Running alongside and enhancing the Bitcoin 2024 conference, the Bitcoin Builders Conference provides a dedicated space for an emerging part of the community that will shape the future of the Bitcoin economy. The event is designed for Bitcoin builders and enthusiasts eager to explore the latest advancements, innovations, and trends. The speaker lineup, press, and investor participation reflect the growing interest in expanding Bitcoin’s ecosystem, particularly Layer 2 solutions and other Bitcoin scaling solutions.
The conference comes as Bitcoin continues to evolve as a secure base layer for applications and novel use cases, with an increasing focus on activating the network’s capital and global adoption. The Bitcoin Ecosystem has grown exponentially since December 2023, when the total value locked (“TVL”) for the entire ecosystem was around $320M from a limited set of contributing layers. Today’s TVL for the ecosystem has grown almost 7 times to over $2.2b from 17 of the now 70 growing Bitcoin layers and protocols (sources: BTCL2.info and DeFi Llama).
In light of this inflection point for the entire industry, the Bitcoin Builder’s Conference will showcase efforts of companies and projects from across the globe to enhance Bitcoin’s capabilities and onboard new users. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in live demos, technical workshops, keynote speeches, parties, panels, and discussions. The event will cover a wide range of topics including DeFi, rollups, mining, Ordinals, Bitcoin’s Layer 2’s, interoperability, storage, and more.
Event Highlights:
- Live Demos: See the latest innovations in Bitcoin technology in action.
- Technical Workshops: Hands-on sessions with experts to deepen your technical knowledge.
- Keynote Speeches: Insightful talks from industry leaders on the future of Bitcoin.
- Parties and Networking: Opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals.

“This event offers investors a unique opportunity to witness Bitcoin’s transformation from a mere store of value to a versatile and programmable blockchain,” says Catrina Wang, General Partner at Portal Ventures. “The wide range of participating projects showcases the enthusiasm of developers and the vibrance of the Bitcoin community. Bitcoin has always been a special asset – and excited to see events like Nashville Bitcoin Builders catalyze what it could become!”

About Stacks
Stacks is a Bitcoin L2 that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications to use Bitcoin as a secure base layer. The 2024 Nakamoto release will bring faster speeds as well as transactions that are as irreversible as Bitcoin’s once confirmed, setting the stage for a programmable Bitcoin asset called sBTC later in the year. Stacks is the current leading Bitcoin L2 by developer traction and market cap and is poised to help unlock Bitcoin and its $1T in passive capital as a fully programmable, productive asset. The Stacks (STX) token, used as gas on the L2, was the first to undergo an SEC-qualified sale in the United States. The project explicitly decentralized with the mainnet launch in 2021. In the Stacks ecosystem, there are currently 30+ contributing entities including a non-profit Stacks Foundation, a developer tooling company Hiro, Xverse, Trust Machines, Mechanism, Bitcoin L2 Labs, ALEX, Bitcoin Frontier Fund, and more.
