Night of the Elephants: Exploring New Primitives in Ethereum
Join us for a cozy yet hopefully stimulating DevCon side event, organised by JLH Ventures and co-hosted with Shutter Network, Kleros, EthStorage, QuarkChain.
What better way to kick off your DevCon experience? Come to Elephants' Night to meet and mingle with developers, builders, and researchers who share your interests.
We welcome anyone excited about advancing our industry—whether through decentralization primitives like DAO governance, efficient DA systems, MEV minimization, or your own ideas pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
We’ll also touch on current Ethereum topics and engage in some lighthearted discussions, like whether meme coins are good or bad and if Ethereum is ‘dead’ by Solana (joking!).
This evening event will highlight a few underrepresented, innovative projects within the Ethereum ecosystem, with a focus on making World Computers more accessible, resilient, and fair.
We hope this event provides a warm space for our communities to connect and unwind before the busy week begins. Plus, enjoy live music by the Open Source Orchestra, brought in by DevCon’s music coordinator. And if you can play an instrument, feel free to permission-less join the band!
