Cross-chain bridges enable value transfer between distributed ledgers. This talk explores the design space of cross-chain bridges. Specifically, it considers bridges across the following spectrums: centralized - trustless, standard - fast. We briefly explain the mechanics of trustless ZK-bridges, i.e., a recent and important development in bridge design. Furthermore, we discuss the impact of chain forks and reorgs on the security and performance of cross-chain bridges, both in layer 1 to layer 1 and layer 1 to layer 2 settings.
We explain how an attacker could take advantage of an L1 network reorg to steal assets from the impacted L2 network if there are no protection mechanisms in place. Finally, we present a mitigation strategy that addresses this issue.

The threat of centralization is always a risk to systems, even decentralized ones. DVT or Distributed Validator Technology is at the forefront of solving the risk of centralization to the Ethereum validator set. Join us in a conversation about DVT, its use cases, and the implications of its use overtime to Ethereum.

Many DAOs have a written rule-set on which they base decision-making. This is often called a constitution, but can also go by another name (manifesto, operating agreement, charter, or even simply white paper).
In this workshop, we will cover various questions and aspects related to DAO constitutions, such as:
Why does a DAO need/want a DAO constitution?
