Who gets recognised as a person, an expert or a trustworthy source? The systems answering those questions deserve scrutiny. Sasha Shilina (@sshshln) researches emerging technologies at @Paradigm_hub Research Institute and co-founded @episteme_sci . Her work includes research on biometric identity and its cultural implications, alongside writing on AI and scientific knowledge. She joins Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 3 with questions that reach beyond technical performance: how do these systems affect participation, recognition and trust? Meet Sasha alongside advocates and builders examining the choices embedded in digital infrastructure. 2 Nov · Mumbai · Free entry congress.web3privacy.info/

Meet Andreas Tsamados, founder of one of best alternatives to Google Docs - @fileverse @miroyato is building open-source tools for private collaboration, including dDocs, an end-to-end encrypted document editor. The team also provides a way to retrieve documents independently if its hosted services become unavailable. For journalists and civil-society teams, that combines two everyday needs: keeping work confidential and retaining access to it. Meet Andreas Tsamados at Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 3 to explore tools that give organisations more control over their working environment. 2 Nov · Mumbai · Free entry congress.web3privacy.info/

Jordi Baylina (@jbaylina) x @ziskvm has helped build across donations, independent infrastructure, digital identity and cryptography. Now working on ZisK, Jordi Baylina develops open-source infrastructure for zero-knowledge proofs: tools that let software verify claims while limiting what information needs to be disclosed. That experience matters beyond blockchain development. More private credentials and independently verifiable systems need foundations other people can inspect and build upon. Jordi joins Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 3. 2 Nov · Mumbai · Free entry congress.web3privacy.info/

thank you for every individual and organisation contributing to privacy-focused fundraising.

An encrypted message can still reveal who is talking to whom. Sebastian Bürgel (@SCBuergel) founded @hoprnet to work on that problem. HOPR develops a decentralised mixnet designed to protect network metadata. Sebastian’s work with @GnosisDAO has also included introducing GnosisVPN, built on HOPR’s privacy infrastructure. For people handling sensitive communications, the connections around a message can matter as much as its contents. Meet Sebastian at Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 3 to explore how privacy research becomes infrastructure people can use. 2 Nov · Mumbai · Free entry congress.web3privacy.info/

Panel alert: Cypherpunk or Junk: Grading Ethereum's Roadmap There's a lot of talk in Ethereum-land about being cypherpunk, but does the roadmap actually reflect those values? Join @soispoke Thomas Thiery (@ethereumfndn), @SCBuergel (@gnosis_ / @hoprnet), @jimjim_eth (@warptoad_xyz) and @cheekygorilla0x (@ProtocolGuild, moderator) as they put the roadmap on trial and judge the upgrades by how cypherpunk they are. Which ones put more power in your hands, and which ones put it in someone else's? Expect stubborn realism, hard tradeoffs, and no hand-waving. Zero technical knowledge required! 2 nov, Cypherpunk Congress, Mumbai: congress.web3privacy.info
