[16:00 - 16:25 ] Build and permanently deploy decentralized frontends to Arweave [Developer DAO track] by Dhaiwat PandyaThere is a severe lack of awareness around the centralization issues around web3 frontends and the decentralized options available out there. It is extremely important for everyone involved in web3 to care about permanent and censorship-resistant frontends so that our 'dapps' aren't just centralized servers at the mercy of companies like AWS.
Permanent frontends address one of the most important problems around crypto - security. Once you deploy a frontend to Arweave, the webpage served by that link will always stay the same. It can never change, it will never change. No more domains getting hacked or anything like that. You can even link your ENS to your Arweave deployments, adding one more layer of security to your dapp to make sure your users don't get phished.

[10:30 - 10:55 ] How and why we democratize access to the decentralized web. [track1] by Francesco AndreoliThe ad-based internet is broken.
The web 2.0 status quo was built at a time when the internet lacked a transactional layer. It was very difficult to monetize, so people and their data became the product.
Disparate, centralized services meant that users had to remember hundreds of passwords to hundreds of platforms that were regularly being hacked and leaking data.

[12:00 - 12:25 ] Upgradeability (in)security: how to detect vulnerabilities in proxies [track2] by Arseniy ReutovOne of the core properties of the blockchain is its immutability, which means that nobody can alter or forge the previous transactions. However not every smart contract has immutable code. A common practice is to use a proxy pattern to upgrade the contract logic via migrating to a new implementation contract. When upgrading an implementation one should be extremely careful otherwise a smallest mistake may cause serious consequences exemplified by Open Zeppelin, Wormhole and Audius bugs. In this report we will study the principles of proxy patterns, their common pitfalls and will learn to how to detect proxy storage collisions and more.
About Speakers:Arseniy Reutov:
[14:00 - 14:25 ] Flash Oracles - a novel way of delivering data to EVM without touching the storage. [track2] by Marcin KazmierczakNew DeFi & Web3 projects require diversified data delivered at a higher frequency to get an edge over competitors. However, the biggest bottleneck for Oracles is the high storage costs of EVM which hinder scalability.
To solve that problem, RedStone provides data based on meta transactions and layer-2 Arweave storage, supporting thousands of data feeds delivered at a few seconds refresh interval. We will discuss the benefits and limitations of such a design and showcase live integrations.

The web 2.0 status quo was built at a time when the internet lacked a transactional layer. It was very difficult to monetize, so people and their data became the product. Disparate, centralized services meant that users had to remember hundreds of passwords to hundreds of platforms that were regularly being hacked and leaking data.

Neon EVM has been being built since December 2020. The team of Neon Labs Ltd overcame a lot of technical hurdles and found a lot of technical tricks to unite Ethereum world with Solana’s. The results of the work done and some of the technical solutions being implemeted will be presented by Marina Guryeva, co-founder and director of Neon Labs Ltd.
Marina Guryeva: CEO of NeonLabs
The talk aims to cover the following topics:
→ Why Web3 Developers Need APIs → Purpose-built APIs: NFT API, Query API, and Token API → Interoperability, multichain, and utility use-cases

Mixin Network is an open-source, lightning-fast, and decentralized W3 platform to bring speed and scalability to the blockchain. In this workshop you will learn how to add Mixin payment to your apps.
The Merge causes massive crypto market transformation. To help yesterday’s miners to survive and gain similar margins, new approaches are needed. Bridging Mining and DeFi through understandable algorithms opens synergetic opportunities for both sides. We want to propose new building blocks to rebuild mining industry.
Vlad Protasevich: Founder @ Ezil, software developer.
One of the core properties of the blockchain is its immutability, which means that nobody can alter or forge the previous transactions. However not every smart contract has immutable code. A common practice is to use a proxy pattern to upgrade the contract logic via migrating to a new implementation contract. When upgrading an implementation one should be extremely careful otherwise a smallest mistake may cause serious consequences exemplified by Open Zeppelin, Wormhole and Audius bugs. In this report we will study the principles of proxy patterns, their common pitfalls and will learn to how to detect proxy storage collisions and more.
Arseniy Reutov:
New DeFi & Web3 projects require diversified data delivered at a higher frequency to get an edge over competitors. However, the biggest bottleneck for Oracles is the high storage costs of EVM which hinder scalability.
To solve that problem, RedStone provides data based on meta transactions and layer-2 Arweave storage, supporting thousands of data feeds delivered at a few seconds refresh interval. We will discuss the benefits and limitations of such a design and showcase live integrations.

One often overlooked aspect of mass adoption of Web3 is thinking about the most crucial aspect of your dApp: The User. Security and Decentralization are core parts of retaining users, however, the experience of using an application is what will draw them in. In this talk, we'll go over how a good user Experience can be enhanced from every part of the stack: Smart Contracts, Servers, Infra, and Front end. We will touch on how UX optimization begins on the smart contract level, is enhanced with services like relayers, and tying it all together with tools and techniques to help you fetch and make blockchain data available for your users and update them so they understand what's going on with the application currently connected to their wallet and ultimately achieving their goal for utilizing your application in an effective, clear, and enjoyable way.

Web3 is becoming the future of the new internet era, and blockchain is definitely the core technology contributing to the development of Web3. Mixin, as an established open-source public chain, which allows blockchains to gain millions of TPS, sub-second final confirmation, zero transaction fee, enhanced privacy and unlimited extensibility will surely be the solid infrastructure for a decentralized metaverse.

Tenderize is taking a radically new and innovative approach to liquid staking. Our goal is to provide a liquid staking experience as if it were native to the underlying protocol, or as close as possible.
Web3 is made possible by the node operators that run the infrastructure and their delegators. We believe a liquid staking solution should treat them as first-class citizens. Node operators (and their delegators) that actually operate web3 infrastructure and make these networks possible should be able to tokenize their stake and enjoy the benefits of liquid staking without interference to their existing workflows.
