Why we come collectively
Each two years, the Ethereum group comes collectively at Devcon to collaborate and construct towards a extra holistic, reliable, democratic, and decentralized future. Devcon isn’t about hype or hypothesis; it’s about making a extra free and open society the place know-how enhances human potential and aligns with our core values.
For 4 days, builders, group leaders, and changemakers step out of their silos and collect in a single place to share information, align on Ethereum’s future course, and study from one another. After Devcon, we scatter again into our decentralized lives, however the momentum we create energizes us to maintain constructing.
What to anticipate at Devcon
Devcon is one huge occasion happening in a single venue for 4 days in Bangkok, Thailand from November 12-15 2024. Devcon is totally different from Devconnect, the second occasion we’re organizing.
The Devcon Week calendar options instructional occasions earlier than and after Devcon. We encourage organizers to plan round the principle Devcon schedule, as we won’t be itemizing occasions that happen throughout Devcon days to maintain Devcon the principle schelling level.
Audio system
This 12 months, Devcon acquired practically 3,000 speaker functions, doubling the quantity from Devcon VI.
Some highlighted audio system embody:
Vitalik Buterin (Co-founder of Ethereum): Exploring essentially the most related subjects on the intersection of know-how and society.Aya Miyaguchi (Govt Director of the Ethereum Basis): Sharing her imaginative and prescient for Ethereum’s ecosystem progress and the Infinite Backyard.Roger Dingledine (Co-founder of The Tor Venture): Sharing classes realized from the Tor group, privacy-by-design, and the cypherpunk ethos.Bruno Maçães (thinker, journalist, politician, and creator): Inspecting how know-how is remodeling geopolitics, the place states and nice powers compete to create and management new world techniques.Hart Montgomery (CTO of the Linux Basis): Providing insights into open-source undertaking buildings and group constructing.Gubsheep (Co-founder of 0xPARC): Exploring programmable cryptography and its affect on dApps and the creation of completely new digital worlds.
Uncover extra audio system right here.
These mini-events inside Devcon foster interdisciplinary discussions on subjects that matter each to Ethereum and society by bringing collectively consultants from various fields. Some key classes are:
d/acc Discovery Day: Led by Vitalik Buterin, Vincent Weisser and others, this session explores the d/acc (defensive accelerationism) imaginative and prescient and the way we should always give attention to decentralization and defensive applied sciences to create a resilient future.
MUD: Autonomous Worlds & Onchain Video games: Organized by 0xPARC, and Lattice, for these eager about autonomous worlds, onchain video games, and different advanced Ethereum functions.
Growing on Ethereum: BuidlGuidl will provide hands-on classes for each newbie and superior builders to construct decentralized functions and write good contracts. You’ll develop sensible abilities, obtain mentorship, and community with different builders.
Programmable Cryptography: 0xPARC and others will showcase how second-generation cryptographic primitives equivalent to zero-knowledge proofs, multi-party computation, and totally homomorphic encryption lay the inspiration for a extra good web.
Formal Verification Hangout: Casual discussions on the safety and reliability of good contracts and software program techniques, permitting researchers and builders to attach.
If you happen to’re seeking to manage and lead discussions at Devcon, the Dialogue Corners are good for diving into subjects round Ethereum. Reservations for time in Dialogue Corners will open to everybody shortly earlier than Devcon.
Neighborhood Hubs are areas, organized by the group, for deep dives into particular Ethereum-related subjects and to satisfy individuals working in particular Ethereum-related fields. Listed below are the featured Neighborhood Hubs:
Account Abstraction Hub: Targeted on bettering consumer onboarding whereas staying true to decentralization. Talk about learn how to advance the Account Abstraction ecosystem, from SDKs and wallets to protocol requirements like ERC-4337.Adoption Hub: An area for designers, researchers, and entrepreneurs to collaborate on web3 adoption methods, with a give attention to bettering UX and belief.Collective Intelligence Governance Hub: Specialists from main DAOs focus on challenges and improvements in DAO governance design, delegation, accountability, and funding, utilizing collective intelligence to enhance DAO governance.Neighborhood Gardeners Hub: A gathering place for group builders to attach, share world Ethereum initiatives, and discover methods for efficient group progress.Onchain Creators Hub: An area to discover onchain creativity, financial fashions, and instruments for accelerating Ethereum’s mainstream adoption.Ethereum SEA Hub: Celebrates Southeast Asia’s Ethereum communities, showcasing native initiatives and fostering cross-collaboration.GM Hub: Highlights web3 improvements from underrepresented areas, with a give attention to Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Interact in cross-cultural discussions on blockchain’s real-world affect.Grants & Affect Hub: A hub for grant applications, researchers, and builders centered on sustainable Ethereum initiatives, providing workshops on optimizing grant proposals and measuring affect.Hacktivism Hub: Discover Ethereum’s cypherpunk values and the way blockchain can tackle privateness, censorship, and human rights, with hands-on discussions and workshops.Dwelling Operators Hub: A help area for dwelling node operators and validators and people who wish to turn out to be one, providing one-on-one troubleshooting and workshops on working nodes with lower than 32 ETH and decentralizing Ethereum additional.Regen Hub: A hub centered on regenerative initiatives and sustainability inside Ethereum, discussing native empowerment and world initiatives.Sustaining Open-Supply Growth Hub: An area to discover open-source enterprise fashions and uncover methods to maintain open-source public items inside the ecosystem.The World of DeSci Hub: Focuses on decentralized science and the way web3 applied sciences are reshaping the scientific panorama, turning science right into a public good.Girls in Web3 World (W3): An inclusive area for girls and allies to community, study, and focus on variety and inclusion in Ethereum by means of workshops and hearth chats.
Hacker Cave
On the lookout for a devoted area to check new tech and construct? The Hacker Cave is provided with cozy seating, neon cyberpunk lighting, and luxurious hanging crops. This area may have you in the fitting mindset to hack on new concepts.
Music & Artwork Area
