From March 8th to 10th, Paris was the place for Ethereum community to meet up. Part of Auctus’ team attended the conference and finally met up with other teams we had been collaborating over the last few months.

Thanks for joining us for dinner, Kleros team!

Scalability was one of the main subjects and mentioned in presentations by Jacob Eberhardt, Karl Floersch, Adrian Brink, David Knott, Thomas Bertani and Vitalik Buterin. Technologies such as Plasma, Casper and ZkSnarks were frequently mentioned.

Classic Vitalik is classic

2017 was the year of Dapps, which were constantly pushing the Ethereum Network to its maximum capacity. Even though we think that lots of advancements have been made, there is still a lot to be solved. It’s therefore great to see that scalability is still thoroughly being addressed in 2018.

Another highlighted topic worth mentioning was governance. Being one of the leader projects on this topic, Aragon was represented by Jorge Izquierdo, that presented a pay protocol user-friendly for a society with decentralized governance.

Aragon was also mentioned in Yalda Mousavinia’s speech as being the means for a decentralized autonomous space agency.

Governance was also discussed by Matan Field, Philippe Honigman and Vlad Zamfir, this last one giving a governance 101 class to better understand what governance is all about and what the implications are for the entire ecosystem.

Between presentations, numerous new connections were made in the the coffee area of the event. We’ve met up with investors, developers, speakers, project team members and had really good conversations. It’s amazing to be part of such collaborative community and this is exactly why we see Ethereum technology evolving fast in the future. We also attended a night meetup organized by Aragon and Token Economy teams (by coincidence!) that put together more than 100 people in a great, old styled venue.

Back at the office it’s time to put in practice all lessons learned, keep updated about news and also always keep bringing our community close to our development.

All livestreams are available on Youtube and you can access them here.
