Meme Insider
If you're into the wild world of meme tokens, you know that stablecoins and DeFi are the backbone that keeps everything running smoothly. Without stable assets to park your gains or DeFi protocols to swap and lend, the meme coin frenzy would be even more chaotic. That's why the upcoming panel at ETHGlobal New Delhi is a must-watch—it's all about innovations and adoption in stablecoins and DeFi, straight from the pros.
CoW DAO, the team behind user-protective DeFi products like CoW Swap, just dropped a tweet announcing their involvement in "Open Connect: Dev Night," a side event happening alongside ETHGlobal in New Delhi. Set for September 24th from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM, this gathering promises presentations, a key panel discussion, and plenty of networking time. Whether you're a developer, trader, or just a crypto enthusiast, it's a chance to connect with like-minded folks and get the scoop on what's next in blockchain tech.
Event Highlights and Agenda
Hosted by CoW DAO, EVVM.org, and Camp Network, with sponsorship from pizzaDAO (yes, they'll have veggie and specialty pizzas on deck), the evening kicks off with check-in at 5:30 PM. The bar opens at 6:00 PM for some casual mingling over sodas, mocktails, beers, and more. Then, it's down to business:
- 7:00 PM: Welcome by pizzaDAO
- 7:05 PM: Presentation by CoW DAO—expect insights into their MEV protection and AMM tech that could supercharge meme token trading.

Meet the Panelists
The panel brings together a stellar lineup of experts from across the blockchain space. Here's a quick rundown on who's who and what they bring to the table:
Austin Griffith (@austingriffith): As the Head of Developer Growth at the Ethereum Foundation, Austin is all about empowering builders. He works with BuidlGuidl to help devs create scalable dApps. His insights on Ethereum's ecosystem could shed light on how stablecoins integrate with meme token launches and trading.
Aishwary Gupta (@0xAishwary): Heading up Payments and Tokenization at Polygon, Aishwary is a key player in making blockchain payments seamless. With a background in traditional finance from American Express and PwC, he bridges the gap between old-school money and crypto. Expect talks on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, which could stabilize meme economies.
Mariia Yatskovska (@MariiaYatskovs2): People Ops and Recruitment Lead at CoW DAO, Mariia brings a human touch to the tech. Formerly with Gnosis DAO, she's an ICF Coach focused on optimizing teams in startups. While not purely technical, her perspective on building resilient DeFi communities is spot-on for the collaborative spirit of meme projects.
German Abal (@ariutokintumi): CEO of EVVM.org, German is an inventor and life hacker involved in projects like ETH Cinco De Mayo and Datamorpho. He's pushing the boundaries with the Ethereum Virtual Virtual Machine (EVVM) for next-gen blockchains. His take on scaling could mean faster, cheaper transactions for meme token enthusiasts.
Viraz (@Viraz04): A Security and Smart Contract Engineer at Camp Network, Viraz is a pro in EVM and alternative VMs. With past gigs at Fuel Network, Shell Protocol, and InstaDapp, he's all about secure, efficient contracts. In a world where meme rugs are a risk, his expertise on smart contract security is gold.
The tweet also shouts out @RollAMate (the handle for EVVM, focusing on vertical scaling) and @campnetworkxyz, so keep an eye out for their contributions during the presentations.
Why This Matters for Meme Token Fans
Stablecoins like USDC or USDT are the safe havens in the volatile meme token market—they let you trade without getting wrecked by price swings. DeFi innovations, from automated market makers (AMMs) to MEV blockers like those from CoW DAO, make it easier to launch and hype memes without front-running bots milking your trades. Events like this are where the future gets shaped, potentially leading to tools that boost adoption and reduce risks in the meme space.
