Event: Devcon
Date: Jul 2026
This panel with Yoav Weiss and Fredrik (Ethereum Foundation, Researchers), Bartek Kiepuszewski (L2BEAT, Founder), Peter Watts (Relay, Co-Founder & CEO) and Hart Lambur (Across Protocol, Co-Founder) compares the trust models behind leading interoperability designs, including the Ethereum Interop Layer, relayer-based bridge architectures, and intent or solver networks. This discussion asks a simple question: who do you actually need to trust when you bridge or execute a cross-chain action? Representatives from several leading approaches will explore how their systems work in practice, what risks users inherit, and what true trustlessness requires.
Talk given during day 2 of the trustless:// conference at Devconnect Argentina 2025
