[Pre-DevFest] The "Touch Grass" Buildathon

Reject cafe modernity; embrace good old pav bhaji tradition. If you come to Mumbai and do not have a plate of buttery Pav Bhaji at Achija's, some would say you never really came to Mumbai. We cannot let that happen. Join us for a trek to the lands of Ghatkopar for some good, hearty food before we kick off Summit Week. Brought to you by our friends at Umbra. Umbra is a privacy layer for Solana that enables shielded transfers and encrypted swaps. Users can selectively disclose their activity when compliance requires it.

Thanks to the major success of GIIS event, we are excited to announce that BLS is coming with GIIS-IRES Mumbai, India on 31st Oct 2026.

Last day of Devcon. Before you head to the closing party, spend one session on the thing that decides whether what you shipped this week survives contact with mainnet. Ship Safe is QuillAudits' security session for Devcon Mumbai: real exploit teardowns, a practical audit-readiness clinic, and a panel on what actually broke in 2026 and why. Short talks, hard questions, then drinks. What to expect Exploit teardowns: we walk through the biggest 2026 incidents line by line. Where the bug was, why the audit missed it, what the fix looked like. Audit readiness: how to prepare a codebase so an audit finds real issues instead of formatting nits. Scoping, invariants, test coverage, what to freeze before review. AI vs AI: how attackers are using AI to find bugs faster, and what AI-assisted auditing and formal verification change for teams shipping on tight timelines. Panel: founders, auditors and researchers on the security debt building up across L2s, RWA and stablecoin rails, and what they would do differently. Networking and drinks from 6:45 PM. Who should come Founders, CTOs and protocol engineers shipping on Ethereum and L2s. Security researchers and auditors. RWA, stablecoin and DeFi teams. Anyone who wants an honest look at how things break. About QuillAudits 8+ years securing Web3. 1,500+ audits, 1M+ lines reviewed, trusted by teams including StarkWare, Taiko, ZetaChain and Metis.
