Touch Grass, Not Contracts 🌿 | Security Researchers' Walk
You can spend four days collecting conference contacts—or 45 minutes actually getting to know a few security people.
A free 45-minute waterfront walk. No stage, no microphone, no forced networking. Come on your own—it's normal here.
Who is this for?
Auditors, bug hunters, smart-contract security researchers, protocol engineers, and security-curious Devcon ticket holders. Everyone is welcome regardless of gender or experience.
Why come?
Find fellow researchers, compare real lessons from hacks and audits, and start conversations that aren't another panel Q&A.
Conversation starter (optional): What's one security red flag you wish every DeFi user understood?

Tickets and joining
This walk is FREE and registration is open without a fixed attendance cap. A valid Devcon 8 ticket is required to participate. The RSVP does not provide a Devcon ticket. Confirm that you hold one in the sign-up form; never upload your QR code or wallet secrets.
Please be considerate: Respect pedestrians, other attendees and different paces; no unsolicited pitches. We'll stay in public pedestrian areas and avoid traffic lanes and unsafe shoreline sections. If weather, access or route checks require a change, registered guests will receive updated joining details in Luma.
Hosted independently by Veerendra Vamshi (Proof of Audits). Not an official Devcon or Ethereum Foundation event.
