DIPs

Use an updated Pretix payments plugin for streamlined ticket purchases on Ethereum. This plugin uses Daimo Pay for any-chain checkout and Peanut Protocol for refunds.

A lot of people will travel to Devcon SEA. This will impose a number of risks to these people: flight Delays, baggage loss, theft, and others. We will build a decentralized travel insurance for Devcon SEA participants.

Create a symbolic ritual where the last Devcon city/country host brings its culture and passes the Eth values to the new city/country host of Devcon creating links among faraway communities.

We’d like to recruit Devcon attendees to cover the most interesting Devcon links on Kiwi News so that people who couldn"t make it in person can also follow the most interesting projects, ideas, and discussions from the event.

The Ultimate Solidity Championship (USC) is a 30-minute competition where developers write Solidity functions and solve Solidity puzzles. The first programmer to complete all tasks earns bragging rights as the best Solidity programmer, and may even win a valuable prize.

We’re really excited to propose the “DAO Confession Booth,” is a sacred space crafted for weary souls of DAO operators. Participants are invited to share their raw DAO experiences in an anon friendly way. The DAO Confession Booth acts as a sensemaker by taking the individual stories, anonymizing and analyzing into a dataset, and outputting collective themes and challenges (live!). The booth is standalone, doesn’t require oversight, but is a fun experience for Devcon attendees to participate in, all while contributing to research. The DAO Confession Booth was originally activated at MCON III. We would love to bring it to Devcon to add more stories!

We want to produce a short documentary about Devcon and the Ethereum developer community.

Roll for initiative! We"re bringing tabletop gaming to Devcon, transforming conference downtime into epic quests of strategy, laughter, and community-building. Get ready to level up at Devcon!

We propose to issue Devcon 7 tickets as PODs, enabling attendees to plug into a network of applications and cryptographic gadgets. If tickets are issued as provable object data, Devcon community members can generate ZKPs about their activity that are portable across other platforms—event host websites, Devcon-native applications, and more.

We are proposing the development of an innovative app that combines the interactive questions & answers capabilities of Slido with the privacy preservation of Zupass. This tool, Meerkat, is designed to enhance audience engagement at events while upholding the standard of user privacy.

NEON TEMPLE : A place for arts, communications, fun, and mementos The all inclusive common ground for people with different backgrounds to share their minds freely on walls with glowing neon colours markers, decorating themselves for photos, as well as enjoying artworks inspired by Ethereum ecosystem submitted from all over the world in the SEA NEON TEMPLE themed area under blacklight.

This proposal introduces an Anon Aadhaar integration for Devcon in Bangkok, enabling Indian citizens to prove their nationality using zero-knowledge proofs and access ticket discounts in a privacy-preserving way. This improves the user experience and eliminates the need to share sensitive identity documents.

This proposal introduces a zkPassport integration for Devcon in Bangkok, enabling SEA citizens to prove their nationality using zero-knowledge proofs and access ticket discounts in a privacy-preserving way. This improves the user experience and eliminates the need to share sensitive identity documents.

A sufficiently decentralized collaboration stack for Devcon 7 that makes community coordination & collaboration free from centralized intermediaries and their arbitrary rules that threaten people’s data sovereignty.

Adopt the 3cities payment app for Devcon 7 ticketing payments. 3cities is a decentralized, open payments app focused on accessibility, credible neutrality, and supporting many wallets, tokens, currencies, and chains.

The "escape room / treasure hunt" format is both a good teaching tool for fundamentals of crypto(graphy), and an exciting conference activity for curious minds of all experience levels. Although technically finite, treasure hunts, escape rooms, and other LARP-y activities are infinite games in spirit, which makes them an appropriate tradition for Ethereum events of all shapes and sizes, including and especially devcon(nect). As a curated narrative experiences, there is a very steep coordination penalty for writing, implementation, and execution of an escape game. At devcon{4,5,6}, the games were designed and executed by a handful of committed game masters working as a single team for the event. This is natural, and in some ways necessary to execute high-quality games within event spacetime. Still, if escape games continue as at devcon(nect), it"s worth interrogating what mechanisms exist that could reduce the frictions of coordination, and allow for more collaborative world-building at bigger scale. Daedalus Industries would like to design and execute a devcon7 escape game, and to experiment with a general framework for "infinite finite gaming" that would allow for some open participation without world-breaking narrative chaos.

Hosting the Devcon website with the Agenda of DevCon on Swarm/FairData Society. This would make Devcon’ website decentralized, censorship resistant and privacy preserving, and would make Devcon’s digital efforts aligned with its values, and help attendees have an amazing experience__

An interactive game using ZK to prove points while protecting privacy. Attendees collect unique signatures from physical NFC cards, which represent attending events or meeting people, and are visualized as different "Jubjub" monsters. Attendees use ZK to reveal the number & rarity of the Jubjubs they"ve collected, but nothing else.

We propose to issue Devconnect co-working space tickets as PCDs, which would enable attendees to plug into a a structured network of ZKP-friendly data. If tickets are issued as proof-carrying data, Devconnect builders and community members will be generate cryptographic proofs about their activity at Devconnect that can be ported across other community platforms—event host websites, Telegram channels, and more.

As proposed in DIP-17 (Accepted) the "Climate Friendly Devcon VI" Dapp allows Devcon VI attendees to optionally compensate the carbon emissions associated with the event and their air travel to the event on-chain. Attendees who compensated (at least) their event emissions may mint a POAP as proof of participation. This DIP proposes that holders of this POAP receive priority treatment in the queue for vegetarian lunch on the last day of Devcon VI.

Hosting the agenda of DevCon on Swarm, and using Swarm for document sharing

As a continuation of a tradition started in Prague, let"s have an escape room experience at Devcon6! This time, however, the mechanics and story of the room should be fundamentally crypto.

The main objective of this DIP is to replicate the experience of using POAP in Devcon 5 (Osaka). This being establishing the process for which every attendee gets one (and only one) POAP redemption code when they show up at the registration desk.

Implement an attestation-based ticketing system on Ethereum for Devcon. The solution will use two attestations, a ticket attestation and an email attestation, to verify the authenticity of a ticket holder for both on-chain and off-chain use cases. This system will function independently of Pretix.

We set up [Planetscape][planetscape], a dystopian escape game for [36C3][36c3] based on the dreadful effects of climate change (CCC did not sponsor the game). Planetscape is organized in 20 chapters, and requires players to solve quests in real life, explore the congress to find hints and interact with people. Planetscape had 20 levels, 254 players, [1300 transactions][ps:transactions] to the smart contract, and 7 teams finished the game and claimed their prize. The players" feedback was heartwarming: "We were about to leave the congress but we found Planetscape, and we stayed longer to play!", "Please make another escape game for the next congress!", "This was the best thing of the congress", "Highlight of this year" ([tweet][ps:highlight]). During the game, players:

• Discovered new areas and activities, the game kept them engaged with the event. - United forces with others while playing the game. - Understood and enjoyed the theme of game.

Winding Tree offers Devcon attendees to book their stay directly from accommodation providers with discount. 0% commissions are paid to intermediaries, a 1% treasury contribution is made that fuels the community chest for the development of the platform.

Give Devcon participants a taste of a regenerative economy, by allowing them to offset the carbon emissions associated with the event, as part of the ticketing process.
