A city isn't its buildings, it's a social system. Ethereum isn't its technology, it's a social system. In this workshop, participants will explore practical approaches for building ecosystems that grow, adapt, and endure.

A year ago post quantum transaction signatures for Ethereum were largely a theoretical exercise. Since then the conversation has shifted toward concrete engineering clearer requirements and realistic deployment paths. This talk presents a one year check in on what changed what assumptions broke and what now looks shippable. A central outcome is the role of Account Abstraction AA as the enabling layer for post quantum signing both today via non native AA and as the long term destination via native AA. This dual path allows real world experimentation now while converging toward protocol level support.

AI Agents are rapidly becoming the best interface for using smart contracts, replacing the previous model website dapps. Self-sovereign AI agents can be safer, more censorship resistant, and provide a vastly superior user experience. This is the way.

The fintech era is shifting from the interface layer to the "workflow economy." As AI evolves from simple assistants into execution engines, competitive advantage now lives at the kernel. Michael Wu, Co-Founder & CEO of Amber Group, outlines a four-layer model for this new architecture. Discover how the intersection of digital assets and agentic automation is moving the industry toward a foundational stack where trust is architecture and orchestration is the strategic moat.

This talk opens a conversation on 2 execution client level changes: 1. Validators signal how much of their staking rewards they are willing to re-allocate to Ethereum growth and security 2. Validators indicate recipient contracts that receive funds

Directly arithmetizing the EVM is hard, and even harder to maintain ... Or is it ? In this talk I will explain how our zk-EVM underwent massive changes, from speed running the London -> Osaka hard forks, switching fields to parallelizing the tracer.

Ziren is a MIPS ISA based zkVM and is the first zkVM to prove Geth without any modification to Golang compiler. why: We works on the client diversity with zkEVM's ISA and prover diversity.

The Ethereum blockchain is the product of all community contribution, or at least that is the theory. The reality is that getting an EIP included is a long and frustrating journey. I want to share my experience, trying and failling on this endeavour.

Asynchronous/delayed execution is a possible future for Ethereum to unlock massive blockchain throughput. It is already live on Monad and delivers the promised performance. But it also has deep impact on apps, users, and blockchain design.

Most of Ethereum's state is dead weight. A decade of mainnet data shows that most storage slots get written once and never touched again, and a handful of contracts account for the bulk of state growth. This talk digs into who uses state, how, and what the actual access patterns look like. The data tells a clear story, and it should change how we think about protocol design.

This talk will review Ethereum's proof of stake era, focusing on data and anecdotal evidence of the chain's decentralisation or centralisation, followed by a forward look on what the core protocol dev community can do to improve the chain's outlook.
