Devcon has always been a living reflection of Ethereum\u2019s growth, challenges, and community ambitions. It showcases the most pressing topics, the newest innovations, and the people building the future of decentralized technology. As Ethereum grows, so too does Devcon<\/a>.<\/p>\n Two years ago, right before Devcon VI in Bogot\u00e1, the Merge took Ethereum\u2019s consensus from proof of work to proof of stake. Devcon VI focused not only on the achievement of this milestone, but also on the next innovations: early Layer-2 development, the introduction of Account Abstraction (AA), and the rise of zero knowledge proofs (ZKPs) as an expansion of Ethereum.<\/p>\n Fast forward to today, Devcon SEA celebrated the ecosystem\u2019s readiness to take on the next big challenges. The content demonstrated how far Ethereum has come, how Ethereum’s L1 and L2s have advanced, how UX is improving, and how second-generation cryptographic primitives are enabling new types of applications. The tone has shifted from addressing foundational challenges to leveraging Ethereum for real-world impact.<\/p>\n In this blog post, we\u2019ll explore how Ethereum has grown since Devcon VI, what the key outcomes of Devcon SEA are, which challenges remain, and how you can contribute so that we can celebrate the next chapter of Ethereum when we meet for Devcon again.<\/p>\n
