Keynote: Redefining boundaries in the Infinite Garden
Aya Miyaguchi, Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, opens Devcon by emphasizing the importance of nurturing Ethereum as an infinite garden—a decentralized, long-term ecosystem built on shared values, overlapping spheres of influence, and collaborative growth beyond singular control.
Keynote: Programmable Cryptography and Ethereum
Programmable Cryptography is a "second generation" of cryptographic primitives - primitives that allow arbitrary programs to be executed "inside of" or "on top of" cryptographic objects. Programmable cryptography provides three key affordances that complement and amplify the affordances of Ethereum--verifiability, confidentiality, and non-interactivity. We'll discuss how these technologies can reshape the Internet over the next 50 years.

Devcon 6 Recap and closing ceremonies featuring Aya Miyaguchi, Natalia Madrid-Malo Latorre & Skylar Weaver
Keynote: The Universal Cryptographic Adapter
The "secret" third affordance of Zero-Knowledge proof after 1) Privacy and 2) Succinctness is Interoperability. ZK enables us to continuously refactor data, aggregate it from different sources, and transforming it without loosing its integrity. Starting with the Zupass project, and now with the broader adoption of the POD and GPC format, 0xPARC has been exploring using ZK for data sovereignty and creating more interoperable data ecosystem. We will cover our learnings and progress in this talk.
[CLS] Programmable Cryptography
The Programmable Cryptography CLS hosts a series of talks exploring how advanced cryptography can reshape digital infrastructure beyond blockchain and trust infrastructure. SCHEDULE: 10:00–10:20 AM, Justin Glibert / 10:20–10:45 AM, Vitalik Buterin / 10:45–11:10 AM, Albert Ni / 11:10–11:35 AM, Barry Whitehat / 11:35 AM–12:00 PM gubsheep

Devcon 6 Opening Ceremonies
Opening Ceremony
Don’t miss the Devcon Opening Ceremony, where we’ll set the stage for an incredible event ahead, with talks from Vitalik Buterin (Founder of Ethereum), Aya Miyaguchi (Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation), Josh Stark (Ethereum Foundation Leadership), Skylar Weaver (Devcon Team Lead), and more surprise guests.
Programmable Cryptography and the future of the Internet
You rarely hear of issues at the networking layer of the Internet: networking companies are running utilities business: they are fungible and can be swapped if distrusted. Most of the value captured on the Internet -- and also most abuse -- happen at the Compute and Data layer of the Web. Ethereum gave us a glimpse of a fundamentally different architecture for Compute and Data than Client/Server architecture.We think the Internet is 1/3 complete, and that programmable cryptography can finish it.
How To Hallucinate A Server
A Hallucinated Server is a virtual server whose execution is cryptographically simulated by users, using "multiplayer" privacy technologies like multi-party computation or fully homomorphic encryption. Today, thanks to recent advancements in MPC and FHE, we have the technology to build the first fully Turing-complete hallucinated servers. We discuss the underlying technologies, and how we've used them to build several proof-of-concept applications.
