About this Event

Shape the future of global blockchain governance at BGIN Block 13, where inclusive multi-stakeholder action meets international standard-setting.

What to Expect

BGIN: Founded for Global Standardization

Born from the 2019 G20 Osaka Communiqué, BGIN provides a unique, open forum for a broad range of voices—from regulators to technologists and civic imaginations—to converge in crafting actionable blockchain governance standards. It holds a Category A Liaison to ISO/TC 307 and contributes to procurement standards under WTO/TBT frameworks, driving global alignment and interoperability.

Block 13: Standardization in Action

More than a conference—Block 13 is an integral part of the standards development process. Over three days, participants will:

  • Review, edit, and finalize existing standard documents
  • Approve new standardization proposals
  • Initiate discussions on emerging topics such as blockchain forensics, agent frameworks, wallet governance, stablecoin regulation, and cybersecurity information sharing

Key Projects at the Event

Highlighted ongoing initiatives include:

  • Wallet Governance & Key Management – Crafting policy frameworks for secure and compliant wallet systems
  • Accountable Wallet – Defining standard mechanisms enabling transaction legitimacy while preserving privacy
  • Agent Standards & Frameworks – Building interoperability for blockchain agents, reputation systems, and agentic competition
  • Stablecoin Policy Priorities – Analysis of past, present, and future regulatory landscapes for stablecoins
  • Cybersecurity Information Sharing Framework – Enhancing collaborative security across blockchain networks

Who Should Attend

  • Regulators & Policymakers – Influence real-world governance frameworks
  • Technologists & Standards Developers – Collaborate on developing robust technical benchmarks
  • Industry Leaders & Practitioners – Understand compliance trends and contribute to praxis
  • Academics, Researchers & Students – Engage in frontier governance discourse and network with global experts

Why It Matters

At BGIN Block 13, your participation matters. This isn’t just about absorbing knowledge—it’s about contributing directly to the development of international standards that guide the blockchain ecosystem. Whether it’s documents that shape ISO frameworks or mechanisms influencing global policy, this event is where decisions become tomorrow’s infrastructure.
