From go-ethereum to EIP-7702, @lightclients has been shaping how Ethereum accounts evolve. At Devcon 8, they’ll take the Core Protocol stage for “Frames are all you need,” exploring what comes next for account abstraction and Ethereum’s execution model.

Got my outfit ready

Ethereum’s roadmap, without the noise. We’re excited to welcome @cheekygorilla0x of @ProtocolGuild to Devcon 8! 🦍 From upcoming upgrades to the bigger picture, they’ll break down what’s next for Ethereum, why it matters, and how it all fits together.

.@jbaylina helped build Polygon zkEVM, created Circom and snarkJS, and is now building the open-source zkVM ZisK. Next up: EEZ. ⚡️ At Devcon 8, he'll be at the Permissionless Networks track to talk about how real-time ZK proofs could help make synchronous Ethereum possible.

🧠 From sociolinguistics to Web3 UX to a PhD on blockchain’s social impact, @vicosvv has spent years studying how people actually encounter decentralized tech. She’s joining Devcon 8 to unpack why doing many things “right” can still lead to the wrong assumptions about adoption.

Constantly searching for people flying for @EFDevcon who can talk digital rights, p2p, foss languages. For Cypherpunk Congress programming, it's critical to be able to establish productive communication with the wider public, from human rights lawyers to policy shapers, from grassroots activists to digital security trainers. This requires recognising personal "professional speak" (niche language that isn't a shared reality; think of "EIP" or "GBV"), re-calibrate it for the person in front of you, and be open to asking clarifying questions. Encryption is the nice trajectory where it's an intersection of both applied cryptographers and legal people. They need to sit at one table, talk to each other. Just like @valkenburgh or @therealyingtong are doing. Think of this as an open call. Write us at @web3privacy.

From pioneering web micropayments w/ SatoshiPay to building censorship-resistant infra into the browser, Meinhard Benn has spent over a decade exploring a more permissionless internet. We're excited to announce he’s joining Devcon 8 to give a talk on “Gateway-Free by Design”.

You can decentralize the network and still centralize the front door. @jchaskin22 will take the stage at Devcon 8 for “Ethereum Is Decentralized. Your Access Isn’t.”, exploring what it takes to make access to Ethereum as resilient as Ethereum itself. See you in Mumbai, Jason 🫡

One more reason to be in Mumbai this November 🇮🇳 @ETHIndiaco joins Devcon 8 on November 4 for a one-day conference exploring what Ethereum means to India. See you in Mumbai 🫡

Tofu's about to spill the (toe)beans... 👀

What if computation could stay encrypted, even while multiple parties work on it together? At Devcon 8, @Janmajaya_mall of phantom.zone will share an update on Local Mixing (iO) and the cryptographic primitives behind new private computational systems. See you there!

We're coming home 🇮🇳 @sandeepnailwal is heading to Devcon 8, speaking on the future of open money rails in India. It's a big moment for the local ecosystem, and a fitting one for Polygon.

I'm speaking at @EFDevcon 8! "The Next Centralised Dependency Is Your Bootloader" Join me in Mumbai 🇮🇳 November 3-6, 2026. devcon.org/schedule/devcon8/…

What does Ethereum need to survive a post-quantum world? @drakefjustin of the @ethereumfndn is taking the Devcon 8 stage to explore PQ Ethereum & how the protocol can evolve to stay secure against future cryptographic threats. Catch his talk in the Core Protocol track.

From founding @0xPolygon to helping scale Ethereum adoption, @sandeepnailwal has spent years building for an onchain economy. At Devcon 8, he’ll explore how open financial rails could reshape money movement in India. Catch his talk in the Futures Worth Building track.

This Ganesh Chaturthi feels especially meaningful as we get ready to bring Devcon to India. 🪷🇮🇳 To our community celebrating in India & around the world, we’re wishing you a joyful Ganesh Chaturthi. May Lord Ganesha, remover of obstacles and symbol of wisdom and new beginnings, bring a clear path forward and many reasons to celebrate. 💜

50 DAYS TO DEVCON 8. 🇮🇳🔥 The countdown to Mumbai is officially on. November 3–6, thousands of builders, researchers, creators, communities, and curious minds from across Ethereum come together in one city. Mumbai, we’re coming → devcon.org
