Lido contributors are co-hosting the Ethereum Forward Defence Summit in Mumbai on November 4, 2026. The event will take place during the week of Devcon 8 India, which is scheduled from November 3 to November 6 at the Jio World Centre. The summit aims to address protocol security, a critical focus for the Ethereum ecosystem.
The summit follows the DeFi Security Summit, which is set for October 31 to November 2 in Mumbai. Together, these events create a week-long schedule of security-focused programming for developers and researchers. Lido has previously participated in the DeFi Security Summit, focusing on layered defense and protocol upgrades.
As the largest liquid staking protocol on Ethereum, Lido faces unique security challenges in 2026. The protocol is currently managing validator consolidations, new code upgrades, and the expansion of institutional staking activities. These developments introduce new attack surfaces that require ongoing technical oversight.
Organizers have not yet announced a speaker list or a detailed agenda for the November 4 summit. There are no plans for token launches or market activations associated with the event. The gathering is intended to serve as a platform for technical discussions among protocol engineers and researchers.
