India Blockchain Tour 2025 Unites Crypto Community Across 8 Cities

Octaloop, a pioneering crypto-native community in India, has announced the India Blockchain Tour 2025 (IBT), an ambitious 8-city expedition aimed at uniting developers, creators, investors, regulators, and everyday crypto users across the country. The tour, which kicks off on June 28 in Hyderabad and concludes on December 6 in Bangalore, will traverse through key cities including Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Delhi, Goa, Mumbai, and Chennai. Each stop is designed to serve as a local catalyst for India’s decentralized future, fostering a movement that goes beyond mere app development.

The IBT 2025 is more than just a series of events; it is a celebration of builders, believers, and bold ideas. The tour will feature raw, unfiltered fireside chats with founders who have navigated through challenging market conditions, high-signal conversations on regulation, safety, and India’s Web3 future, and language-inclusive workshops for developers, artists, and Web3 newcomers. The community-first vibe will be powered by memes, merchandise, and genuine human energy, creating an inclusive and engaging environment for all participants.

One of the highlights of the tour is Metamorphosis 2025, a two-day crypto carnival scheduled for September 27–28 in New Delhi. This event coincides with ETHGlobal and India’s growing visibility in the Web3 space. Metamorphosis will bring together top minds from DeFi, NFTs, infrastructure, and traditional finance to share stories, solutions, and insights. Founders will have the opportunity to pitch live on Demo Day, backed by NewTribe Capital, and communities will connect across cultures, wallets, and protocols. Panel discussions will delve into topics such as token design, user trust, and long-term viability, providing a comprehensive look at the future of Web3 in India.

India, with over 500 million internet users and one of the youngest and smartest tech populations globally, is not just another emerging economy. It is a proving ground for real-world adoption of decentralized technologies, from DeFi in rural savings circles to NFTs in regional creator economies. The IBT 2025 will plug into these cities, offering events in regional languages, content tailored to local concerns, and creator communities that drive conversations both offline and on-chain. This hyperlocal approach ensures that the tour is relevant and impactful for each community it visits.

Early support from global players such as Bybit and MEXC underscores the significance of the IBT vision. Their backing sets a precedent for other major protocols, chains, and brands to enter the Indian market with a community-first approach. Through Metamorphosis Demo Day, selected startups will not only pitch for funding but also enter an ecosystem acceleration funnel. This support includes audit partners, go-to-market and launchpad guidance, listing and market-making support, and real user onboarding through IBT and local communities. Anupam Varshney, Founder of Octaloop, emphasizes the importance of building with Indian developers and users, rather than just marketing to them.

This tour is not just another blockchain roadshow; it is India’s Web3 awakening. Everyone is invited to co-author India’s Web3 story, one block, one city, and one community at a time. Sponsorships, speaker slots, demo day participation, and press access are now open, encouraging widespread involvement and collaboration. The IBT 2025 aims to foster a movement that is by the people, for the people, embodying the spirit of decentralization and community empowerment.
