Gart is running an independent security audit for @BTC Prague, Europe's largest Bitcoin-only conference. Scope: a full audit of event security posture, plus a dedicated advisory track for speakers and VIP guests. We work directly with the organizing team and with the on-site security teams on the floor during the event. The audit covers every layer from the first checkpoint at the gate to the last car leaving the after-party: threat picture, access control, VIP flow, comms, incident protocols, escalation paths, rehearsals. Why this engagement exists: targeted attacks against publicly known crypto holders are no longer rare. Our dataset documents 75 physical attacks in 2025, climbing through 2026 (stats.gart.io). Conferences put many of the most publicly recognized, most doxxed figures in one venue, on a published schedule. That concentration is what makes the event work. It is also what creates a serious duty of care and BTC Prague completely owns it. We will not publish what we find or recommend. That, by design, is not something you share with the public.

4 attempted attacks on crypto holders. In 3 of 4, they showed up disguised as delivery drivers. All 4 times the attackers didn't get away with it. This is what dodging looks like in practice 🧵
