Angie Maguire at the Web3 Foundation, said: "The Web3 ecosystem has transformed since the last installment of the event in 2019. The spirit of decentralization, however, has remained steadfast, echoed in the experiences of those participating in the Web3 Summit, encapsulating the hacker ethos, and demonstrating the true value of decentralized technologies. Attendants of this year's Web3 Summit will gain a hands-on understanding of the future of decentralization."

Organized by the Web3 Foundation, an entity that funds the development of Web3 technologies including the Polkadot and Kusama blockchains, Web3 Summit is an open and collaborative space for individuals across Web3. Focusing on bolstering industry infrastructure and developing applications that align with market demands, participants can explore talks, participate in workshops and hackathons, host unconference sessions, and engage with the Web3 community during the 3-day event.
