Smart contract development often involves using different tools serving different purposes like testing, analysis, deployment, or vulnerability scanning. We introduce a comprehensive open-source Python toolkit tailored for everyday Solidity development. The Wake tool is presented with simplistic real-world examples compared with other open-source options. This talk covers the following scenarios: unit testing and cross-chain testing, fuzzing, vulnerability and code quality issue scanning, work with the editor (including enhancement with custom detectors and visualizations).

Open-source isn’t just about writing code or joining random projects; it’s a hands-on way to build real skills. We’ll explore how contributing to open-source can make you a stronger developer, give you real blockchain experience, and even earn fair rewards along the way.

Networks made up of AI agents can interact with other agents and solve the cross chain interoperability problem. Fragmentation and interoperability is a key topic these days. So we will deep dive into the impact AI can have on this. This is interesting not only from a tech angle and how it is enabled but also from the user angle where the user does not need to go through hoops to move assets/perform actions on multiple chains.

Circuits are often regarded as a sort of nuisance, an evil we have to endure for the sake of zero-knowledge proofs. More than often, efforts are put into adjusting circuits to meet traditional programming paradigms. However, a better approach may be to embrace circuits as they are, leveraging their strengths while acknowledging limitations. This talk introduces a new, concise language for PLONKish circuit design, simplifying the creation of complex circuits.

Learn to integrate the Across SDK to add cross-chain functionality to your dApps. We'll cover implementing actions like bridging and swapping, bridging and minting NFTs, or bridging and depositing into yield strategies. Discover how this enables access to liquidity across the Ethereum ecosystem and L2s, simplifying user experience by eliminating manual bridging.

It is a common goal for most rollups to become ZK in the coming years. Being a ZK rollup is better for: finality (no 7-day challenge period), therefore also for interoperability, for scalability of data availability, and for scalability of full nodes. Let's see under which circumstances ZK rollups can be cheaper than optimistic rollups in overall costs by computing the cost of securing an optimistic rollup and the opportunity cost of capital.

In this talk, I’ll discuss insights from over a year of zk-rollups in production, focusing on what hardware acceleration can realistically achieve for the Halo2 proving system. Moving beyond MSM and FFT optimizations, we’ll explore achievable gains in speed and cost efficiency with GPU acceleration and address the remaining challenges. This session aims to clarify hardware’s role in scaling zk-rollups.

What is AVS? What low-level components are needed for AVS development? This talk will explore AVS use cases, and my experience working with over 30 AVS teams and building alongside the Eigen team.

There will never be a blockchain virtual machine flexible enough to build what's needed to realize the full potential of trustless applications. Therefore, we need a much larger number of verifiable offchain services and compute, and we need much simpler ways to build offchain services. This talk discusses what this looks like within the context of AVSs, EigenLayer, and similar restaking platforms.

This talk will discuss insights and strategies for navigating the broader Ethereum ecosystem, covering critical tools, resources, and developments within the Ethereum community to help developers work effectively and understand ongoing changes.
