With more than 40 speakers, 15 keynotes, and 4 panels deep-diving into Account Abstraction (ERC-4337), Wallet Infrastructure, and Zero Knowledge, the single-day conference proved a satisfying exploration into frontier web3 technology.

Building on the massive success of InfraCon@ETHSeoul in June, co-hosts Biconomy and Particle Network, along with main sponsor, Transak, took InfraCon to Paris for the largest European builder-based blockchain conference this year.

Impactful discussions around Account Abstraction, Wallet Infra and Zero Knowledge 

At the prestigious National Museum of Natural History, the event attracted 1000+ attendees, including leaders from Consensys, Coinbase, Scroll, The Sandbox, Lens, Ceramic, and more. Web3 enthusiasts from all backgrounds — Founders, PMs, Technical Leads, Developers — piled into the Gallery of Evolution as talks and keynotes continued around Account Abstraction (ERC-4337), Wallet Infrastructure, and Zero Knowledge Technology.

InfraCon Part 1: Compelling conversations around web3 infrastructure, macro outlooks, and trending narratives

The morning half started with insightful discussions around web3 infrastructure, the state of the macro environment, and critical narratives.

We played host to distinguished speakers from prominent web3 teams, including Polyhedra, Xangle, Ocean Protocol, Karma3, Lit Protocol, Orbis, Lens Protocol, Ceramic, Sweat Economy, Sandbox, iZumi, QuestN, Coinbase, Scroll, Noves.fi, Conflux, zk.me, and Particle.

Speakers from Karma3, Lit Protocol, Orbis, Lens Protocol, Ceramic, and Sweat Economy explored the challenges and strategies for achieving the delicate balance between user-centric design, decentralisation, and security in SocialFi.

InfraCon Part 2: Empowering Developers with Technical Workshops

Technical Workshops on Account Abstraction, Wallet Infra, and Zero Knowledge kicked off in the second half of the day. Teams from Linea, zkSync, Taiko, OKX, Polyhedra, Biconomy x Polygon DevRels, Ceramic, Ethereum Foundation, Biconomy, Metamask (Moderator), Safe, Transak, Developer DAO, Candide Wallet, PUSH Protocol deep dived into their respective technologies. 

Notable presentations included:

The most lively discussions took place on three distinct panel discussions:

1. Exploring the Boundaries of Zero-Knowledge - with speakers from Linea, zkSync, Taiko, OKX, and Polyhedra

2. Building Beyond Account Abstraction (ERC-4337) - with speakers from Ethereum Foundation, Biconomy, Metamask (Moderator), and Safe

The Account Abstraction panel successfully highlighted the role of wallet security in the DeFi ecosystem. They offered valuable insights into enhancing wallet security, addressing vulnerabilities, and improving user education. The panel also emphasized the potential benefits of adopting Smart Accounts for enhanced security measures. This discussion is crucial in driving the broader adoption of DeFi while ensuring the safety and protection of users' assets and data.
