INTMAX Announces PlasmaCon Featuring Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin

INTMAX, a prominent Layer 2 zkRollup platform, has announced PlasmaCon, an official event of Japan Blockchain Week. The event is scheduled for July 31st in Tokyo. PlasmaCon will bring together some of the most influential minds in the blockchain industry, including Ethereum Co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum Foundation researchers Justin Drake. Moreover, Public Works Founder and Gitcoin Co-founder Scott Moore, and Plasma researcher and INTMAX Co-founder Leona Hioki will also be attending the event.

PlasmaCon Focuses on Ethereum Scalability and Privacy Solutions

PlasmaCon will be a builder-focused event, exploring alternative methods for scaling Ethereum and enhancing privacy solutions. The event will feature discussions on scalability solutions for Ethereum, privacy enhancements, and various applications of blockchain technology. The event will be held at the United Nations University from 12:30 to 17:00 local time, following this year’s EDCON Tokyo.

PlasmaCon 2024 is particularly notable as it marks a renewed focus on Plasma technology, initially conceptualized by Joseph Poon and Vitalik Buterin in 2017. Despite being superseded by Rollups due to user experience issues, Plasma is seeing a resurgence. Vitalik Buterin recently discussed this in his blog post titled ‘Exit games for EVM validiums: the return of Plasma.’

The event will be capped at 400 attendees, who will have the opportunity to engage with over 15 experts from around the world. Participants can expect insightful discussions, Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities with industry leaders.
