Agenda

Welcome to DappCon 23

Through a live demonstration, we will illustrate how to use only web3-native technologies to build our solutions; prevent capture through natural collaboration and sharded data; leverage the community to create ultra-low-cost, fair, and scalable outcomes; keep it simple for the end-user by pinning by default; and maintain the immutable nature of the data. Target group: Knowledge of how the node software works would be beneficial. General knowledge of Git and building GoLang software would be beneficial. Tools: GoLang. If they have access to a fast RPC endpoint, that would be very helpful.

What are the differences between intent-based architecture, composability, and aggregation? Could it be the next explosive trend after the DeFi summer? I will share the challenges faced and opportunities observed during the past three years of developing intent-based architecture.

The idOS is an open protocol for confidently storing, sharing and managing identity data and more. It's a collaborative chain-agnostic Fractal, NEAR, and other partners, launching in November this year. Come get a sneak peak and learn about the building blocks!

The talk introduces ComposeDB on Ceramic, a composable graph database built for Web3 app developers. It allows developers to create, distribute, and discover reusable data schemas for building decentralized applications. The core components include independent node operators, data composites as reusable pieces of data controlled by DIDs, and the ability to create commonly accepted data models.

Will give an overview on the intents landscape, in particular DeFi intents and why they are useful.

A workshop inviting DAO folks and governance nerds to discuss the importance of understanding their own governance needs, existing structures in the organization, recognition of contributor work through governance rights, and the threat of scammers and bots. Part of the workshop will be an explanation of how to customize the settings for an individual DAO on Snapshot through choosing Voting and Validation Strategies, defining quorum, shielded voting, and much more.

Gno.land, powered by Gnolang—an interpreted version of Golang, is a transparent, trust-minimized hub for code storage. As a smart-contracting platform with GitHub-like features, it offers a familiar, seamless experience for code sharing and interaction, promoting reusability and trust for timeless code.

Scaling needs us to think differently, not just with ZK or rollups, but towards fully autonomous contracts.

While many DAOs have invested sizable amounts of their treasuries into ETH staking, they often overlook the research, due diligence and risk monitoring that needs to be taken into account. At Avantgarde, we are one of the industry’s leading on-chain asset management and treasury management firms, working with a wide variety of DAOs including Nexus Mutual, Unslashed Finance and HumanDAO. In this talk, we’ll provide a highly practical and valuable overview of what needs to be considered before deploying an on-chain ETH staking strategy. This is a timely and relevant conversation as more and more DAOs seek to deploy on-chain treasury management strategies.

Ethereum is based on a decentralised security, such security sustained by validators can become even more decentralised through liquid staking. But sadly what we have seen so far is that liquid staking (and specially validating) is being concentrated around closed groups even within decentralised staking platforms. I'll explain how we have embraced a decentralised first approach by letting the community lead the path even before our decentralised validation/staking protocol has reached mainnet

In the wake of bank failures, the importance of responsible treasury management is clear now more than ever. Every DAO with a treasury should have a clear approach to its management to make sure the DAO can continue to fund its mandate. Let's dive in to the current state and how to improve governance processes, legal setups, portfolio strategy for DAO treasuries.

We will talk about what it means to be in crypto and consistently build value over multiple years without falling into temptation of using your users as exit liquidity. Using rotki as an example and going through its history, what it is and what lies in its future we will see how projects should be built following the crypto ethos to not have this sector associated with grifters and scammers

Learn how to extend the functionality of Accounts with the Safe{Core} Protocol by adding Modules to a Registry and enabling them. Target group: Developers who want to learn about the Safe{Core} Protocol. Basic JavaScript and Solidity knowledge is recommended. Tools: Git, Node.js

As an end user, you install your favorite Ethereum client, wait some hours/days to sync it, just to discover it is useless because it can't give you your transaction history and how much your portfolio spread over many addresses is worth it.That's a major disappointment for many users and it's wrong. Your node should provide that from start and not require you any extra effort.Worse, nowadays users end up using centralized, closed source services in other to get such basic information and giving up their privacy by revealing their addresses to third parties.This talk will show how we are solving that problem at infrastructure level by pushing that role into an Ethereum client.

I will talk about: Why Privacy is important What is proof of innocence Why it is important What is next things to build Why we should have decentralized allowlists What are privacy pools

A presentation about shared & decentralized sequencers as building blocks for modular blockchains. Specifically targeted at developers that want to learn more about trade-offs between different systems.

- Why the oracle problem is hard- Why project governance is terrifying- Why these things shouldn't be hard because the blockchain is just something we made up- How we can make a layer 2 with a layer 0

It's been widely and incorrectly assumed that creating an EVM-based rollup automatically translates to massive scalability improvements. The goal of the talk is to present the limitations of EVM-based rollups and what can be done to bypass the aforementioned limitations.

Crypto is paradigm shift enabling algorithmic control instead traditional human coordination. A compelling illustration of this evolution is the integration of gauges as an efficient mechanism for resource allocation in DeFi. This talk delves into the pivotal role of gauges in the DeFi landscape, highlighting their success as a bootstrapping and effective allocation mechanism.

Learn Noir in an afternoon or get your money back Target group: Solidity developers interested in learning about ZK Tools: A laptop with an IDE installed

By combining the computational proofs and data availability of zk Rollup, we can build a global system of private and public rollups, using Ethereum or Gnosis Chain as global settlement layer. In the talk I will talk about rollups, zk tech and its properties, zkEVM and challenges using it for private rollups/appchains, focusing on the decentralization aspects.

Coinvoting remains the prevalent governance system at large DAOs, despite its shortcomings. The talk will go through 2 essential challenges for DAOs: legitimacy and bureaucracy, and will present an array of alternative approaches inspired by traditional markets, and political & corporate governance systems.

Mostly practical lessons from DAO and governance failures, discovered through an interactive discussion with the audience. The goal is to break down issues from first principles to understand where we went wrong, what are DAOs good for, so we can think on how to rebuild them better in the bear market.
