Next week I'll be giving a short talk at Protocol Berg in Berlin sharing some insights into distributed and concurrent programming. For those who cannot attend in person, it will be streamed and recorded, but I have a couple of ticket vouchers. Please drop me a message if you'd like to get one 😉 👇

Protocol Berg v2 is for the curious 🤔 For the ones deep in the weeds of distributed systems and for people who care about the long-term resilience of the things we’re building.

For this edition we are also teaming up with the @zkavclub.bsky.social for decentralized storytelling 🎙️ Drop by the recording station to record a podcast, share an idea, or tell a story and help shape the collective memory of Protocol Berg! No experience or booking needed.

Also a huge shoutout to the Meerkat team for collaborating with us to provide a smooth Q&A process, for our speakers and attendees 🖤 It's powered by zk, so you can ask whatever spicy question you want, anonymously. No excuses!

Ever wonder what those weird sounds were in the first Protocol Berg videos? For the younger ones out there, that’s a typewriter Before computers, people used them to write papers. At v2, you’ll find one in the wild, so you can leave anonymous feedback or a guestbook entry the analog way.

We have some easter eggs around the venue🥚 Introducing “Bring paper, get paper.” Bring a research paper you love. Trade it for another. Start a conversation. And take it home!

We’ll also have a small web3 library which explores the concept of infrastructure for different angles, from geopolitics, and philosophy, collaborative practices and technology. You can take a break and have a read 📚

Protocol Berg isn’t your typical industry event✨ It’s free to attend, donation-backed, and entirely sponsor-free. The focus is on sharing work and research, learning from each other, and asking the real questions.

Only 7 days left until the second edition of Protocol Berg! And we are very excited to be dropping the final speaker announcements 🔥 Talks on censorship resistance, new execution layers, testing methods, oracle design, and more! Read on for the details 👇

Matthew Stephenson presents Veiling, an intents-based method that allows protocols to handle oracle uncertainty transparently, enabling fair transactions under unknown prices and avoiding forks or gaslighting users.

žygimantas , interchain.io, presents a novel method for testing blockchains before and during production, detailing how critical components like consensus, state machines, and communication protocols are validated and analyzed using pre-mainnet data.

Andrew Macpherson, Shtuka Research, introduces automated payment allocation mechanisms for decentralized storage in swarm, showing how a microeconomic approach using Tullock contests can drive efficient pricing and healthy competition among service providers.

Nikita Polianskii ​​​​, iota.org , introduces Starfish, a partially synchronous DAG-based BFT protocol that combines certified security with low-latency efficiency using Encoded Cordial Dissemination, enabling linear communication complexity and strong performance in Byzantine conditions.

Seres István András will analyze how Ethereum’s RANDAO can be exploited, introducing the RANDAO forking attack, a strategy that undermines fairness and reliability by selectively forking blocks for profit, and shows how it may be more harmful than previously studied selfish mixing attacks.

Lukas Rajnoha & Michal Převrátil , ackee.xyz , will introduce Manually Guided Fuzzing, a new smart contract security testing method that combines targeted guidance with fuzzing efficiency to improve vulnerability detection in complex DeFi systems.

Luis Bezzenberger , Andreas Erwig, Marc Harvey-Hill present the "Holy Trinity of Censorship Resistance", enshrined PBS, FOCIL, & encrypted mempools, as a path to restoring fairness and neutrality in Ethereum, with a @gnosischain mainnet demo of encrypted transaction flow from the user perspective.

See you at Protocol Berg ✨

Johannes Kühlewindt from @radicle.xyz will discuss how moderation can work in peer-to-peer networks without central authorities, using radicle as a case study. He’ll discuss cryptographic identities, trust graphs, and the balance between openness and governance.

Hope to see people at ProtocolBerg 🌱 Let's discuss moderation in a decentralised network 🕸️

Aron Soos will host a hands-on workshop on decentralized storage using ethSwarm, showing how to deploy a site to the network and link it via ENS. He'll also explore the core challenges of building resilient, censorship-resistant storage infrastructure.

Jeff Strnad from Stanford University will present new research on how different governance models perform epistemically—meaning, how likely they are to reach the right decision. From partial abstention to transfer delegation and prediction markets, this talk dissects what actually works for DAOs.

Basti from l2beat will give us a spicy tour of Ethereum scaling’s worst offenders, using sharp technical critique to surface the ecosystem’s unwritten values, and offer a clearer intuition of where alignment falls short and how to improve it.

Jarrad Hope from Logos will introduce Cryptarchia, a private proof-of-stake protocol that hides validator identities, & Blend, a mixnet for anonymizing block proposals through encrypted broadcasting, artificial traffic, and timing obfuscation.

Mikel Cortes, ProbeLab, will dive into why the networking layer, not consensus or proofs, may be the real bottleneck in P2P systems. He'll unpack the latest research and proposals to optimize GossipSub in libp2p and rethink message propagation at the protocol level.
