Welcome to E4so uh fourth edition. Uh yes, yes, please a little bit cheer up. Give us a little bit confidence. My name is Lucas. Uh this is Monica.

So uh we are here on the fourth edition of E4so. So raise your hand. Who's here for the fourth time with us? Is there anyone like this? Okay, few hands other than E4O crew.

Just one. Okay, that's fine. That's good.

So, uh we're happy to open the next edition of E4so. So,

yes. Uh so, this year wasn't the easiest one. This was our fourth conference, but actually I think that might be the hardest one to organize. Uh when the whole Ethereum community celebrated 10 years of Ethereum, we actually made a tough decision because we are deciding if we want to organize this conference or if we want to cancel it.

Yeah. Um it was a very tough one. Even though you know we're apparently in a bull market, it we didn't feel it this way. So uh we were on the verge of uh making decision to cancel the conference this year. Uh but you know as the word says we had to believe in something and we believed in the community.

We believed in the partners that are with us every year uh or you know other years. Uh we believed in the the contributors of uh of E4so who are with us. Uh we have a great team. So yeah, here we are for the fourth time uh because we believe in something and uh and hopefully this is going to be uh another great um edition of this conference. So um what to expect in 2025 uh in Warso.

Um so we have four conference tracks uh mass adoption, financial freedom, infrastructure and resilience. We have uh 80 uh sessions including all the talks and panels.
