An event like no other

Once a year we gather to debate, discuss, create and push forward the Web3 agenda.

Web3 has always had an abstraction problem

A lot of the most important work happens where most people never see it. Protocol changes arrive through repositories. Governance develops through referenda and forum threads. Infrastructure improvements can take months or years before anyone outside the teams involved experiences the difference.

Web3 Summit brings some of that work out into the open.

You can see what people have been building. You can ask why it works the way it does. You can sit down with a tool rather than reading about it. You can watch someone encounter an interface for the first time and quickly discover whether the people who built it made the right assumptions.
