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.

- **Short papers** (8 pages LNCS format in total)

The review process is **double-blind** via EasyChair. Please do not include author names or affiliations in the submission.

### 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.
