Themes & Tracks

Themes & Tracks

Governance

01

Dates: Jan 6 to Jan 12

The governance track is dedicated to exploring decentralized governance and concepts from legal engineering. Participants will design, test, and take part in governance experiments that allow communities to self-organize in a transparent, scalable way. The track will also organize dialogue with key policy makers and decision makers to understand the future of innovation in India. More details to follow.

Impact & Public goods

02

This track focuses on creating systems and solutions that have a positive societal impact. It emphasizes the development of public goods—resources that benefit everyone but are often underfunded in traditional markets. Participants will explore innovative funding models and decentralized grant systems that support public goods, ranging from infrastructure projects to open-source technologies. More to follow.

Longevity (Biotech, DeSci)

03

The longevity track will explore advancements in genetic research, bioengineering, and health tech. We will also explore the intersection of translational research in the longevity space and decentralized science (DeSci).

Deep-tech

04

Space-tech, Neuro-tech, Robotics

AI

05

AI track will engage with cutting-edge AI research and applications, including machine learning, autonomous systems, and AI ethics. The track aims to explore how AI can be used to solve global challenges, improve decentralized infrastructures and build systems that won't put humanity in a locked in state. More details to follow.

Cryptography

06

The cryptography track will explore layer 1 chains such as Ethereum and applications such as DeFi, Consumer crypto etc. The track will also explore advanced cryptographic technologies, particularly zero-knowledge proofs (zk) and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). These tools are essential for creating privacy-preserving and secure systems which are key to decentralized innovation. More details to follow.

  • Experimentation

    A space for experimentation to bring 1k people for 2 months to co-live and co-build.

  • Innovation

    Innovation is a function of Ambition, Talent, Capital and Regulation - what we call “Innovation levers

  • Talent

    Cross-pollination of ideas by bringing various communities from different fields of technology under one roof for the first time.

  • Capital

    Experiment with innovative funding mechanisms for projects and ideas

  • Ambition

    The first iteration will concentrate on building a decentralised game-plan for “innovation levers”.
