The Next Evolution of Web3 Wallets
Metamask’s aim is to empower the web3 ecosystem to create useful and usable applications for users. We have led the way thus far by being a web3 connector and a wallet that serves different types of user groups, and hence juggle their different needs. We are at a critical turning point, where we believe a one-size-fits-all solution is not the answer. We are looking forward to make Metamask modular, more secure, and extensible that dapp builders can use for the specific needs of their end users. We’ll do this with the help of new Metamask APIs, which will empower the developer community to build creative solutions that inherently integrate with Metamask. In this workshop, we will share developer beta version of Metamask APIs! What you can expect from this workshop: - You’ll learn about some new APIs the MetaMask team has been working on. - You'll learn how to use these APIs to enhance your products’ functionality and UX. - We'll bring a few working demos, and facilitate a brainstorm on how these features could help your users, and how we can improve them for you. - Build a simple application that is made possible with these new APIs.
Farcaster frames: building embeddable Ethereum apps
Frames are an open standard for creating embeddable, interactive apps in social media feeds and on the web. They help solve one of the hardest problems for Ethereum dapp developers: distribution. Although frames originated on Farcaster, it's now possible to build cross-platform frames that work on Farcaster, Lens, XMTP, and the open web. In this hands on workshop we'll introduce the core concepts behind frames and build a simple frame app that interacts with a smart contract.

Casper the Friendly GHOST: A correct-by-construction blockchain
Vlad Zamfir presents their talk titled, "Casper the Friendly GHOST: A correct-by-construction blockchain"
Introduction to Snarks
Blockchains are a hostile world were all information is public and computations are expensive. A technology called zkSNARKs is coming to the rescue: It allows both a tremendous speedup in verifying the correctness of a computation while at the same time it hides the private details from prying eyes. This talk tries to give an idea about how and why it works.
Missing Links in the Ethereum Stack
Observations about what developer tools missing from the Ethereum stack, yet currently available to traditional web developers.
