As announced by Sui Network on May 15, 2025, 'Sui Connect Istanbul' is set to bring together top minds from the blockchain and Web3 sphere. The event will take place at The Roof, Ritz-Carlton Istanbul on June 26, 2025. Running from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM EET, the event marks a special edition of the global 'Sui Connect' series.

Hosted jointly by the Sui Network and Walrus Protocol teams, this evening gathering promises deep conversations, dynamic demos, and rooftop networking. As Istanbul Blockchain Week draws global talent, this meetup adds a strong technical edge to the broader conversation. Attendees can look forward to exploring new ideas, meeting protocol founders, and discovering how decentralized storage and blockchain innovation intersect in real-world applications.

Istanbul Welcomes Sui Ecosystem’s Global Builders

'Sui Connect Istanbul' aims to bring together ecosystem builders, developers, and the broader Web3 community in a relaxed yet focused setting. The event will feature keynotes from the Sui Foundation leadership and Walrus Protocol engineers, who will be introducing their decentralized storage infrastructure live on-site. Guests can expect structured demos, fireside chats, and curated networking, designed for idea exchange and ecosystem growth.

With blockchain innovation rapidly gaining traction in Türkiye and across Europe, Istanbul provides the ideal backdrop for this gathering. More than just a technology showcase, this event reflects the broader mission of expanding open internet infrastructure. The city’s tech-savvy developer base and its strategic location between Europe and Asia create a natural bridge for collaboration. The 'Sui Connect Istanbul' meetup invites regional developers into the global Sui ecosystem. It is also set to energize conversations on building scalable and secure decentralized systems. From exploring the flexibility of smart contracts to the possibilities of decentralized file storage, the evening will bring vision and execution together on one rooftop.

Walrus Protocol to Anchor Next-Gen Web3 Applications

One of the evening’s central topics will be the Walrus Protocol, a decentralized storage layer designed for the Sui blockchain. Developed to effectively solve on-chain storage bottlenecks, the protocol uses advanced erasure coding and redundancy to improve reliability and reduce data costs. With seamless support for real-time dApps and smart contracts, it enables more robust infrastructure for NFTs, social platforms, and gaming projects on Sui.

Attendees will learn how the protocol ensures data availability while optimizing for performance and security. Its architecture allows developers to create programmable storage experiences without relying on centralized file systems. This makes it ideal for projects demanding trustless data retrieval and long-term data preservation. As Walrus approaches its mainnet launch, 'Sui Connect Istanbul' provides developers and investors with early insights into the protocol’s role in the future of decentralized storage.

Where Builders Meet and Protocols Evolve

More than just a product launchpad, the 'Sui Connect Istanbul' evening is designed for open dialogue and shared vision. The event allows attendees to forge deep connections through a mix of networking, music, and the rooftop ambiance. Developers can discuss ecosystem roadmaps, cooperation prospects, and difficulties encountered in scaling Web3 development with the core team members of both Sui and Walrus. Enjoy carefully chosen food and beverages while interacting with peers, protocol architects, and community members in a way that encourages sustained cooperation and generates concepts for next-generation ecosystem applications.

As Sui continues to attract developer interest from around the world, events like 'Sui Connect Istanbul' serve as key drivers of momentum. By blending technology previews with real-world community engagement, the network is building a culture of participation. As Walrus advances the possibilities of decentralized storage, Sui is positioning itself as a key player in the next chapter of the internet.
