The Shape of Protocols to Come

Ethereum defies easy categorization—it blends aspects of money, nations, and more, yet doesn't fit neatly into any single category. To build better mental models for understanding Ethereum, we've spent the past two years stepping back and exploring the broader class it belongs to: Protocols. This talk explores the fundamental properties of protocols, strategies for navigating them, and how Ethereum can uniquely contribute to this emerging research field.

[CLS] Ethereum Magicians Infinite Endgames: Block construction

Once again, Devcon will host Ethereum Magicians gatherings for the community to come together and discuss the most important topics in Ethereum’s roadmap. Join us here to discuss the “infinite endgame” for block construction. We'll cover PBS, MEV, role of validators vs. builders, centralization risks, and more!

[CLS] Ethereum Magicians Infinite Endgames: Ethereum Execution

A fishbowl-style discussion with core Ethereum contributors and community to publicly discuss the "endgame" of execution on Ethereum. We will discuss what the evolution of Ethereum’s execution layer will look like, L1 vs. L2, settlement vs. execution, enshrined rollups, consensus changes vs. client performance improvements, etc.

Funding ETH 1.x With Network Upgrade Sponsors

In this lightning talk, we will propose an auction mechanism to sponsor Ethereum Network Upgrades and use the proceeds to fund Ethereum 1.x initiatives. The talk will (quickly!) go over the proposed auction scheme, distribution of funds, and common objections to & potential pitfalls of this model.

Hardening the Commons

A hands-on workshop for those interested in strengthening the capture resistance and general survivability of commons under their stewardship. This session will be a sequence of guided small group discussions that will flesh out the levels of a <b>capability maturity model</b> for how a commons resource, whether it is a blockchain or a city, can be gradually "hardened" by developing and maturing capabilities at material, philosophical, skill, social, and mission levels.

Panel

Ethereum Real World Economy

Ethereum’s role as universal settlement layer is growing fast. Tradfi companies like Stripe are building on-chain, while native projects like Polymarket are increasingly impactful in the real world. This panel will debate the future of “Real-World Ethereum”. What does that mean? How do we maximize growth opportunities while avoiding capture? What can we learn from history? How do we best compete, and how do we ensure Ethereum values as we power more and more of the world outside crypto?

Trains, Planes and Network Upgrades: A Regular Release Cadence

How does an Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) get deployed onto the Ethereum mainnet? At times it feels like an ‘80s buddy comedy, but as part of the Ethereum 1.x initiative, the process should become as predictable as a clock. In this talk, we will propose a regularly scheduled process modeled after Linux distributions and the Java platform that Ethereum could use for its future network upgrades. Frequent and regular network upgrades will remove the time pressure to submit and review EIPs, provide predictability to applications building on Ethereum and reduce the burden on core developers to begin implementing improvements that are not ready. Once a network upgrade leaves the station, another one will be coming right around the corner!

[CLS] Ethereum Magicians Infinite Endgames: UX

UX has been at the forefront of Ethereum recently, as standards for Account and Chain Abstraction have been gaining significant traction in the space. Join us (literally! This panel will be “fishbowl style”) as we discuss the challenges that we will need to figure out first, such as cross-L2 key management, asset handling and transactions; avoiding fragmentation (liquidity, network, users); coordinating standards across L2s and wallets; and more
