We're excited to welcome @bitrefill as a Devcon 8 supporter! 🇮🇳

From gift cards to eSIMs, Bitrefill makes it easy to spend crypto on everyday essentials.

And to help you stay connected in Mumbai, they're offering Devcon attendees a free 3GB eSIM!

A thought collaborative experiment is happenning in Mumbai:

Your agent makes a mistake, or someone outside tricks it into one. Who is there for you when that happens? Who listens first, before anyone explains?
Now the harder version: The model is a black box, you cannot take the till need to know the people you love are safe with it. What can you actually check, together?

Two questions run underneath all of it. What should stay private, and what should anyone be able to verify? Are shared norms held in code, or upheld by people?

@audreyt opens with a talk built entirely from what you ask. @VitalikButerin joins her right after to climb the harder levels, no script. Just attention. It is on you to decide what they will focus on.

Add question you care about and upvote the questions that matter the most to you. Help them prioritize what you care about.

You design your own AMA, and we all listen.
*Q&A is only open to those with a Devcon 8 ticket*

You're not going to want to miss this.

16/ In AI, policy is too often presented as a choice between slowing innovation and accelerating at any cost.

That misses another question: Who gets to build, access, and govern the systems transforming our lives?

21/ None of that happens by being passive.

It takes early engagement, objective research, coalition-building, and the willingness to honestly explain complex technology to policymakers before proposals are written.

22/ We have a long-term strategy for that work, and we're already executing it.

If we want a competitive, secure, decentralized future, we have to advocate for it.

That's what @TheDRC_ is doing.

Onward."

15/ The same principle extends beyond blockchain: policymakers should understand what decentralized alternatives make possible before setting the rules that shape their future.

14/ We're helping policymakers understand privacy-enhancing technologies and how they can support legitimate compliance needs.

Where current rules don't accommodate them, we'll make the case for modernization.

13/ Privacy belongs in this conversation too.

People expect confidentiality from traditional financial services. They should not have to expose their entire financial history to transact onchain.

12/ We’re also engaging policymakers on post-quantum security.

Ethereum developers are working towards a post-quantum world and policymakers need to understand the benefits and threats posed by quantum computing, while there is still time for careful preparation.

11/ DRC is working with protocol developers, blockchain analytics firms, and government agencies to improve threat detection, coordination, and the resilience of decentralized infrastructure.

10/ If we don’t help solve real security problems, we make poorly tailored regulations more likely.

Protecting permissionless systems means being serious about protecting the people who use them.
