Hello everyone,
We are pleased to announce that submissions are now open for CoDecFin 2027 — the 8th Workshop on Coordination of Decentralized Finance, held in association with Financial Cryptography and Data Security 2027 (FC’27).
CoDecFin is the FC-associated workshop on technology and operational issues of permissionless blockchain and decentralized finance. BGIN was initiated after early CoDeFi / CoDecFin workshops, and CoDecFin discussions continue to inform BGIN documents and Working Group agendas. We warmly encourage BGIN members and Working Groups to submit papers, short papers, and related research/practice results, and to share this call with relevant colleagues.

Special areas of this year
We keep a broad CFP, and especially welcome contributions that provide an academic foundation for stakeholders in areas such as:
- Evaluation and crypto agility for post-quantum migration
- Advanced and offline key management
- Security AI agents; agent standards and frameworks
- Accountable Wallet and Security Target / Protection Profile (ST/PP)
- Technical metrics for decentralization
- Harmonization among crypto-assets, stablecoins, and tokenized deposits
- AI and blockchain
- L2, bridges, and cross-chain resilience
CoDecFin 2027 takes place immediately after publication of the NEDO/METI prize-program call on blockchain security in the quantum era. An opening invited briefing will state what was published; refereed sessions address interpretation and evaluation under that rubric. Note: the NEDO/METI prize program is hosted in Japan; CoDecFin is an academic forum and does not select competition winners.
Please help amplify
If this is relevant to your Working Group, organization, or network, please share the CFP and EasyChair link, and consider submitting your own work. Questions about fit for CoDecFin are welcome in this thread.
Thank you — looking forward to strong submissions from the BGIN community.
