ZK-rollups scale Ethereum but incur steep proving and gas fees. We propose a constraints-based model unifying TPS and finality to reduce overhead. Using the Z3 solver, we reveal cost-optimal solutions validated by real benchmarks.

In this talk, we will introduce The Zama Protocol, which brings confidentiality to smart contracts across any L1 or L2.

In-depth look at current trends, opportunities, and challenges in crypto M&A. Drawing from real-world transactions and extensive industry experience, Jan-Philip will illustrate how M&A is shaping the future of the crypto industry.

This talk explores the macroeconomic challenges facing Ethereum, with a focus on the dynamics of staking, inflation, and governance centralization by leveraging a "stock and flow" macroeconomic model inspired by dynamical systems theory.

Crypto apps are evolving fast. 30+ Apps No Entrees episodes reveal a pattern: the biggest wins blend social + finance beyond trading. Better infra, memecoin lessons, and AI tools fuel this shift. We'll break down what's working and what's next.

Kadena’s blockchain scalability with native parallel EVM chains and processing. Unlike rollups, this eliminates bottlenecks, reduces gas fees, and enhances security; empowering developers to build the next generation high-performance dApps.

Ethereum’s endgame has been mapped: validity proofs everywhere, fast DA, and minimal L1s. This talk explores how radically new base layers that verify rather than execute are already delivering this roadmap, and how Ethereum can benefit.

This talk explores zkStaking, a novel approach that integrates zero-knowledge proofs into staking mechanisms. We will discuss how zkStaking enhances security, privacy, and decentralization while maintaining transparency and efficiency in blockchain.

In Web3, trust is crucial for mass adoption. The industry is plagued by rug pulls and overhyped projects with no real product. Trust cannot be bought, it must be proven. I'll explain what Web3 GTM strategies can replace outdated and compromised ones.

Web3 products often start from technical possibilities, but adoption depends on experience. This talk explores how UX enables adoption by transforming blockchain capabilities into usable, valuable products.

An actionable guide for crypto founders on using Farcaster to drive user growth and brand awareness. Learn how to leverage Frames and the developer ecosystem to create viral loops and effectively market to crypto-native users.

I want to shed more light on the Holesky incident that occured when updating the testnet to Pectra

Between the execution and consensus layers, the Portal Network, and forward-looking DAS research, we use and study a wide spectrum of P2P protocols. This talk aims to provide an overview of the protocol landscape and its role in Ethereum scalability.

The most important stability improvement that Ethereum needs, and one that we hardly talk about, is censorship resistance. Let's discuss the current problems and practical ways to reinforce it.
