The ETHWarsaw 2024 Conference and Hackathon is all set to occur for its third installment.

Located in London, United Kingdom, on August 21, 2024, this information comes from Chainwire.

• The event will once again coincide with Warsaw Blockchain Week, which stands as the largest blockchain event in Poland for the second consecutive year.
• Amid the excitement of a bull market, this conference will stress the importance of innovative development done with responsibility and integrity.
• The upcoming 48-hour hackathon will feature over $50,000 in rewards for innovative blockchain solutions.

ETHWarsaw This web3-focused conference and hackathon, organized by a passionate group of Ethereum advocates, is slated to take place from September 5th to 8th, 2024, in the vibrant city of Warsaw, Poland. The event will unite a diverse global community of innovators, founders, and educators within the web3 ecosystem.

Building upon the success of its predecessor, ETHWarsaw 2023 drew in over 1,000 attendees and saw more than 200 developers compete for nearly $70,000 in prizes. The event also showcased Warsaw Blockchain Week , which is Poland’s most extensive blockchain gathering, in addition to EthWarsawVC, a one-day event linking venture capital with promising blockchain initiatives. Thanks to strong support from the community, these events are returning for 2024.

Paulina Joskow, co-founder of ETHWarsaw, commented, \"After two successful editions, we've discovered a successful formula that expands naturally every year. For that reason, we will stick to the same format and aim for an intimate audience size, particularly in light of feedback indicating that as events grow larger, the quality may decline.\"

She further added, \"Nevertheless, we are introducing some new elements for this third iteration. As we potentially enter a bull market, we expect significant growth, which might attract investors, customers, and ample capital. Yet, this surge also raises the risk of inferior products and scams. It is vital to distinguish between beneficial offerings and harmful ones, recognize the associated risks, and to always innovate responsibly. That’s the core message we wish to convey during this year’s conference.\"

Monika Zajac, another co-founder of ETHWarsaw, emphasized, \"We aim to break the stereotype that only developers and 'crypto-bros' are engaged in blockchain technology. Our mission is to present the diverse identities and backgrounds within the community, ultimately striving to reduce the barriers to entry. This entails showcasing efforts to simplify the onboarding process, effectively communicating the value of products, providing supportive infrastructure, and delivering quality education to facilitate growth.\"

ETHWarsaw is crafted to serve both experienced professionals and newcomers to the web3 domain, offering insightful learning opportunities for developers, non-technical individuals, and students. The conference will span two days and will feature a rich slate of talks, panels, and workshops organized into four main themes:

• Infrastructure and Scalability — This track will investigate methods for building and enhancing blockchain networks to accommodate a larger number of users and transactions efficiently, touching on innovations in blockchain layers, next-gen data storage advancements, and the integration of AI with blockchain technologies.
• Security and Resilience — Focusing on techniques to ensure the safety and privacy of blockchain systems. It will cover cutting-edge cybersecurity practices, explore how various blockchain systems maintain trust, and the crucial role ethical hackers play in pinpointing vulnerabilities.
• Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Innovations — This segment dives into decentralized finance (DeFi) topics, including digital wallets, decentralized exchanges (DEX), and novel investment avenues within the blockchain realm. It will also examine the legal and regulatory frameworks shaping this evolving financial landscape.
• Mass Adoption — Discussing strategies to make blockchain and web3 technologies more user-friendly and widely accessible. This track will address user experience, community building, marketing in the web3 space, and career opportunities within the web3 job market.

This year’s speaker lineup boasts prominent figures like Marek Olszewski from Celo, Anastasia Melachrinos of Kaiko, Kevin Jones from BuidlGuidl, and Omar Espejel representing Starknet.

After the conference wraps up, the overnight hackathon begins on Friday evening, featuring a 48-hour competition packed with non-stop development.
