Network with Top Developers and Investors at Brussels' Premier Event Venue

The flagship event of the Polkadot ecosystem, Polkadot Decoded↗, returns and will take place in one of Brussels’ most renowned event venues, The Sheds at Tour & Taxis on July 11th and 12th, 2024. Polkadot Decoded brings together developers, investors, enthusiasts, and industry leaders to explore the latest innovations in blockchain technology.

Polkadot is the secure and powerful core of Web3, providing a shared foundation that unites some of the world's most transformative apps and blockchains. It enables Web3 innovators to bring their ideas to market quickly with low start-up costs and a highly flexible development environment. Polkadot prioritizes decentralization and as the first modular, resilient, and interoperable blockchain governed by its users, Polkadot also operates as the world's largest DAO.

Attending Polkadot Decoded provides a platform to connect with industry leaders, developers, investors, and enthusiasts from around the world, fostering collaboration and partnership opportunities. Decoded also offers an opportunity to explore the latest developments, trends, and use cases within the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems through engaging talks, panels, and workshops. Attendees can learn how NFTs support Marine Research and Conservation through projects like DOTphin↗, experience the most cutting-edge Web3 games coming to the ecosystem via Mythical Games↗, discover exciting new partnerships with industry leaders such as Ledger↗, and even get a peek at how blockchain will change the future of content creation, monetization, and media with Kinera↗.

Decoded will also feature a keynote speech by Polkadot creator Gavin Wood, who will detail the future of Polkadot as he discusses the forthcoming Join-Accumulate Machine (JAM) - which moves Polkadot toward a world of synchronous composability, helping to reduce fragmentation and consolidate activity. JAM will build on the momentum of “Polkadot 2.0,” a community-dubbed collection of network advancements such as Agile Coretime, Elastic Scaling, and Asynchronous Backing, designed to enhance the scalability, flexibility, and efficiency of the Polkadot network. Attendees and virtual viewers can catch Wood’s speech on Thursday, July 11th at 11:40 AM local time (Brussels) / 5:40 AM ET.

✨ Decoded Highlights include:

  • 100+ speakers sharing their expertise
  • 100+ companies & projects showcasing the future of Web3
  • 5+ stages buzzing with energy and insights
  • 1,500+ attendees connecting, learning, and collaborating
