The tracks.

This year, each day of the conference will cover 13 specific tracks — including a ✨surprise track ✨on the first day.

I know you’re just dying to know what they are, so without further ado, EthCC[7]’s daily tracks:

July 8

  • Decentralised Finance: Finance, but open, decentralised, permissionless and autonomous.
  • EthCC Mashup: Don’t know where you fit? here’s for you, misfit.
  • Security: don’t get hacked, don’t get break things, if it’s broken, how do you fix it? Protect the end users and detect the abusers.

July 9

  • Blockchain for Good: Heal the world, make it a better place. For you and for me and for the entire human race. There are people dying, if you care enough for the living, make a better place for you and for me.
  • Onboarding, Wallets & Abstraction: Mass adoption enablers. Blockchain wallets — but kid tested, grandmother approved.
  • Enterprise & Regulation: Pay your taxes and don’t go to jail. Blockchain for suits who are too cool for school.

July 10

  • Rollups & Scaling Solutions: they see us rollin’, they lovin’. Road to 1 billion+ transactions per second.
  • Gaming & Autonomous World: Games — but open, decentralised, permissionless and autonomous.
  • Culture & NFTs: overpriced jpegs and a cypherpunk attitude.
  • Token Engineering (Curated by TE Academy): groundbreaking novel Web3 business models and their underlying token incentive mechanisms; token-based selection, ranking and voting mechanisms; cutting-edge advancements in verification and optimisation techniques; the development of tools, data analytics and AI in token engineering, tokenomics, token design and cryptoeconomics.

July 11

  • Developer Tools: Buidl better, deploy faster, monitor stronger.
  • ZK Tech & Privacy: 0x8b4b125cf741dced35d682450239a1ea294029420b729929e989426d21bdf05a.
  • Core Protocol & Research: Things that may impact the Yellow Paper or discuss its content.

A small note to speakers: You must apply for a specific track, so please be sure you’re available to speak on the day of said track. We will not move the daily programme tracks around to accommodate speaker schedules 😉

The post-event survey winners.

We truly appreciate those of you who took the time to fill out our post-EthCC[6] feedback survey — your input is invaluable to us and we use it to bring you even better editions of EthCC in the future.

As promised, and as a token of our appreciation, we have randomly drawn two survey participant names to win the first two tickets to EthCC[7]!

We will contact both winners shortly with a code for their FREE EthCC[7] tickets 🥳

We have lots of exciting things to announce in the weeks ahead, and we’re really looking forward to the community gathering in Brussels again this July!
