Aeternum Brings Back Unchained Summit to Dubai – Mark Your Calendars for Oct 30–31, 2025!

Dubai’s crypto elite—clear your schedules. Aeternum just dropped the bombshell: the Unchained Summit is roaring back to the city of skyscrapers and tax-free gains this October.

Why it matters: The 2025 edition promises to be bigger, bolder, and packed with alpha—just don’t expect any Lambo giveaways (this isn’t 2021).

Between the lines: While VCs schmooze over $50 coffees, builders will actually debate the future of decentralized infrastructure. Priorities.

The kicker: If past events are any indicator, the afterparties alone could mint a few new meme coins. Proceed with caution—and maybe a liver detox.

After a breakout debut that brought global investors, builders, and regulators under one roof, the Unchained Summit returns to Dubai this October 30–31. Organised by Aeternum, Unchained has rapidly emerged as the go-to gathering for curated Web 3.0 dialogues. Framed around high-impact networking, regulatory engagement, and investor-founder traction, this edition lands at a moment of peak momentum for the UAE’s Web 3.0 sector.

: As the UAE sharpens its regulatory frameworks and capital continues to MOVE into Web 3.0 ventures, Dubai’s position as a global blockchain hub has only solidified. The timing of the second edition of Unchained Summit lands at a pivotal moment; when policy, infrastructure, and investor interest are finally aligning.

The event has established itself as the #1 Web 3.0 event for high-impact networking and deal flow, driving meaningful capital, connections and innovations on a global scale.

This year’s programme includes a roster of prominent industry figures, such as:

• Eowyn Chen, CEO, Trust Wallet, brings the perspective of a company trusted by over 200 million users worldwide.
• Andrew Vranjes, CRO, Blockdaemon, who drives global infrastructure growth across finance and DePIN.
• Mark Rydon, Co-founder & CSO, Aethir, whose push into decentralized cloud is changing gaming and AI.
• David Norris, CFO & CSO, NEAR Foundation, whose operational rigor helps scale tomorrow’s tools.
• Alexander Scott, Middle East Lead, Solana Superteam, enabling developer breakthroughs across MENA.
• Fefe Demeny, Lead Host, Crypto Banter, translating Web 3.0 for the mainstream and the next billion users.
• Zane Suren, MD Commercial, MEA, Zodia Custody, shaping regional digital asset regulation and custody.
• Bader Kalooti, Regional Head, Binance MEASAT, driving mainstream adoption at one of the world’s crypto superpowers, are among the early confirmed speakers.

While large-scale expos continue to dominate parts of the Web 3.0 landscape, Unchained Summit has deliberately taken a different route. Attendance is capped. Topics are curated. The format includes private roundtables, investor-founder matchmaking, and sessions tailored for decision-makers. Organisers say this was a deliberate response to what many describe as ‘conference fatigue’; where volume often eclipses value.

“We’ve seen enough noise,” said, Founder & CEO of Aeternum. “What the ecosystem needs is focus. Spaces where serious builders, funds, and policy makers can meet without the distractions. That’s what we’re trying to offer.”

I’m thrilled to join the Unchained Summit in Dubai, where the brightest minds are shaping the future of blockchain infrastructure. It’s an exceptional forum for collaborating on institutional-grade solutions that advance scalability, security, and interoperability, as we drive the growth of digital asset ecosystems throughout the MENA region,” said, Chief Revenue Officer, Blockdaemon.

This year’s edition will also feature the launch of, a focused pitch competition running alongside the main conference. Web 3.0 founders – spanning DeFi, cross-chain infrastructure, tokenized assets, and beyond, will get five minutes on stage to present in front of serious investors on what they’re building and why it matters.

Applications are now open and will close on 15 October 2025.
