The ERC-4337 team just dropped an exciting announcement on X about their upcoming Trustless Conference, set for November 18th and 19th, 2025, during Devconnect. This two-day event dives deep into Ethereum's foundational principles and the road ahead for trustless interoperability, which basically means making different Ethereum layers work together smoothly without needing to trust third parties.
If you're in the blockchain space—whether you're building meme tokens or diving into DeFi—this conference could be a game-changer. Meme tokens often live on various Ethereum rollups, and better interoperability could make cross-chain swaps and interactions way easier, boosting liquidity and fun for everyone involved.
The event kicks off on Day 1 (November 18) with a focus on the Ethereum Interop Layer (EIL). Think of EIL as a smart setup that lets you execute actions across different rollups without compromising security or decentralization. It's all about making Ethereum feel like one unified chain again.
One highlight? Yoav Weiss (@yoavw) from the ERC-4337 team will reveal the design of the Ethereum Interop Layer. He'll break down how this tech preserves Ethereum's core values while simplifying user experiences.
Day 2 (November 19) shifts gears to the broader interoperability landscape and the idea of credible neutrality—ensuring systems stay unbiased and verifiable.
Vitalik Buterin (@VitalikButerin), Ethereum's co-founder, will speak right after the release of the Trustless Manifesto. He's been vocal about trustlessness being the bedrock of blockchain, quoting: "Trustlessness is the foundation. Everything else is construction on top of it." As one of the first signers, his insights will likely tie into why this matters for the ecosystem's long-term health.
Next up, Bartek Kiepuszewski (@bkiepuszewski) from L2Beat will discuss their new risk framework for cross-chain interoperability. This tool helps developers and users spot potential risks and trust tradeoffs in platforms and protocols, which is crucial for anyone deploying meme tokens across layers.
There's also a fireside chat with Tomasz Stanczak (@tkstanczak), Co-Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, and @ThewizardofPOS. They'll chat about the Foundation's mission, values, and the grind of steering Ethereum's vision.
Steven Goldfeder (@sgoldfed), CEO and co-founder of Arbitrum, will share updates on Offchain Labs' intent engine for Arbitrum and Ethereum. This could revolutionize how intents—user requests for actions—are handled across ecosystems.
The conference wraps with panels that get real about trust and privacy. One panel asks: Who do you trust in cross-chain actions? Featuring experts like Hart Lambur (@hal2001) from Across Protocol, Yoav Weiss, Fredrik Reuterhall (@fredrik0x) from the Ethereum Foundation, Peter Watts (@ptrwtts) from Relay Protocol, and Bartek Kiepuszewski. They'll dissect user risks and what true trustlessness demands.
Another panel tackles privacy in onchain finance, a hot topic for TradFi entering blockchain. With Tom Teman (@tomteman) and Fredrik Reuterhall from the Ethereum Foundation, Arik Galansky (@arik_g) from Fireblocks, and banking pros, they'll explore why transparency can be a hurdle and how privacy tech could bridge the gap.
For meme token creators and enthusiasts, this event underscores how Ethereum's evolution impacts your projects. Better interop means more seamless meme trading across chains, potentially sparking the next viral trend.
