# EDCON - Tokyo'24

I had the privilege of attending **EDCON 2024 in Tokyo**, a leading global Ethereum conference that brought together builders, researchers, and leaders from across the Web3 ecosystem.

One of the most impactful moments was hearing **Vitalik Buterin** share his vision for the future of Ethereum — covering decentralization at scale, the importance of public goods, and the evolving role of Layer 2s. His insights reinforced the need for simplicity, security, and sustainability in protocol design.

Throughout the event, I explored critical topics such as:

* Ethereum’s post-Dencun roadmap
* Modular rollup architectures and data availability
* Account abstraction and smart contract wallets
* Cross-chain interoperability
* Governance mechanisms for decentralized communities

EDCON 2024 was more than a conference — it was a convergence of ideas, innovation, and global collaboration. The conversations, connections, and learnings from Tokyo continue to inspire how I approach building in Web3.
