​​Topics:

​Making Infrastructure Safe for Any Blockchain

​Even private chains can expose data — especially when hosted in external environments. Is infrastructure the bottleneck for adoption? Can we build scalable blockchain infrastructure in the cloud?

  • ​Peyman Momeni | Founder, Fairblock

  • ​Noah Pravecek | Director of Product, Matter Labs

​How Confidentiality Can Help Web2 Go DeFi

​Dark pools, private market makers, and protected order flows are ideal for Web2 players entering onchain finance. Neobanks, stock apps, DeFi, staking for real-world assets — the technology is almost ready. But is the demand real?

  • ​Mo | Institutional Privacy Lead, Ethereum Foundation

  • ​Amir Taaki | cryptographer & dev, DarkFi Squad

  • ​Melvis Langyintuo | Executive Director of the Canton Foundation

​Confidentiality for Payments

​Payments are the most anticipated — and most difficult — use case for confidentiality tech. Public blockchains are transparent and permissionless, while payments demand compliance and privacy. Can modern cryptography bridge the gap?

  • ​Andrey Sabelnikov | Zano project, Co-founder, aka the creator of CryptoNote technology (Monero)

  • ​Ais Connolly | Chief Strategy Officer, TACEO

  • Sebastian Bürgel | VP Technology, Gnosis; Founder, HOPR
