Expect a surprise guest appearance and live playtests of a brand-new AAA blockchain game built on Etherlink by a team well-known in the mainstream gaming sector. Attendees will be among the first to experience a game that's sure to be the talk of the town.
For the Developers: Etherlink Hackathon and Technical Sessions
TezDev isn't just about keynotes and gaming; it's a hub for developers too! The event marks the official launch of the first-ever Etherlink hackathon, organized in partnership with Encode Club and featuring over $40,000 in prizes. In-depth technical sessions, such as "RISC-V and the Future of Offchain Compute," will explore how blockchain platforms can leverage open-source architecture. Sessions on RWA tokenization and the growing DeFi ecosystem on Etherlink will highlight unique projects and provide newcomers with a roadmap to get started.
Art, DeFi, and a Whole Lot More
The conference will conclude with "Art on Tezos: Past, Present, Future," exploring blockchain's transformative impact on digital art. An immersive art show will follow, spotlighting works from over 30 artists. And of course, what's a conference without an afterparty? The official TezDev afterparty, organized with Midas and Jumper Exchange, promises to keep the good times rolling.
My Take: Tezos is Leveling Up
Based on the agenda, TezDev 2025 isn't just another blockchain conference; it's a statement. The focus on gaming, DeFi, and art shows a clear understanding of where the future of blockchain lies. The inclusion of a AAA game demo signals that Tezos is serious about attracting mainstream attention and adoption. The Etherlink hackathon is a smart move, fostering innovation and building a vibrant developer community. It feels like Tezos is strategically positioning itself as a blockchain for creators and builders. And with Breitman at the helm, I am bullish!
