About Event

As rollup solutions scale Ethereum's execution, a subset is diverging from the EVM. These teams are introducing alternative VMs, opening up a vast new design space for execution.

Join us for an afternoon to learn and engage with the builders behind these cutting-edge execution environments. Together, we'll delve into the intricacies, weigh the trade-offs, and unearth the transformative use cases these solutions unlock.
