Crunchfish to Extensive Participation at CB+DC Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The CB+DC Conference brings together the people shaping this transformation: central bankers, policymakers, payment innovators and industry leaders. It is a unique space for learning, collaboration, and forward-thinking dialogue about how digital currencies and new payment infrastructures will revolutionize how money transfers are executed.

As a leading innovator in offline payments and digital cash resilience, Crunchfish will contribute to the conference through a keynote presentation, an academy session, a breakout session, and exhibition activities.

During the event, Crunchfish will host three different sessions:

• A 50-minute academy session on "Governed Offline Payments - Designing Resilient Payment Systems Without Trade-offs"

• Crunch fish CEO Joachim Samuelsson will deliver a 20-minute plenary speech titled "Offline Payments at Scale as Digital Money"

• A 20-minute breakout session on "Survivability by Design - From Offline Payments to Resilient Digital Systems"

Crunchfish will also participate in the conference exhibition area with a dedicated booth, engaging with central banks, system operators, service providers, and other industry stakeholders from around the world.

"Resilience, survivability, and offline capability are rapidly becoming essential requirements for future payment systems and CBDC infrastructures," said Joachim Samuelsson, CEO of Crunchfish. "The CB+DC Conference provides an excellent platform to discuss how governed offline payments can strengthen trust, continuity, and accessibility in digital money ecosystems."

Crunchfish's participation will highlight the company's Layer-2 offline payment architecture, designed to enable secure and governed offline transactions without requiring modifications to existing Layer-1 payment infrastructures. The company's technology enables digital payments to continue functioning during network outages, infrastructure disruptions, or connectivity limitations while maintaining strong security and governance controls.  

The conference sessions will further explore how offline payment systems can be implemented with configurable risk governance, cryptographic security, deferred settlement mechanisms, and interoperability across payment service providers and banking networks.
