Aeternum Announces Unchained Summit 2025 in Dubai

Aeternum has announced the return of the Unchained Summit to Dubai on October 30–31, 2025. This event, which convened stakeholders from the global blockchain ecosystem during its inaugural edition, is set to focus on Web 3.0 developments, regulatory engagement, investor-founder interaction, and sector networking. The summit aligns with the continued growth of the UAE’s blockchain and digital assets landscape, as the region sharpens its regulatory frameworks and attracts more capital into Web 3.0 ventures. The timing of the second edition is strategic, coinciding with the alignment of policy, infrastructure, and investor interest.

The Unchained Summit has established itself as the premier Web 3.0 event for high-impact networking and deal flow, driving meaningful capital, connections, and innovations on a global scale. The event features a roster of prominent industry figures, including Eowyn Chen, CEO of Trust Wallet, Andrew Vranjes, CRO of Blockdaemon, Mark Rydon, Co-founder & CSO of Aethir, David Norris, CFO & CSO of NEAR Foundation, Alexander Scott, Middle East Lead of Solana Superteam, Fefe Demeny, Lead Host of Crypto Banter, Zane Suren, MD Commercial, MEA of Zodia Custody, and Bader Kalooti, Regional Head of Binance MEASAT. These speakers bring diverse perspectives and expertise to the summit, covering areas such as decentralized cloud, digital asset regulation, and mainstream adoption of blockchain technology.

Unlike large-scale expos that dominate parts of the Web 3.0 landscape, the Unchained Summit has taken a different approach by capping attendance, curating topics, and including private roundtables, investor-founder matchmaking, and sessions tailored for decision-makers. This format is a deliberate response to what many describe as ‘conference fatigue,’ where volume often eclipses value. Sharath Kumar, Founder & CEO of Aeternum, emphasized the need for focused spaces where serious builders, funds, and policymakers can meet without distractions. Andrew Vranjes, Chief Revenue Officer of Blockdaemon, expressed his excitement about joining the summit, highlighting its role in shaping the future of blockchain infrastructure and driving the growth of digital asset ecosystems throughout the MENA region.

This year’s edition will also feature the launch of the Unchained Pitch Competition, a focused pitch competition running alongside the main conference. Web 3.0 founders will have five minutes on stage to present their projects to serious investors. Applications for the competition are now open and will close on October 15, 2025. Additionally, Aeternum has been developing the “Hash it Over” podcast series, which has released five episodes to date. The show features long-form discussions with protocol leaders, infrastructure players, and early investors, offering insights into the challenges and contradictions of Web 3.0 development.

Super Early Bird tickets for the 2025 summit are now available until August 1, 2025, at discounted rates. The full speaker lineup, agenda, and partner list will be announced in the coming weeks.
