The purpose of this workshop is to provide developers with an overview of how to build on Mantle, a modular Ethereum layer-2 blockchain designed for hyper-scalability. Lib will begin with an overview of the basics of Mantle, how it runs on the EVM, and how to get started with deploying smart contracts on Mantle. In the next section, participants will learn how to set up their development environment by installing necessary software such as Forge and connecting to Mantle. They will then learn about writing smart contracts using Solidity and testing them using Forge. Following that, participants will learn about deploying contracts to the network, including the different options available such as Forge script, ethers.js, and Remix. If time permits, advanced topics such as managing contract upgrades and migrations and using smart contract fuzzing tools such as Slither will be covered. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__GVH1jYEYs

Decentralization without chaos: how DAOs (and every other org) can effectively decentralize and make better decisions Decentralization has gotten a bad rap in Web3 -- and looking at the drama, chaos, and confusion rampant at many DAOs, you can understand why. Solving the chaos and confusion doesn't mean a return to centralization -- it's about getting decentralization right. We'll review why decentralization can work, what it actually means, and how to set your organization up for success by practicing two key principles. The talk will include practical examples and an exploration of ways that decentralization can make every aspect of our organizations (even product development!) more resilient, creative, and resourceful."
