Venue: The United Nations University is located on Aoyama-Dori Avenue at:

5-53-70, Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-8925 Japan

PlasmaCon 2024 will be particularly special because it was Joseph Poon and Vitalik Buterin who originally conceptualized Plasma as an Ethereum scaling solution in 2017 to help bring Visa-level transaction volumes to Ethereum. Though Plasma was superseded by Rollups due to issues with user experience and online requirements, Vitalik Buterin mentioned his conviction of Plasma’s comeback, which he described in his blog post “Exit games for EVM validiums: the return of Plasma.”

The number of attendees is capped at 400, and there will be over 15 experts from across the world sharing their knowledge and insights on everything from the Return of Plasma to privacy, data availability problem, blobs, recursive ZKP, dApps on Plasma and much more. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with industry leaders, and all the guests will have the chance to ask questions about the panels and participate in discussions with some of the smartest minds of today.

Key Themes

  • Scalability Solutions for Ethereum: Discussions will delve into new technologies and protocols designed to enhance the scalability of Ethereum, making it faster and more efficient.
  • Privacy Enhancements: The conference will cover the latest advancements in ensuring user privacy on the Ethereum network, addressing one of the most critical concerns in today's digital age.
  • Application Use Cases: Attendees will get insights into various applications of blockchain technology.
Leona Hioki, the Co-founder of INTMAX, said, “It's time to let everyone know that Plasma is not dead—it's even stronger than it was in 2018! PlasmaCon brought together incredible thinkers and visionaries who have transformed the entire tech industry. Now, it's time to revisit Plasma, Statelessness, and Privacy. Join us in Tokyo on July 31st!”
