Dark Prague is the annual flagship Bitcoin conference emerging from the Institute of Cryptoanarchy — three days of encrypted conversations, technical workshops, and underground culture at the historic Old Wastewater Treatment Plant in Prague.
Since 2014, Dark Prague has been the convergence point for cypherpunks, Bitcoin developers, privacy researchers, and digital freedom advocates. No fluff. No corporate sponsors. Just signal.
Three days across six spaces — from technical deep-dives on Layer 2, ZK-proofs and privacy protocols, to anarchist philosophy panels, open-source hackathons, and late-night social gatherings encrypted by design.
Císařský ostrov, Bubeneč · Prague, Czech Republic
The last fully preserved first-generation wastewater treatment facility in the world. Built in 1906. Art Nouveau industrial architecture with original machinery intact. On the UNESCO Tentative List.
Six unique spaces across the complex — from the industrial Main Stage to the intimate Underground, Workshop Room, Café Bar, Sponsors Lounge, and outdoor Backyard. A venue as radical as the ideas discussed within.
