Formerly Blockchain Australia.
During Blockchain Week 2024, it was announced that Blockchain Australia would transition to the Digital Economy Council of Australia (DECA). This evolution recognises the foundational role of Blockchain, Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), and digital assets in driving Australia’s digital economy and our commitment to supporting and advocating for members and businesses harnessing these transformative technologies.

Those experts serve to inform others and drive the policy and regulatory agenda. They do so by understanding the implications involved in the development of blockchain technology.
They apply that knowledge through the communication of that information across a variety of working groups that address and impact the most critical and topical challenges facing the industry. Developing all facets of blockchain in Australia.

Scam Awareness
Unfortunately scams and scammers exist in the cryptocurrency and blockchain sector.
They prey on people’s insecurities, lack of knowledge and are opportunistic. The best defence to these fake opportunities is to be aware of the tactics used to deceive.
Education is the best line of defence.
