Confidentiality & Cryptography in Practice: Use Cases Online Conference

In an era where data privacy and secure digital infrastructure are more important than ever, industry leaders and practitioners are coming together to explore how cutting-edge cryptographic technologies are transforming the way we secure information.

Hosted by MoRe Frens, Confidentiality & Cryptography in Practice: Use Cases is a free online conference that will bring together experts from foundational blockchain and privacy projects to discuss real-world applications, challenges, and the future of encrypted systems.

This is an online event on X Space, set a reminder now: https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1djxXWqlObdJZ

Speakers of the event:

Sebastian Bürgel | VP Technology, Gnosis; Founder, HOPR
Peyman Momeni | Founder, Fairblock
Noah Pravecek | Director of Product, Matter Labs
Melvis Langyintuo | Executive Director of the Canton Foundation
Amir Taaki | cryptographer & dev, DarkFi Squad
Ais Connolly | Chief Strategy Officer, TACEO
Andrey Sabelnikov | Zano project, Co-founder, aka the creator of CryptoNote technology (Monero)
Mo | Institutional Privacy Lead, Ethereum Foundation

Topics:

1️⃣ Making Infrastructure Safe for Any Blockchain

Even private chains can expose data — especially when hosted in external environments. Is infrastructure the bottleneck for adoption? Can we build scalable blockchain infrastructure in the cloud?

Peyman Momeni | Founder, Fairblock
Noah Pravecek | Director of Product, Matter Labs

2️⃣ How Confidentiality Can Help Web2 Go DeFi

Dark pools, private market makers, and protected order flows are ideal for Web2 players entering onchain finance. Neobanks, stock apps, DeFi, staking for real-world assets — the technology is almost ready. But is the demand real?

Mo | Institutional Privacy Lead, Ethereum Foundation
Amir Taaki | cryptographer & dev, DarkFi Squad
Melvis Langyintuo | Executive Director of the Canton Foundation

3️⃣ Confidentiality for Payments

Payments are the most anticipated — and most difficult — use case for confidentiality tech. Public blockchains are transparent and permissionless, while payments demand compliance and privacy. Can modern cryptography bridge the gap?

Andrey Sabelnikov | Zano project, Co-founder, aka the creator of CryptoNote technology (Monero)
Ais Connolly | Chief Strategy Officer, TACEO
Sebastian Bürgel | VP Technology, Gnosis; Founder, HOPR

All these topics point to the same reality: confidentiality is no longer a niche concern for cryptographers. It directly affects how blockchains are deployed, how financial products are built, and whether businesses are willing to move onchain at all.

This session is for those who want to understand what actually works today, what still breaks in practice, and where privacy technologies are realistically heading in the next few years. It’s a chance to listen to people who are building these systems, not just talking about them.

The event is open and free to join. Full details and registration are available on Luma.
