INTMAX, a leading Layer 2 zkRollup platform, has unveiled 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, such as 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, catering to builders looking for alternative approaches to scaling Ethereum and improving privacy features. Discussions at the event will cover scalability solutions for Ethereum, privacy enhancements, and the diverse applications of blockchain technology. Scheduled at the United Nations University from 12:30 to 17:00 local time, the event follows this year’s EDCON Tokyo.
PlasmaCon 2024 is significant as it signals a renewed interest in Plasma technology, originally conceived by Joseph Poon and Vitalik Buterin in 2017. Despite being overshadowed by Rollups due to usability challenges, Plasma is experiencing a resurgence. Vitalik Buterin recently addressed this in his blog post titled ‘Exit games for EVM validiums: the return of Plasma.’
The event will be limited to 400 attendees, offering them the opportunity to interact with over 15 experts from across the globe. Participants can anticipate engaging discussions, Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities with industry leaders.
Leona Hioki, Co-founder of INTMAX, highlighted the robustness of Plasma technology and stressed the significance of revisiting Plasma, Statelessness, and Privacy. She underscored the gathering of influential thinkers and visionaries at PlasmaCon who have made a significant impact on the tech industry and encouraged individuals to join the event in Tokyo on July 31st.
Committed to supporting innovative builders and fostering insightful conversations within the Ethereum ecosystem, INTMAX provides a stateless Ethereum Layer 2 solution that enhances scalability, privacy, and security.
