Another week, another round of gigabrain speaker intros 🖤 Read on to see who else will be taking the stage in Berlin, in just 17 days 👇

Jarrad Hope from Logos will introduce Cryptarchia, a private proof-of-stake protocol that hides validator identities, & Blend, a mixnet for anonymizing block proposals through encrypted broadcasting, artificial traffic, and timing obfuscation.

Johannes Kühlewindt from @radicle.xyz will discuss how moderation can work in peer-to-peer networks without central authorities, using radicle as a case study. He’ll discuss cryptographic identities, trust graphs, and the balance between openness and governance.

Basti from l2beat will give us a spicy tour of Ethereum scaling’s worst offenders, using sharp technical critique to surface the ecosystem’s unwritten values, and offer a clearer intuition of where alignment falls short and how to improve it.

Aron Soos will host a hands-on workshop on decentralized storage using ethSwarm, showing how to deploy a site to the network and link it via ENS. He'll also explore the core challenges of building resilient, censorship-resistant storage infrastructure.
