[PRESS RELEASE – Prague, Czech Republic, May 25th, 2023]
Conference and hackathon are scheduled for June 3-5 to kick off Prague Blockchain Week
Gateway to Cosmos 2023 today announced the speakers and sponsors of the three-day in-person conference and hackathon in Prague, June 3-5, bringing together the best Web3 minds to shape the future of Cosmos, the internet of blockchains .
The event, which opens the Prague Blockchain Week, in which Vitalik Buterin is attending as a confirmed attendee, will be the largest Cosmos community gathering in Europe with over 40 exceptional speakers, over 30 presentations, 10 panel discussions and 15 workshops.
In addition to the scheduled presentations, an estimated 600 attendees will have the opportunity to browse the Cosmos Gateway Expo booths, speak to project and supplier teams, network with other Cosmonauts — as community members call each other — or visit the oasis of to visit Visit the Neutron Hackers Lounge where you will have the opportunity to code, chat and relax.
Cosmos and its Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol solves one of the biggest challenges for Web3 developers to date: the need to choose a blockchain like Ethereum, Avalanche, Solana or Aptos on which to build their applications. Projects benefit as adoption of this chain increases, because a vibrant application ecosystem means more users and better user journeys. With Cosmos/IBC technology, property developers are now launching applications that are cross-chain ready from day one and free to focus solely on building great products and businesses.
The conference will showcase the ecosystem’s leading projects and startups, technical roadmap developments and investment trends, and provide insight into adjacent technologies such as privacy and scale solutions that have the potential to power today’s most exciting blockchain use cases.
“While other blockchain technologies that were once the darlings of developers, users and investors have struggled in this more bearish environment, Cosmos is uniquely on the rise. It has attracted more developers than almost any other blockchain ecosystem – a testament to the now clear benefits of “app chains” and the limitations of public blockchains. Cosmos has emerged as a major competitor to Ethereum in hosting the future of decentralized finance (DeFi),” said Samantha Bohbot of RockawayX, the global venture capital firm and conference organizer.
Speakers include leaders of prominent projects leveraging Cosmos and inter-blockchain communication (IBC) technology, including Osmosis co-founder Sunny Aggarwal, Sommelier co-founder Zaki Manian, Agoric co-founder Dean Tribble, and Juno co-founder Jake Hartwell. just to name a few. Others, like Node Capital’s Amos Meiri, The Block’s Frank Chapparro, and Binance’s Kiril Khomiakov, will offer fresh perspectives from beyond the confines of Cosmos.
Gateway to Cosmos 2023 builds on the success of last year’s inaugural conference hosted by Rockaway, a lively, packed event that attracted more than 300 attendees and was hailed as a success by guests and speakers alike.
Day one, “Launch The Rocket into Cosmos,” will showcase the best use cases that are already in production as well as those coming to market in the near future. Keynote speeches will be given by key representatives from Cosmos, Interchain, Informal, Agoric, Celestia, Sommelier and NYM, among others.
The second day is all about guiding the Cosmos rocket in the right direction. The speakers will raise their hoods and offer deep insights into topics such as governance, interoperability and decentralization in general.
Day three is all about welcoming new cosmonauts aboard – upcoming milestones for leading projects and what it takes to develop and scale the next generation of “decentralized killer applications.”
Event partners include the top companies using Cosmos and IBC technology today, as well as leaders in the digital asset space including Halborn, Flow Traders, Fraction, SubQuery and more.
