Cosmoverse, the largest Interchain conference, is returning for its fourth installment and is heading to Dubai from October 21 - 27, 2024. Cosmoverse provides the opportunity for new projects and builders to connect with enterprises, institutions, governments, and other like-minded individuals. The conference aims to build on last year by connecting the Cosmos community to other ecosystems and tracks to increase the synergy between different networks.
“We’re excited to bring Cosmoverse to Dubai, after emerging as a prominent global hub for crypto. The UAE is set on becoming the place for builders in the space. We want to leverage this region's relentless pursuit of cutting-edge technology to educate on the growing Interchain ecosystem and its role in connecting independent chains. Cosmoverse is about celebrating how far we’ve come and showcasing what we’re building next. By expanding the tracks this year to feature topics such as AI, DePINs, and Tokenization, Cosmoverse is elevating industry standards.” – Juri Maibaum, Co-Founder of Cosmoverse.
Cosmoverse has a history of being hosted in cities that are full of opportunity, with communities that can bring value to the Interchain ecosystem. In a report published by Bitget in April, there are 500,000 daily traders currently in the Middle East. Of these 500,000, The UAE leads in adoption per capita, with peak daily active users reaching 106,111 in 2024. This year Cosmoverse has also partnered with Emirates, to bring Cosmonauts from all over the world to the conference.
The growth, development, and diversity of the Dubai crypto community reflect the core tenets of the Interchain ecosystem. As seen in Messari’s Q1 report, Cosmos continues to evolve. Interchain Security has advanced with the introduction of a new model called Partial Set Security. Additionally, the Total Value Locked (TVL) for the first two chains secured by Cosmos Hub’s Replicated Security, Neutron, and Stride, continue to increase quarter on quarter.
Celestia’s launch in October 2023 and its subsequent success, have led to considerable growth in the interchain ecosystem. The concept of modular building now has a shining success story as it provides a logical solution to the blockchain trilemma and Cosmoverse is keen to highlight this in Dubai.
The five-day conference is expected to see over 2000 attendees listening to various speakers, panels, and workshops focused on recent Interchain developments. Following on from last year, crypto projects outside of the Cosmos ecosystem are welcome to support and encourage an interoperable multichain future.
Headline speakers include: Sunny Aggarwal, Co-Founder of Osmosis, Dr. David Tse Co-Founder of Babylon & John Patrick Mullin, Co-Founder of MANTRA
Cosmoverse will also bring the developer community together for its second Hackmos, a Cosmos hackathon hosted on October 25 - 27. Developers will collaborate on software innovations that will underpin the growth of the Cosmos ecosystem.
Cosmoverse is the culmination of a host of community-building events worldwide in cities such as Berlin, Seoul, Athen, Medellín, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, New York & Dubai. These gatherings have brought together the different Cosmos communities in the run-up to Cosmoverse.
Ticket prices will start at $99, making Cosmoverse one of the most inclusive events in the crypto space.
