Polkadot is coming to Rust Nation '23

Polkadot is joining Rust Nation 2023 in London. Meet our engineers, explore web3 innovations, and join the community at our post-conference event.

    By PolkadotFebruary 14, 2023

    Rust has always been an integral part of the Polkadot ecosystem. It is the foundation of Substrate - the blockchain framework Polkadot and all of its parachains are built upon - and a large portion of the Polkadot community are amazing Rust developers. So it only seemed logical for Polkadot to join Rust Nation.

    What is Rust Nation?

    Rust Nation ‘23 is the first UK conference dedicated to the Rust language. It will be held at The Brewery, in the heart of London, on the 16th & 17th of February 2023 and will include workshops, keynotes, four speaker tracks, and an evening social event hosted by the Polkadot community.
