	~~BlocSoc~~, ~~officially~~ known as ~~the Blockchain Society~~ at ~~the Indian Institute of Technology~~ Delhi~~, serves as the primary hub for~~ research~~, development,~~ and ~~education in decentralized technologies within the institute~~. The organization ~~is dedicated to demystifying the complexities of blockchain and Web3, providing a structured environment where students can transition from theoretical understanding~~ to ~~practical application. By fostering~~ a community of ~~developers, researchers, and~~ enthusiasts, BlocSoc aims to position IIT Delhi at the forefront of the global decentralized technology landscape. Its mission extends beyond simple academic inquiry, emphasizing the creation of impactful projects and the cultivation of a robust builder culture that encourages students to contribute to the evolving digital economy. Through its various initiatives, the society acts as a bridge between the rigorous academic environment of the institute and the rapidly evolving ~~industrial sector of decentralized finance and distributed ledger technology~~.		The Blockchain Society, known as BlocSoc, at IIT Delhi is dedicated to research and projects centered around blockchain technology. The organization aims to foster a community of enthusiasts and innovators in the rapidly evolving Web3 landscape.

	~~Central to the society’s mission are its comprehensive educational programs designed to onboard students into~~ the blockchain ~~ecosystem regardless~~ of ~~their prior experience~~. ~~One of its foundational initiatives is BC106, a multi~~-~~day lecture series~~ and ~~building session specifically tailored for beginners. This program introduces participants~~ to ~~core concepts such as decentralized finance, Layer 2 scaling solutions~~, ~~governance models~~, and ~~Solidity programming~~. ~~For more advanced engagement, the society organizes~~ the DeFi Summer Bootcamp~~, an intensive five-week program that covers a wide spectrum of topics, including smart contract development, Miner Extractable Value,~~ and ~~privacy protection. Participants~~ in ~~these programs engage in hands-on tasks such as deploying non-fungible tokens on testnets, building staking applications,~~ and ~~developing decentralized exchanges, ensuring that theoretical knowledge is immediately applied to real-world scenarios~~.		== Activities ==
			* BlocSoc regularly hosts workshops and lectures featuring prominent figures in the blockchain space, such as Dr. Gavin Wood, co-founder of Ethereum.
			* The club organizes hands-on sessions and competitions, including Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges, to enhance members' technical skills in blockchain, cryptography, and decentralized technologies.
			* Educational initiatives like the DeFi Summer Bootcamp and BC106 lecture series are designed to guide participants from beginner to advanced levels in blockchain understanding and application.

	~~The society frequently collaborates with international~~ industry leaders ~~to host specialized technical workshops that delve into cutting-edge cryptographic research. A notable example of this is Atattva Jnana~~, ~~a two-day intensive workshop~~ on ~~Zero Knowledge Proofs organized in collaboration with the Ethereum Foundation. This program guides students through~~ the ~~mathematical foundations~~ of ~~linear algebra and group theory before progressing to the design of Zero Knowledge circuits and the implementation of Zero Knowledge Virtual Machines~~. ~~Similarly, the society partners~~ with ~~organizations like Chainlink to conduct workshops on cross-chain interoperability protocols and token standards. These sessions are characterized by~~ a ~~rigorous technical focus~~, ~~often requiring~~ participants ~~to come prepared~~ with ~~development environments to execute complex code under the guidance of~~ industry ~~experts, thereby fostering a high level of technical proficiency among the student body~~.		== Flagship Events ==
			* '''INTERFACES Conference''': A landmark event featuring industry leaders like Vitalik Buterin and Austin Griffith, focusing on the future of Web3.
			* '''Kronos CTF''': A competitive event with a ₹50K prize pool, challenging participants in blockchain and cryptography.
			* '''DeFi Summer Bootcamp''': An intensive online program aimed at building practical skills in decentralized finance over five weeks.
			* '''Shipathon''': A biweekly hackathon encouraging innovation in blockchain and AI with mentorship and problem statements from industry.

	~~Competitive programming and rapid prototyping are integral components of the~~ BlocSoc ~~experience~~, ~~manifested through various hackathons and Capture~~ the ~~Flag events. The Kronos CTF serves as a high-intensity challenge focusing on blockchain security, cryptography,~~ and ~~zero-knowledge systems~~, ~~where teams compete~~ to ~~solve complex technical puzzles~~. ~~To encourage frequent innovation, the society hosts Shipathon in partnership~~ with ~~the Artificial Intelligence society, ARIES. This biweekly 48-hour event challenges teams to transform conceptual ideas into market-ready products, focusing on themes like proof-of-work blockchains~~ and ~~federated learning. Furthermore, the Trihacker Web3 Hackathon provides a platform for students~~ to ~~compete on Solidity-based tracks,~~ with ~~top performers often receiving~~ opportunities ~~to engage with~~ the ~~broader national developer community through sponsored participation in major industry events~~.		== Collaborations ==
			BlocSoc collaborates with various organizations, including the Ethereum Foundation and other tech societies at IIT Delhi, to enhance its educational offerings and event experiences. The club also engages with industry experts and companies to provide members with insights and opportunities in the blockchain sector.

	BlocSoc has established itself as a significant venue for global thought leadership by hosting landmark conferences and high-profile speakers on the IIT Delhi campus. The Interfaces conference represents a flagship event for the society, having featured legendary figures such as Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, and Austin Griffith. The society also facilitates exclusive sessions with other pioneers, such as Dr. Gavin Wood, the founder of Polkadot and co-founder of Ethereum. These events provide students with rare access to the architects of modern decentralized infrastructure, allowing for direct dialogue on the future of Web3 and the evolution of decentralized networks. By bringing such luminaries to the campus, BlocSoc bridges the gap between student researchers and the highest echelons of the global technology industry, inspiring the next generation of Indian blockchain developers.		== Event Timeline ==

	~~Beyond the confines~~ of ~~the campus~~, ~~BlocSoc maintains a strong presence at major national~~ and ~~international blockchain gatherings~~, ~~ensuring that~~ the ~~work of IIT Delhi students is recognized~~ on ~~a global scale~~. ~~The society actively represents the institute at events such as ETHMumbai, ETHSingapore~~, and India Blockchain Week, ~~where its members participate~~ in ~~hackathons and networking forums with~~ founders~~, developers~~, and ~~venture capitalists~~. ~~Internally~~, ~~the organization is managed by~~ a ~~structured team of coordinators~~ and ~~executives who oversee diverse portfolios including technology~~, ~~events~~, ~~partnerships~~, and ~~design~~. ~~The recruitment process is open to students across various academic years~~, ~~prioritizing a passion for innovation~~ and ~~a willingness to learn over prior experience~~. ~~Through this multidisciplinary approach~~, ~~BlocSoc ensures its longevity~~ and ~~continued influence as a cornerstone of the technological~~ and ~~entrepreneurial ecosystem~~ at IIT Delhi.		{\| class="wikitable" style="width:100%"
