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 data, align on Ethereum’s future route, 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 going down in a single venue for 4 days in Bangkok, Thailand from November 12-15 2024. Devcon is completely 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 primary Devcon schedule, as we is not going to be itemizing occasions that happen throughout Devcon days to maintain Devcon the primary schelling level.
Audio system
This yr, Devcon acquired practically 3,000 speaker purposes, doubling the quantity from Devcon VI.
Some highlighted audio system embrace:
Vitalik Buterin (Co-founder of Ethereum): Exploring probably the most related matters on the intersection of know-how and society.Aya Miyaguchi (Government 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 Undertaking): Sharing classes realized from the Tor group, privacy-by-design, and the cypherpunk ethos.Bruno Maçães (thinker, journalist, politician, and writer): 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 influence on dApps and the creation of totally new digital worlds.

These mini-events inside Devcon foster interdisciplinary discussions on matters that matter each to Ethereum and society by bringing collectively consultants from various fields. Some key periods 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 must 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 taken with autonomous worlds, onchain video games, and different advanced Ethereum purposes.
Creating on Ethereum: BuidlGuidl will provide hands-on periods for each newbie and superior builders to construct decentralized purposes and write sensible contracts. You’ll develop sensible expertise, obtain mentorship, and community with different builders.
Programmable Cryptography: 0xPARC and others will showcase how second-generation cryptographic primitives comparable to zero-knowledge proofs, multi-party computation, and totally homomorphic encryption lay the muse for a extra good web.
Formal Verification Hangout: Casual discussions on the safety and reliability of sensible contracts and software program techniques, permitting researchers and builders to attach.
Should you’re trying to manage and lead discussions at Devcon, the Dialogue Corners are good for diving into matters round Ethereum. Reservations for time in Dialogue Corners will open to everybody shortly earlier than Devcon.
Group Hubs are areas, organized by the group, for deep dives into particular Ethereum-related matters and to satisfy folks working in particular Ethereum-related fields. Listed here are the featured Group Hubs:
Account Abstraction Hub: Targeted on enhancing consumer onboarding whereas staying true to decentralization.
