Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress #3

The Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress #3 is set to be a major event in Mumbai, India, bringing together the biggest human rights and neo-cypherpunk festival experience. As part of the Devconnect experience, this congress aims to foster discussions and practical solutions at the intersection of digital rights, Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS), decentralisation, and cryptography. This event follows successful editions in Buenos Aires, which attracted thousands of attendees and prominent speakers like Vitalik Buterin.

This congress is ideal for activists, developers, cryptographers, ethical investors, philosophers, and researchers who are passionate about shaping the future of a free and private digital world. Attendees can expect a phenomenal lineup of highly-curated speakers from leading organizations like the Ethereum Foundation, Tor Project, EFF, Brave, Flashbots, and Gnosis. Discussions will cover critical global challenges such as internet shutdowns, abuse of digital identity, and attacks on encryption, proposing real-world solutions.

The agenda includes dedicated tracks such as a Hackathon track for developers to build privacy-enhancing applications, a Women in Web3 Privacy track to address diversity challenges, and an Activation track showcasing practical privacy tools like Fileverse, Rotki, Fluidkey, Radicle, and GnosisVPN. High-level discussions will focus on overcoming challenges outlined in the "Make Ethereum Cypherpunk again" essay, exploring the Ethereum Privacy Ecosystem, building a mainstream cypherpunk culture, and onboarding millions to safe Ethereum-centric privacy tech. The event emphasizes the origins of Ethereum ethos and the balance between open-source culture and financial sustainability.

Key speakers include Kurt Opsahl (EFF), Isa (Tor Project), Justin Drake (Ethereum Foundation), Ghappour (Flashbots), and many more experts dedicated to digital rights and decentralized technologies. This congress is a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of Ethereum's cypherpunk culture and connect with a diverse community committed to freedom and privacy.
