Devconnect popped off last week with over 6,000 attendees and Gnosis team members giving talks across various panels and side events. The highlight of the week was the Decentralised Scaling Summit on Thursday, November 16, 2023 hosted by Gnosis. If you were at any of the side events, L2Days, The Staking Summit or the Nethermind Summit, then you most likely ran into a Gnosis team member. ETHGlobal Istanbul rounded out the week with over $500,000 USD in hackathon prizes at the prestige ICC (Istanbul Congress Center) taking place over the course of just 36 hours! Full details on the talks and side events below!

Martin Koppelmann, Gnosis Co-Founder, published a tweet in the middle of the week, amidst the bustle of Devconnect, highlighting why Gnosis Chain is picking up speed after two years of hard work. Check out his thread to learn why the Gnosis Chain TVL is ticking up week after week. If you were at the conferences last week and caught a talk or listened to a panel with Gnosis, there's no doubt that you found out what the buzz is all about.

It has been now almost 2 years and the hard work has paid off - @gnosischain is buzzing - let me show it to you: https://t.co/3fmgU2vGZc— Martin Köppelmann 🦉💳 (@koeppelmann) November 15, 2023

AnotherJannik from Project Shutter talked about the Shutterized Gnosis Chain at the Nethermind Summit. Shutter Network is a project to prevent front-running and malicious MEV on Ethereum and Gnosis Chain by using threshold encryption. The Shutterized Gnosis Chain allows users to optionally encrypt transactions and includes them into the chain before the content is visible to anyone. It greatly improves censorship resistance and reduces malicious MEV.
