Devcon is back! | Ethereum Foundation Blog

DevCon 1 is scheduled to take place in London from November 9-13, just over 100 days after the Ethereum network launched. Over the past few months, we have seen the network grow from hundreds of nodes launched on an exciting and special night to a very real, globally distributed and stable platform with thousands of developers driving the decentralization revolution that motivates and inspires us. .

DevCon has three main topic categories:

• Basic study and core protocols: It includes proof-of-stake, scalability, networking protocols, privacy and zero-knowledge proofs, as well as more mathematical aspects of decentralized protocols such as stablecoins, prediction markets and reputation systems. This part will be structured in some ways similar to an academic conference. cryptoeconomics.
• Dapp development: It focuses on effective design patterns and practical challenges of developing applications on the Ethereum platform to optimize security, efficiency, developer time, and user experience. This part is designed similarly to programming language developer conventions. http://nodejsconf.it/
• Industry and social impact: Includes IoT, finance, government, supply chain tracking, notarization, identity and reputation. This part will be of interest to industry and mainstream audiences, especially those outside the Ethereum ecosystem who come with the goal of understanding what the features are and how projects can benefit from using the technology, as well as other stakeholders such as: It will be designed to attract. As policy makers and investors.

The conference will be held in London over five days from November 9th to 13th. gibson hall. The first half of the week will focus on research and Dapp development, while the second half will focus on industry and societal impact. We will also discuss how the platform will continue to evolve after launch and the future direction of the Foundation as an organization. We hope that over the course of this week, we will be able to develop the understanding and make the connections needed to make the most of the opportunities that Ethereum offers.

There will be keynotes from several of the key development teams, giving updates on progress and some exciting new projects, and we’ll try to livestream the event as much as possible so those who can’t attend can still participate.

One of the features of this week is a focus on community-produced dapps. It’s a showcase, if you will, of all the great things happening on the Ethereum platform. Expect conversations where the development team will share what they’ve learned, as well as detailed conversations about new businesses and business models supported by the Ethereum platform. If you think you have something to share, please feel free to contact us. info@ethereum.org.

The website will be live soon. http://devcon.ethereum.org We will add details on pricing, agenda, sponsorship, etc. as information becomes available.
