The Ethereum Foundation is hosting the much-awaited Ethcon Korea 2023 Ethereum Developer Conference, which will be back this year to provide Ethereum developer talent a place to share ideas.
The featured speaker at Ethcon 2023 will be Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, who will give a keynote speech outlining the most recent Ethereum development updates and the project’s future plan.
Since its first event in 2019, the Ethereum Foundation has supported Ethcon because it understands the value of knowledge sharing among the developer community. Due to the non-commercial character of the event, the Foundation’s assistance is essential to keeping Ethcon as Korea’s top developer conference. The conference is entirely volunteer-driven, with members of the local community donating their time for free to plan and execute it.
It runs from September 1 to September 3, 2023, covering three days, and it comes just before the anticipated Korea Blockchain Week 2023, a Web3 conference held by FactBlock and Hashed from September 4 to September 10.
Ethcon Korea 2023 will be a developer-focused event with an emphasis on showcasing developers from across the world and in South Korea who will present incisive research findings and cutting-edge initiatives to advance Ethereum and the Web3 industry as a whole.
The occasion will be held in conjunction with an exciting three-day hackathon that will unite top developers to work on novel ideas and original research that they will then get the chance to showcase at a live-streamed demo day at the conclusion of the event.
The Hackathon will use Quadratic financing, a democratic public good financing and assessment technique developed by Vitalik and first applied in practice by Gitcoin, in keeping with the spirit of the community. With the use of the weighted voting and resource distribution process known as quadratic funding, judges, sponsors, and attendees may all contribute votes to the final decision. With the help of bigger donors, community support for innovative ideas may be combined with quadratic funding in a beneficial way.
Aiming to cultivate a varied background of active researchers and lesser-known developers, Ethcon Korea is seeking submissions for papers and talks until July 18. The conference’s main objective is to facilitate the exchange of relevant experiences amongst participants.
The event will take place at Platz2, a comfortable and large co-working space in the heart of Seoul.
