Future of Account Abstraction in Decentralized Applications (DApps)
Advancements in Blockchain Interoperability
Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning Models (MLMs) with on-chain data
Responsibility
With the premise of robust blockchain systems, we delved into topics such as privacy, advanced security protocols, and white-hacking as essential tools for maintaining trust. Discussions also included consensus mechanisms and their role in the entire infrastructure, beginning with transparent Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).
Legal Policies
The track on financial freedom led to the transformative potential of decentralized finance (DeFi). We tackled the challenges and opportunities of blockchain products within a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
Mass Adoption
Conversations surrounding accessible platforms underscored the need to simplify onboarding for new users, ultimately crafting solutions that appeal to mainstream audiences. Contributors explored ways to improve user experience (UX), enhance community management, and support Web3 startups.
ETH Legal and Industry Debate
ETH Legal, co-organized with PKO BP and several leading law firms, studied the implementation of the MiCA guidelines starting next year and affecting the market. It aimed to dissect the complex policies that govern digital assets.
Currently, founders navigate a patchwork of regulations that vary by jurisdiction. There is a clear need for structured protocols that ensure consumer protection and market integrity while attracting more users. Legal experts broke down the implications of existing and anticipated changes on decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), business logic, and other emerging technologies.
The importance of ETH Legal extended beyond theoretical discussions. It served as a vital forum for stakeholders to connect and share insights. Thanks to input from renowned experts in the field, attendees left with a deeper understanding of the challenges ahead.
