ETHDC Conference: Spotlight on D.C. Area Founders in the Crypto Space
The world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is often associated with tech hubs like San Francisco, New York, and other major cities. However, Washington D.C. is emerging as a new hub for crypto tech, thanks to a combination of remote working policies and burnout from policy conferences. This has led to the creation of the first-ever ETHDC conference, a unique event that brings together developers, founders, and designers of cryptocurrency tokens and blockchain technology.
Blockchain developers gathering at a conference
The ETHDC conference is the brainchild of Shailee Adinolfi, Business Development Manager at TrustMachines, who identified a growing ecosystem of developers in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland. The conference aims to put a spotlight on D.C. area founders in the crypto space, providing a platform for them to discuss technical blockchain development, scaling, roll-ups, token standards, and abstraction.

Adinolfi explained that the idea of ETHDC came about because they wanted to have an event for themselves that was not focused on policy, but rather on the technical aspects of blockchain development. The conference will feature speakers and panels discussing topics like scaling, roll-ups, and token standards, providing a unique opportunity for developers to learn from each other and partner with each other.
TrustMachines, a company focused on developing the Bitcoin ecosystem
TrustMachines is a company that is focused on developing the Bitcoin ecosystem, using its own Leather Bitcoin wallet. Adinolfi described how the company sees an opportunity for bitcoin applications to be built that could potentially replace the fees that will naturally decrease over time from Bitcoin miners, and thereby provide a replacement for a financial incentive to keep the Bitcoin network secure and sustainable in the future.

The ETHDC conference will feature companies like UniSwap, MetaMask, and Casa, among others. Adinolfi said that developers attending the conference are looking to understand how these companies have dealt with launching tokens in a decentralized way in a safe space, without the influence of policymakers.

The ETHDC conference is a significant step forward for the crypto community in D.C., providing a platform for developers to come together, share knowledge, and drive innovation in the space. As the crypto space continues to evolve, events like ETHDC will play a crucial role in shaping the future of blockchain technology.
The future of crypto is bright
