Ethereum can benefit from the hardware-based guarantees of TEEs, but community skepticism could be hindering its adoption. TEEs have real-world impact today and will bring about more practical applications with trusted hardware at its core.

This talk explores trust economics solvers and users in blockchain systems, addressing opacity, centralization risks, and profit margins. Solutions include standardized interfaces, reputation systems, and mechanisms that return value to users

A persuasive talk on the benefits of Based Rollups.

I'll talk about Indistinguishable Ofuscation and an universa ofuscated VM. I'll talk about the applications that this tech unlocks. I'll also give an state of the art of the progress of this tech.

Incubated at MIT and backed by 20 years of research, Muriel Médard presents Optimum—the first high-performance memory layer for the world computer. Leveraging RLNC, it transforms web3 data infrastructure with a complete memory bus and deRAM solution.

Coinbase is releasing a new open-source library for MPC/threshold signing, based on Coinbase’s MPC engine used in production to protect cryptoassets. In this presentation, we describe the library and how to use it to deploy MPC quickly and securely.

The story of how years of innovation drove MPC from a theoretical, unproven, slow and clunky technology to a fast, widely used technology en masse. Will focus specifically on how a new protocol is changing the landscape and taking MPC to the global stage and internet scale.

We will outline what service blobs provide to L2 user transactions and L2 sequencers before diving into the mechanics of how blobs are gossiped, included, and verified by builders, proposers, and attesters before and after PeerDAS.

This talk will dive into Nethermind’s Surge rollup and its role in supercharging Ethereum’s rollup roadmap. We’ll explore how Surge is driving innovations in based rollups, unpacking developments in security, performance, and decentralisation.

With the advent of based sequencing and preconfs, validators will participate in commitments beyond what they do today. We explore utilizing the validator private keys as non-slashable capital to bootstrap out-of-protocol services directly on the L1.

You can pay for builders to come build, you can pay for liquidity, you can pay for volume, wallet addresses and TVL: but your retention once people have made their bag is terrible. Here's how to fix it.

Practical advice on operating a crypto startup like a business and growing it for long term success.

zkEVMs can scale Ethereum L1 to 1 Ggas/s
