Your Guide to Agglayer Events at ETHDenver, Crypto’s Premier Conference

Aggregation is all about collaboration, and collaboration starts with conversation. 

Across three days of Agglayer-related events, core developers and thought leaders across the cryptoverse will probe the challenges and opportunities of interoperability and building a unified Web3.

A brief rundown of aggregated events during ETHDenver, with links to RSVP:

• AggCave: February 26 & 27, 8-5pm MST
  
  • Coworking and whiteboard space to hobnob with big-brain builders 
  • A reverse dunk tank?! 
• AggDay: February 28, 8-6pm MST 
  
  • Panels featuring alt-VMs increasing interop: The future isn’t just EVM—see what’s out there.
  • ​DeFi interop: The tools and ideas making multi-chain DeFi possible.
  • ​Spicy L2 debate: Watch top minds hash out what’s next for Layer 2s

Across three days, these aggregated events bring industry leaders together in a collaborative, positive-sum environment. It’s a recognition that the movement toward a unified industry is bigger than any single project. Speakers will include technical sessions, talks, and collaborative panels from leading projects that will include: Avail, Axiom, Aztec, Berachain, Brevis, Google, Hylé, L2Beat, Larange, Lita Foundation, Miden, Nil Foundation, NovaNet, Offchain Labs, OP Labs, Polygon Labs, RiscZero, The Rollup, Starkware, Succinct, Taiko, Thirdweb, and ZKsync.

All community members are welcome. Cross-pollination is crucial to unity, and a more collaborative industry will bring in new users, builders, and founders.

Breaking down Aggregation Day ETHDenver

Building on the experience of AggDay at ETH CC last year, AggDay brings together developers, researchers, and protocol teams for practical and meaningful discussions

Everyone in crypto and Web3 knows that solving interoperability is one of the guiding lights of everything happening across the space. We also know that this is not an easy problem to solve. 

AggDay brings together many dynamic and talented teams, communities, and ecosystems in pursuit of finding solutions to the tantalizing challenges of aggregation.

Programming for AggDay will be taking place on Friday, February 28, 2025, from 12pm-6pm in Venture X Denver Lodo . Here’s a sample of what’s on offer during AggDay:

AggDay Panels:

• L2s and Interop: Moderated by Luca Donnoh from L2Beat, with panelists from Polygon Labs, Optimis, Arbitrum, Succinct, and ZKSync
• AltVMs and the Next Frontier in Interop: Moderated by The Rollup, with panelists from Movement, Aztec, Rome, and StarkWare
• Defi Interop: Panelists from Polygon Labs, Taiko, Last Network, and Berachain

Talks:

• Bridge-and-Call with ThirdWeb
• Benchmarking the Pessimistic Proof with Polygon Labs
• Blobspace Saturation on Ethereum with Avail
• Achieving Fast Interop with Espresso
• Client Side Proving with Miden
• L2s and Changes to the Stages Framework Requirements with L2Beat

AggCave breakdown

Cohosted with ZK Hack, AggCave is comfy hangout and workspace for devs to learn via osmosis and in-depth technical how-tos.  

If you’re looking for a homebase to catch up on some work, take advantage of the free wifi, snacks, and swag. Also, fun! 

Looking for inspiration?

AggCave Day 1: Day 1 will focus on proof aggregation, alongside the chill co-working space. That means technical sessions and deep-dive explainers for builders who want to understand how the magic happens.

Guests from Nil Foundation, Avail, Novanet, and other projects and ecosystems will walk through information about prover networks, proof acceleration, and trust-optimized interoperability.

AggCave, Day 2, is an exploration of zkVMs in an interoperable future.

Along with core developer teams from Agglayer and Zisk, guests from Lita Foundation and Lagrange will speak about Custom ISAs, zkVM benchmarking, and ZK-coprocessors.

If you’re going to be at ETHDenver, stop by the AggCave and AggDay to understand the frontier of crypto that’s coming into view on the horizon. Aggregation is about coming together, and that begins by getting in the same room and letting the magic of discussion and collaboration happen.

Polygon Labs will also be onsite at the ETHDenver conference at booth 318 from February 27 - March 2. Swing by for some swag and say hello to some of the breakout apps on Polygon PoS!

If you’re not heading to Denver this year, stay tuned for session recordings from Aggday and catch up on previous sessions.
