gave Unfold's Web3 founder networking genuine access to India's broader technology investment community.
This ecosystem proximity meant Unfold's developer and infrastructure sessions attracted attendees connected to India's wider startup funding landscape, not solely crypto-native circles, giving Web3 founders genuine exposure to investors and talent who might otherwise focus exclusively on traditional technology sectors.
