The ad-based internet is broken. The web 2.0 status quo was built when the internet lacked a transactional layer. It wasn't easy to monetize, so people and their data became the product. Disparate, centralized services meant that users had to remember hundreds of passwords to hundreds of platforms regularly being hacked and leaking data. MetaMask Snaps use Secure Ecma Script allow the wallet to be securely extended at run-time to support a variety of new use-cases.

MetaMask Snaps makes the most popular wallet an open platform for innovation. Anyone can build their own features and integrate them into MetaMask, whether you are working on security solutions, privacy-preserving ZK technology, non-EVM layer 2 networks, or anything else you can think of. This talk will introduce the MetaMask Snaps platform, give examples of what people are building, and inspire you to develop your own snaps.
~ Christian Montoya, Senior Product Manager, MetaMask

We have been building the DAO ecosystem for a few years now. Especially after 2020-21 it seems like everyone has a DAO. Social gatherings, charities, big products and small ideas - everything can be coordinated by a DAO. Yet, while extremely powerful structure, Decentralized Autonomous Organisations are only gaining traction in our web3 bubble. Given that no one needs to convince anyone to running their code Open Source, and Open Source can be considered grandparents of DAOs, it is surprising how little general adoption we have.
~Marta Geater-Piekarska, Senior DAO Strategist 

In this workshop, we'll be building a MetaMask snap. Snaps gives developers the ability to do something that was not possible before: they can extend the functionality of MetaMask in a way that is very low-barrier. The snap we'll be building in this workshop will modify the MetaMask UI to give additional transaction insights to any user who installs it.
Prerequisites: some knowledge of JavaScript and its ecosystem.
~Ziad Saab, Lead Developer Advocate, MetaMask Snaps

Open source software is a critical public good to building out the Web3 ecosystem. As the first blockchain development environment, Truffle has a unique story to tell from starting as open source software to figuring out how to monetize to survive. This talk covers the the lessons Truffle has learned in our journey as an open source project and what we're doing now to work collaboratively in the ecosystem to offer blockchain developers the best experience.
~Emily Lin, Developer Evangelist, Truffle/Linea

The Universal Token is a smart-contract framework for creating customisable tokens. Tokens created following the framework are composed of a Token contract to which one or multiple Extension contracts can be connected. The workshop will go through how a developer can deploy a NFT token with these Extension contracts today, and how the developer can go about making their own extension contract.
~Edward Penta, Blockchain Engineer

The Delegatable Framework can enable dapp devs to write less code, reduce onboarding friction, and unlock scalable webs of trust for every function of a contract, all with basically one line of solidity. Stop writing ad-hoc permissions code, and use a framework that lets your users define their access policy freely, while saving gas and simplifying onboarding through use of off-chain permissions signatures. We'll cover the basics of how to use the framework, and then help attendees try applying it to their own projects
~ Dan Finlay, CoFounder and Group Manager MetaMask

Lead Managing Director, Infura

Friday

Starting with a comparison of web2 to web3, we'll talk about network protocol choices and how we can qualify different tradeoffs.
~Clemens Wan, Tech PMM, Infura

Joe Lubin
Co-founder of Ethereum, CEO & Founder of ConsenSys

Saturday

Our panel will feature experts from both centralized institutions and decentralized protocols or companies. Facilitated by the dOrg Hot Seat host, Pol Lanski, they will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of centralized exchanges, as well as the potential solutions to some of their most significant drawbacks.
~Matt Wright, Director of Decentralized Community

Right now we’re at a crossroads. Many people see our ecosystem as confusing, scam-ridden, and a really good way to lose lots of money. A big part of this is because the language we use in just about every platform out there can be confusingly opaque. Now’s our chance to reimagine how we might make web3 feel safer, simpler, and more accessible for anyone who wants to get in the mix — as well as for everyone already active in the space. To make this work, we need to work together, and collectively focus on how we can improve web3 through UX, specifically content design and language. In this talk, I'll share some real life user problems and how we can solve them, a few tips, tricks and tools for teams new to content design, and a fresh perspective on why language is one of our most powerful (and empowering!) secret weapons for the future of web3. 
~Corey Janssen, Senior Content Designer at MetaMask
