As we venture into the modular ecosystem, the hurdles of fragmentation in Ethereum and the L2 ecosystem are becoming more pronounced, affecting developers, users, and liquidity. Projects are at the crossroads of whether to embrace modularity and spin up their appchains or to remain exclusive as smart contract dApps.
It’s time to discuss the Fragmentation problem that plagues this space today. It’s time we come together and unify our ecosystem. Let’s accelerate unification.
Expect an electrifying mix of fireside chats and panel discussions with leading figures in the space in an atmosphere that encourages open dialogue and idea exchange.
Join us for a thrilling day in Dubai during Token2049, where the brightest minds in blockchain technology will unify with wits and wisdom.
