From panels to parties: a packed week at EthCC[8]

June 30: Multichain Day and Builder Nights

The week kicks off on June 30 with Multichain Day, a deep dive into cross-chain innovation and interoperability. Sergej Kunz, 1inch co-founder, will speak on the panel “dApps and Consumer Products: PayFi, Wallets, Yield and Swaps,” alongside Ambire Wallet, Beefy and Solayer. 

That evening, 1inch will co-host Builder Nights Cannes, a high-energy gathering presented with MetaMask, Linea,TRON, Brevis, P2P, 1inch, Wormhole, OpenLedger, Odos, Paribu and io.finnet. Anton Bukov, co-founder, will join the panel “Building the Foundations of Crypto-Powered Commerce.”

July 1: Unite DeFi Builder Meetup and L2con on Ethereum scaling

July 1 is highlighted with L2con, the largest EthCC[8] event focused on Ethereum scaling. On the Dapps stage, Sergej will join the panel “Cross-Chain dApps: UX and Dev Tools for a Multi-Chain World,” diving into the challenges and tools shaping tomorrow’s user experience.

This day also brings one of the most meaningful moments of the week – Unite DeFi: Builder Meetup. This event will host multiple panels, a hands-on workshop and culminate in the announcement of a $525,000 hackathon prize pool, aimed at advancing cross-chain innovation and Web3 interoperability. All the info on 1inch’s tracks and prizes is available here. 

This event marks a full-circle moment – Sergej and Anton prototyped the 1inch DEX aggregator at an ETHGlobal hackathon in 2019. Now, 1inch is not just sponsoring hackathons, but shaping their future.

July 2: Official EthCC talks and the 1inch Party

Day three begins with a candid conversation at VC<>Startup Connect: Cannes Edition. Sergej Kunz will join the panel “The Untold Truth: What Founders Never Say Out Loud,” offering behind-the-scenes insights into startup realities.

From there, the spotlight turns to the official EthCC stages for deep dives into DeFi mechanics and developer innovation. On the Monroe Stage, Sergej will deliver the keynote “Surviving MEV,” a hands-on session exploring how users lose value to MEV, and how to protect them.  

Meanwhile, on the Hepburn Stage, Anton will present on Token Hooks, an emerging way to extend token functionality and build dynamic governance or tokenomics models.

1inch will also take part in a side event - Reality Layer - with a workshop on 1inch’s B2B offerings.

And when the sun sets, it’s time for the next legendary 1inch party – Côte d’Crypto. Expect curated drinks, sunset grooves and signature unicorn energy –  all co-hosted with OKX. A perfect way to wind down the day, 1inch-style.

July 3: From EthCC to ETHGlobal – keynotes, panels and Pragma Cannes

The week wraps up with a strong finish. Sergej will deliver a keynote at Pragma Cannes, part of the ETHGlobal program, titled “Expanding Horizons of DeFi: Swap Marketplaces and Beyond”, where he’ll chart the future of aggregation, liquidity access and market architecture.

From there, the action continues with EthCC side events. At the Hack Seasons Conference Cannes, Sergej will speak on a panel about DeFi interoperability, while Aleksandra Fetisova, 1inch’s Head of BD and Sales, will moderate the panel and participate in a panel focused on cross-chain DeFi and user experience.

Finally, Sergej will join a panel at EASYCON Cannes, a global builder series making its French stop on the Croisette. The panel, “Building the Next Billion Users,” will explore how infrastructure, capital and communities can drive Web3 adoption worldwide.

July 4-6: ETHGlobal Cannes – full momentum

With ETHGlobal week in full swing, the spotlight turns to the ETHGlobal Cannes, running from July 4 to 6. Builders can look forward to a dedicated 1inch workshop and keynote from Sergej on July 4, followed by project submissions, judging and the closing ceremony on July 6.
