Ledger Op3n 2026 is coming.
Save the date: October 15.
This year AI started acting for you, inside software it can outsmart.
We're talking about how you stay in charge: what you verify, and where you verify it.

Our Saturday @CantonNetwork hackathon was FANTASTIC.
A 12-hour day that felt like 12-minutes, our 'Build on Canton' hackathon saw participants tackle some truly challenging tasks, speak directly with @CantonFdn Head @viv_diwakar, and get to grips with Daml, before culminating in one of the best pitch sessions we have ever seen.
One massive thank you to all participants, our university partners at Oxford, Cambridge, and Imperial College, and our event partners across @CantonArmy, @acme_markets, and @LunarStrategy.
We'll be sharing more insights and content from the event in the coming days, but for now, a few action shots...
We’re underway at 83 Rivington Street!
A huge thank you to our event partners at @acme_markets, @CantonArmy, @LunarStrategy, and our university partners from Oxford, Cambridge, and Imperial College.
Big day ahead!

We had the pleasure hosting @Ledger at Cambridge!
Massive thanks to @AntoineM_eth, @AWengroff, @car_cxs, Michael Louzado, Mirio Mella, Caroline Halpin, and the rest of the team for making it happen.
Keep an eye out for our next activation 👀
What happens when you put Ledger in a room full of Cambridge students who are concerned about their digital future and want to understand self-custody?
They don't just listen. They ask the hard questions.
This is what Ledger N3XT looks like in practice.

Two days at @Cambridge_Uni with Ledger N3XT.
800 years of tradition, dinners in halls older than most countries, and some of the sharpest blockchain conversations I've had all year.
Easily our best N3XT trip so far.

Last week @Ledger N3XT — our education program across college campuses — went to Cambridge. Honestly one of the most inspiring parts was just spending time with students who are thinking this deeply and rigorously about identity, ownership, AI, privacy, and the infrastructure being built underneath all of it.
800 years of academic history, two days of conversations about digital identity, consent, and trust.
We started with a fireside chat and Q&A. The students came prepared.
One Masters student asked whether Ledger is evolving from securing assets into infrastructure for human identity — and whether that future protects choice or concentrates control. Not a casual question.
A CS student pushed on quantum risk, identity, and why hardware matters at all in an increasingly AI-native world. His point was essentially: if intelligence becomes abundant and synthetic agents become indistinguishable from humans online, software alone stops being enough. At some point you need a physical root of trust tied to consent, identity, and verification in the real world.
Then he moved to privacy: send someone £2 for coffee on-chain and they can potentially see everything you own.
Those questions earned him a Ledger device. Most of the room got close.
Dinner at The Cambridge Union turned into conversations about decentralised infrastructure for interplanetary settlement, synthetic identity verification, and agentic systems. Less “future of tech” panel talk, more people actively trying to work through the implications.
The next day we toured Trinity’s Great Hall, the Wren Library, Newton’s apple tree. What stayed with me wasn’t the history so much as the continuity of the questions. How people establish truth. Authority. Consent. Ownership.
We met with professors and students and started laying groundwork for deeper collaboration. Cambridge has a habit of stress testing ideas until they either collapse or sharpen. That’s useful.
We’ll be back.

We’re hosting the Co-Founder of @Bittensor, @const_reborn, for a keynote on why decentralized AI matters in a world where AI inherently centralizes power
Drawing on the lessons of Bitcoin, he will show how mining primitives can be expanded into a general framework for coordinating valuable work on Bittensor, and why open, permissionless incentives are more orders of magnitude powerful than traditional organizational models for humanity. Through concrete case studies of frontier research being built on the network, Jacob will illustrate how Bittensor is advancing the state of the art today, before closing with a practical look at how students and new contributors can participate in building the future of open intelligence.

🚨JUST IN: BLOCKCHAIN MEETS OXFORD ACADEMIA THROUGH CANTOR8
This week saw @cantor8 (the leading Canton Network infrastructure provider) host an event at Oxford University's Christ Church College wherein @Edenaofficial CEO, Wook Lee, spoke directly to students and academics from Oxford and Cambridge.
It was through Cantor8's suite of university partners that the event was made possible.
The ongoing university initiative is a bullish sign for both @CantonNetwork and the wider blockchain sector, each of which has much to gain from onboarding leading academics, researchers, and founders.
📣Cantor8 Welcomes EDENA Capital CEO to Oxford University
It was a special privilege to host @Edenaofficial CEO, Wook Lee, at Christ Church College, University of Oxford.
During an intimate discussion followed by a formal dinner in Christ Church’ iconic Great Hall, our university partners had ample opportunity to question Wook and hear firsthand about the massive impact he has made in sectors ranging from Law and Climate Change, through to Financial Innovation and Digital Assets.
Thank you to members of @camblockchains and @oxfordblocksoc for joining what was a truly unforgettable experience.

A wonderful evening at Jesus College with guests from @oxfordblocksoc, @cantor8 and @Edenaofficial CEO Wook Lee.

We had a wonderful time hosting @Edenaofficial CEO Wook Lee at Cambridge University, as a precursor to next week's event at Christ Church College, Oxford.
Cantor8's university partners gave Wook the true Cambridge experience - a punting session on the Cam, followed by a formal dinner at Jesus College.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and looking forward to next week.
