INTMAX, a leading Layer 2 zkRollup platform, has announced PlasmaCon, an official event of Japan Blockchain Week. The event is set to take place on July 31st in Tokyo and will bring together key figures in the blockchain industry. Speakers will include Ethereum Co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum Foundation researchers Justin Drake, Public Works Founder and Gitcoin Co-founder Scott Moore, and Plasma researcher and INTMAX Co-founder Leona Hioki.
PlasmaCon will focus on Ethereum scalability and privacy solutions, with a particular emphasis on exploring alternative methods for scaling Ethereum and enhancing privacy solutions. Discussions will cover scalability solutions, privacy enhancements, and various blockchain applications. The event will be held at the United Nations University from 12:30 to 17:00 local time, following this year’s EDCON Tokyo.
PlasmaCon 2024 is significant as it marks a renewed interest in Plasma technology, originally proposed by Joseph Poon and Vitalik Buterin in 2017. Despite being overshadowed by Rollups, Plasma is making a comeback. Vitalik Buterin recently addressed this in his blog post titled ‘Exit games for EVM validiums: the return of Plasma.’
The event will have a limited capacity of 400 attendees, offering the opportunity to engage with over 15 experts from around the world. Participants can expect insightful discussions, Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities with industry leaders.
Leona Hioki, Co-founder of INTMAX, highlighted the strength of Plasma technology and the importance of revisiting Plasma, Statelessness, and Privacy. She encouraged individuals to join the event in Tokyo on July 31st to connect with influential thinkers and visionaries who have made significant contributions to the tech industry.
