Hey there, crypto enthusiasts! If you're into decentralized finance (DeFi) and want to stay ahead of the curve, you’re in for a treat. The 26th installment of the Dolomite DeFi Roundtable is kicking off soon, and it’s shaping up to be an exciting event. Posted by Dolomite on August 8, 2025, at 13:00 UTC (which is 10:00 PM JST, just an hour from now as I write this at 11:04 PM JST), this roundtable is bringing together some big names in the blockchain space. Let’s dive into what’s on the agenda and why you should care!

What’s the Dolomite DeFi Roundtable All About?

For those new to the scene, Dolomite is a next-generation DeFi platform that combines a decentralized exchange (DEX) with a lending protocol. Think of it as a one-stop shop where you can trade, borrow, and lend crypto assets efficiently. The DeFi Roundtable is a regular event where industry leaders gather to discuss trends, innovations, and the future of DeFi. This 26th edition promises to be packed with insights, and it’s happening virtually, so you can join from anywhere!

The lineup includes heavyweights like Chainlink, known for its oracle services that connect smart contracts to real-world data, and Berachain, a rising star in the proof-of-liquidity blockchain space. Also joining are World Liberty Fi, Castle Labs, and Plutus Fi. With this diverse group, expect a mix of technical deep dives and big-picture discussions.

When and How to Join

The event starts in just three hours from the original post time, which means it’s live at 1:00 AM UTC on August 9, 2025 (that’s 10:00 AM JST on August 9 for those in Japan). Since it’s currently 11:04 PM JST on August 8, you’ve got a little time to set a reminder and grab a coffee! You can join via the link provided in the tweet: set a reminder here. It’s open to everyone, so no excuses—mark your calendars!

Bonus: Earn Dolomite XP!

Here’s where it gets fun. Attendees can earn Dolomite XP, a reward system designed to recognize active community members. Think of XP as points you collect by engaging with the platform—complete tasks, join events, and level up for benefits like governance rights or extra rewards. During the roundtable, keep your ears peeled for a special passphrase. Stay until the end, note it down, and head to this link to claim your XP. It’s a great way to get involved and maybe even boost your standing in the Dolomite community!

What the Community Is Saying

The buzz is already building on X. Users like welder are predicting big things, suggesting projects tied to World Liberty Fi could hit a $5B market cap by December—pretty bold! Meanwhile, furan and matt (farming aura) are hyped about the event, with BerAI expressing excitement for Berachain’s contribution. The energy is contagious, and it’s clear this roundtable is generating some serious FOMO (fear of missing out)!

Why This Matters for Meme Token Fans

Even if you’re here for meme tokens, this event is worth your time. DeFi innovations often influence the broader crypto market, including the wild world of meme coins. Understanding platforms like Dolomite and the projects featured could give you an edge in spotting the next big trend. Plus, with XP rewards up for grabs, it’s a low-risk way to dip your toes into DeFi while potentially earning something valuable.

So, what are you waiting for? Set that reminder, join the Dolomite DeFi Roundtable, and let’s see where this journey takes us. Got questions or predictions? Drop them in the comments—I’d love to hear your thoughts!
