The internet revolutionized communication, yet every year trillions in value still flow through legacy centralized systems, slow to settle, opaque by design, and dependent on layers of intermediaries. Decentralized finance represents a structural shift: not a new asset class, but the foundation of a new financial system. In this fireside chat, Joseph Lubin explores how DeFi will become finance itself, meaning a world where financial activity settles instantly, executes through programmable software, and operates on open, transparent, and composable infrastructure by default. Lubin will discuss Ethereum as a global settlement and execution layer for financial systems built for the new decentralized economy, and what changes when those systems begin to operate at real-world scale.
