What is the World Computer?

A world computer is a single, composable, open, and permissionless state machine that can host programs with minimal trust.

Front-Running the Next Adoption Meta 

Front-Running the Next Adoption Meta 

The WCD is a space designed to discuss thorny issues that prevent crypto from reaching mass adoption. In a format of debate and fireside chats, we will cover topics such as: Who uses the Nth rollup? Who are your users, bots or real people? Are crypto games dead? We will also curate space for established app builders to showcase their products, for aspiring app builders to brainstorm the next billion-dollar use cases, and for guests to try out new crypto experiences previously unimaginable. Imagine fully on-chain games, 3D-modeled worlds, and AVS that put commitments front and center.

ZK used to be out of reach for projects, but with zkVMs such as SP1 — zero-knowledge are proofs accessible to any developer. So what does this unlock, now that ZKPs can be written in days instead of months? Listen to brightest minds and builders in the zkVM space to see what has been built and what the future holds.

Front-Running the Next Developer Meta

To bring the world computer vision to life, developers and engineers are at the core. They’ll get exclusive early access starting with the BuildOnEigen breakfast (separate registration required), reserved solely for developers and engineers, followed by a series of research presentations, hands-on workshops, and lightning talks. The goal? Align on the technical roadmap that will drive the future of decentralized coordination.
