Chain of Blocks Summit MT26
[Chain of Blocks](https://www.chainofblockssummit.com/) returns to Malta again in 2026 – and you can still be part of it!
It’s April 1 but we’re dead serious about showcasing the Chain of Blocks Summit because you can still join it with your Web3 related idea.
While rooted in the XRPL community, the summit is to connect multiple blockchain ecosystems. Each new edition expands into a broader, cross-chain ecosystem. The 2026 edition evolves into a 3-day ecosystem experience designed to empower a new wave of Web3 builders across interoperable networks, with a strong focus on:
Tokenization of real-world assets (RWA)
Collaboration between technology leaders, institutions, regulators, enterprises, and creatives
The Summit serves as a high-level networking platform for real-world Web3 integration; bringing together developers, enterprises, investors, regulators, and ecosystem leaders to co-create tangible digital infrastructure.
THE EVENT
Grand Hotel Excelsior \| Valletta \| Malta
20 - 22 May 2026
Chain of Blocks Summit takes a long-term, quality-over-quantity approach and is an international conference built around four core pillars:
Innovation, Networking, Education, and Unforgettable Experiences.
Hosted deliberately in Malta, a historic neutral meeting point between regions and industries, the event provides the right environment for open dialogue, balanced perspectives, and real-world implementation.
Come and learn about the next Web3 focused conference, right here in Malta, and be part of it!
