Themes will cover some of the latest developments on Algorand – from the launch of staking rewards and new, super-simple node running tools, to updates with AlgoKit and the Algorand developer UX, tools for cross-chain building, new dapps and creators in the ecosystem, and more.

​Bring your laptop, your Pera wallet, and your boots… because we’ll be rounding up some of the best devs in town for these talks. Don’t miss out!

​Schedule:

🌟 10:00 - 11:30 AM | Stake & Eggs Brunch

​ICYMI: Algorand 4.0 is here and with it comes the industry’s most accessible Staking Rewards program.

​There are already more than 3,000 mainnet nodes live across the globe. Join this session and learn more about consensus on Algorand and how to stake your claim with one of the industry’s most community-owned networks.

​Unlike other networks, staking on Algorand comes with:

• no lock-up period
• no slashing penalties
• real-time rewards, paid every 2.8s as blocks are finalized
• options for everyone to participate, from solo staking to staking pools and liquid staking

​Join this session to:

• learn more about staking rewards and protocols on Algorand
• get real-time help starting up your own Algorand node (with NodeKit for Algorand it takes as little as 15 minutes!)
• enjoy a “light bites” brunch

​Speakers include:

• Patrick Bennett, CEO, TxnLab
• Andrew, Founder, GalaxyPay
• Algorand Dev Rels Brian Whippo, Chris Kim, and Gabriel Kuettel

​🌟 12:30 - 2:00 PM | RWAs, Prediction Markets, and Payments… let’s start building live!

• How to onboard to Algorand and start building in 5 minutes
• A quick flyover of Algorand’s improved developer UX and industry-leading tools, like LORA (aka the live, on-chain resource analyzer)
