Stripe DeFi Community Launch

# Networking

# Stablecoins & crypto

# Stripe products

# Agentic commerce

Welcome to the first event from the Stripe DeFi Community.

This community brings together founders, operators, and builders working in DeFi - including those building on Stripe's own crypto stack (Privy, Bridge, Tempo and MPP) - to share what's working, learn from each other's experiences, and figure it out together.

At this first online meetup, we'll introduce ourselves, set the direction for the community together, and kick off with a fireside chat and open Q&A with a guest from Stripe Crypto on wallets and the infrastructure layer underneath DeFi. No long presentations - just a real conversation with people working in DeFi who are figuring out the same things you are.

Who's it for? Business owners, operators, and builders working in DeFi - whether you already use Stripe, are exploring the ecosystem, or simply want a peer community to come back to.

We'll have a short community presentation, followed by a fireside chat, then close with a walkthrough of stripecommunity.com - where this community will live between events. We'll also work together to define our community principles.

Fireside Chat

Presentation/Fireside chat: Stripe DeFi infrastructure

A presentation/conversation with the Stripe Crypto team on the foundations underneath DeFi - wallets, onboarding, and how the infrastructure layer (chains, key management) supports everything built on top. A strategy and builder perspective, not a technical deep dive.
