VENUE

RAMI LIBRARY

Located in the heart of old Istanbul, the Rami Library is a one-of-a-kind cultural venue that blends centuries of history with a modern vision for learning and community.

Originally built as military complex in the 18th century and recently restored, the complex now serves as Türkiye's largest library and one of the largest in Europe.

RECENT CRYPTOGRAPHY SESSIONS

Over the past three years, we've hosted regular monthly meetups and launched the Blackboard Cryptography series, an exploration of cryptography and privacy technologies. Held in both Istanbul and Ankara, this series brings together protocol researchers, academics, and applied cryptographers to share knowledge the old-fashioned way: with chalk, a blackboard, and discussion.

FAQ

What is Cryptist?

Cryptist is an annual community-driven event in Istanbul focused on zero-knowledge, privacy, and cryptography. It brings together researchers, developers, protocols, and curious minds for a full day of technical talks, workshops, and real conversations, right at the intersection of Europe and Asia.

Where can I register?

You can register for Cryptist via Luma here.

I'm new to cryptography. Can I still join?

Cryptist is a technically-focused event, best suited for those with at least a basic understanding of cryptography, zero-knowledge, or related privacy technologies.

If you're early in your journey but already exploring the space (through study, research, or hands-on experimentation) you will likely find sessions that resonate with you.

It's not an entry-level conference, but a great place to deepen your learning and connect with others who are actively building and researching.

Will the event be live-streamed? Where can I follow it?

There won’t be a livestream, but don't worry, the talks will be recorded and published on our YouTube channel after the event.

I have another question.
