In this live coding workshop, Sacha Lansky, dev advocate will guide you through how to get started with developing your first p2p application on Koii.

1:30 PM
Building a Self-Sovereign Social Network with MOTI

Join us to explore how MOTI is leveraging Koii's computational power and collective intelligence to build a self-sovereign social network. Learn how we can immortalize human achievements and successes as verifiable credentials, creating a digital identity that's truly owned by the individual. Discover how you can participate in this journey, contribute to the network, and help build a decentralized future.

​2:00 PM

​2:40 PM
The Big Joke of pump.fun

"How I hacked pump.fun and how I didn't get away with it" with Staccoverflow.

​3:00 PM
Securing peer to peer applications with cryptographic signatures (without blockchains!)

Al Morris, Founder and CEO of Koii: Peer-to-peer apps are hard to scale if everything has to go on-chain. Instead, Koii provides tools for building verifiable and immutable applications with off-chain verifiability and tooling.

​This workshop covers everything you need to get started, and gives you the key pieces to build your product right from day one.

​3:30 PM
Protocol building on Koii: how to build a new distributed protocol on Koii in under 2 hours in any language (without smart contracts)

Protocols are peer-to-peer networks that align interests via incentive mechanisms, cryptographic trust and distributed computing.

​The Koii framework and network of engaged node operators makes it easy to supercharge new protocol development, which we'll cover during this initial workshop.

​We'll also cover how mechanism design and feedback systems can be used to provide mission critical systems in a decentralized way.

​3:50 PM
Building virtuous cycles in tokenomics, how to crowdfund your application and build community before chasing investors.

Al Morris, Founder and CEO of Koii says crypto is being commercialized -- Koii is making crypto cypherpunk again

Stick around for refreshments, networking and light bites before we continue the day's agenda.
