Introduction to Aggregation
Aggregation is all about collaboration, and collaboration starts with conversation. Across three days of Agglayer-related events, core developers and thought leaders across the cryptoverse will probe the challenges and opportunities of interoperability and constructing a unified Web3. The goal is to bring industry leaders together in a collaborative, positive-sum environment, recognizing that the movement toward a unified industry is greater than any single project.
Aggregated Events at ETHDenver
A transient rundown of aggregated events during ETHDenver includes:
- AggCave: February 26 & 27, 8-5pm MST, featuring a coworking and whiteboard space to hobnob with big-brain builders, and a reverse dunk tank.
- AggDay: February 28, 8-6pm MST, featuring panels on alt-VMs increasing interop, DeFi interop, and a spicy L2 debate.
Speakers and Panels
Speakers will include technical sessions, talks, and collaborative panels from leading projects corresponding to Avail, Axiom, Aztec, Berachain, Brevis, Google, Hylé, L2Beat, Larange, Lita Foundation, Miden, Nil Foundation, NovaNet, Offchain Labs, OP Labs, Polygon Labs, RiscZero, The Rollup, Starkware, Succinct, Taiko, Thirdweb, and ZKsync. All community members are welcome, as cross-pollination is crucial to unity, and a more collaborative industry will herald latest users, builders, and founders.
Breaking Down Aggregation Day ETHDenver
AggDay brings together developers, researchers, and protocol teams for practical and meaningful discussions. The event will feature panels on L2s and interop, alt-VMs and the subsequent frontier in interop, and DeFi interop. Talks will include topics corresponding to bridge-and-call with ThirdWeb, benchmarking the pessimistic proof with Polygon Labs, and blobspace saturation on Ethereum with Avail.

- L2s and Interop: Moderated by Luca Donnoh from L2Beat, with panelists from Polygon Labs, Optimis, Arbitrum, Succinct, and ZKSync
- AltVMs and the Next Frontier in Interop: Moderated by The Rollup, with panelists from Movement, Aztec, Rome, and StarkWare
- DeFi Interop: Panelists from Polygon Labs, Taiko, Last Network, and Berachain
AggDay Talks

AggCave Breakdown
Cohosted with ZK Hack, AggCave is a snug hangout and workspace for devs to learn via osmosis and in-depth technical how-tos. The event will feature technical sessions and deep-dive explainers for builders who want to grasp how the magic happens. Guests from Nil Foundation, Avail, Novanet, and other projects and ecosystems will walk through details about prover networks, proof acceleration, and trust-optimized interoperability.
AggCave Day 1
Day 1 will concentrate on proof aggregation, alongside the coolness co-working space. Guests from Nil Foundation, Avail, Novanet, and other projects and ecosystems will walk through details about prover networks, proof acceleration, and trust-optimized interoperability.
AggCave Day 2
Day 2 is an exploration of zkVMs in an interoperable future. Along with core developer teams from Agglayer and Zisk, guests from Lita Foundation and Lagrange will talk about Custom ISAs, zkVM benchmarking, and ZK-coprocessors.
Conclusion
Aggregation is about coming together, and that begins by getting in the identical room and letting the magic of debate and collaboration occur. If you’re going to be at ETHDenver, stop by the AggCave and AggDay to grasp the frontier of crypto that’s coming into view on the horizon. If you’re not heading to Denver this 12 months, stay tuned for session recordings from Aggday and compensate for previous sessions. The way forward for Web3 is aggregated, and it’s an exciting time to be a component of it.
