Keynote: Make Ethereum Cypherpunk Again: Why we need privacy

The Web3 revolution seeks to address the sins of Web2. However, in doing so, it’s created an even worse outcome for users - users’ data is publicly available and makes them vulnerable to state-level censorship and adverse actions. This talk will address the philosophical as well as practical considerations of privacy in Web3. Privacy is an industry-wide issue and sits at the heart of all that is Web3. Understanding why privacy matters involves recognizing that it is not an isolated concept bu

Lunarpunk Endgame

Global surveillance is a static world where change is surpressed and society cannot evolve. In contrast, an anonymity-enhanced world resembles a forest. New civilizational experiments blossom like flowers, radiating outward from the freedom-fighters of the future. The lunarpunk end game is to enable a new ecology of social orders. This talk will describe the grand vision of lunarpunk: multipolar space-faring civilization, human speciation, and the reproduction life throughout the cosmos.

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.

Tending the Infinite Garden: Organizational Culture in the Ethereum Ecosystem

This presentation will discuss the findings of the academic paper "Tending the Infinite Garden: Organisational Culture in the Ethereum Ecosystem" by Dr. Paul-Dylan-Ennis and Ann Brody. Our study examines the decision-making processes fundamental to Ethereum's protocol governance, drawing on interviews with Ethereum's core developers. We identify a central worldview in Ethereum known as the "Infinite Garden" and discuss how Ethereum's social layer is crucial for upholding cypherpunk values.

Keynote: Lessons learned from Tor

I will share lessons learned during Tor's twenty years as free software fighting for privacy and human rights. We'll talk about distributed trust and privacy by design, how to help people understand the good uses of your tech, getting allies in both cypherpunks and government, why transparency and community-building are so essential to trust, and successes from other spaces. It may seem like the crypto wars never really end, but we all have a part to play in saving the world.

Keynote: Glass Houses and Tornados

The Tornado Cash sanctions and criminal prosecutions have challenged longstanding assumptions within crypto about the limits of money transmission licensing, money laundering statutes, and sanctions laws. They've also revealed a longstanding assumption from some in policy and law enforcement circles: that blockchains have always been and must remain transparent. Neither assumption has served us well and the time has come for legal certainty. This talk is about how we get there.

Keynote: How to Properly Open Source Software: Lessons Learned from the Linux Foundation

It can be challenging to properly open source software: there are licenses, IP, security reporting, and many other issues that need to be addressed. In this talk, we will discuss the best practices for open source software development learned from almost 25 years of experience at the Linux Foundation. Attendees will learn about how to set up their projects for a variety of potential goals, including things like maximizing security and community building.

Ethereum Culture Expanding in the Infinite Garden

As a designer at the EF for the past 5 years, I’ve witnessed the unique culture of Ethereum and its growth. My talk aims to illuminate the vast cultural landscape of our ecosystem such as Cypherpunk, Regen, Degen, and L2s as subculture. I'm hoping to assist ecosystem participants, especially new comers, in becoming the infinite game players in the Infinite Garden.

DarkFi kills glowies: intro to the world's first anon DAO, anon markets, anon chat, the coming RegFi vs DarkFi split, the dark forest and secure freedom for sovereign society.

The FBI director gave a speech on the "Going Dark problem" saying that mass usage of crypto threatens to create dark zones online where law enforcement cannot enter. DarkFi created the world's first anon DAO, after our experience on AssangeDAO which raised 55 million and bankrolled Assange's freedom. We have also made the world's strongest anon chat, and the only p2p chat which is actually used. As well as task managers and anon markets. DarkFi delivers. Fight back and lets gain our freedom!
