Rusty Pipes: smuggling Rust into npm

Why your supply chain has a Rust problem
[ TODO: DAX CONFIRM IF PITCHED / BOOKED ] · TBD
Proposed talk: extends the Rusty Pipes thesis into a generalised attacker model — Rust binaries inside JS/Python/Ruby package managers, why detection at the registry is the only durable answer. Status: proposed.
-
Compressed Tokens on Solana: the AMM playbook
[ TODO: DAX CONFIRM IF PITCHED / BOOKED (SOLANA BREAKPOINT? A LIGHT PROTOCOL-ADJACENT EVENT?) ] · TBD
Proposed talk: the zeraswap thesis. Why compressed tokens (Light Protocol) need a native AMM, what changes in the constant-product math when one side of the pair lives in a Merkle tree, and what failure modes show up in production. Status: proposed.
-
Building a ZK SDK Without a Cryptography PhD
[ TODO: DAX CONFIRM IF PITCHED / BOOKED ] · TBD
Proposed talk: the zera-sdk thesis. How an applied team gets to production-grade ZK using circomlib, Groth16, Neon-Rust bindings, and a Surfpool devnet — without re-implementing the math. The case for trusting canonical implementations and shipping. Status: proposed.
