About Event

Blockchain technology has come a long way, but what’s the best way to scale for the future? While Layer 1 blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin provide the foundation, Layer 2 solutions have emerged to improve speed and reduce costs. With so many different approaches, what does this mean for developers, investors, and users?

Join CAPE CONN3CT, with BlockDAG as our event sponsor, for an evening of networking, industry insights, and open discussions about where blockchain infrastructure is heading.

Why are new Layer 1 blockchains still launching, and what do they offer?
Are Layer 2s the long-term answer, or will Layer 1s continue to evolve?
How do these developments impact builders, investors, and businesses?

This event is open to everyone, whether you’re deep in Web3, just starting out, or simply looking to build connections in the space. Expect insightful discussions, real conversations, and the chance to engage with professionals from across the industry.
