InfraCon@EthCC shapes Web3 agenda at Paris's National Museum
With more than 40 speakers, 15 keynotes, and 4 panels deep-diving into Account Abstraction (ERC-4337), Wallet Infrastructure, and Zero Knowledge, the single-day conference proved a satisfying exploration into frontier web3 technology.
Building on the massive success of InfraCon@ETHSeoul in June, co-hosts Biconomy and Particle Network, along with main sponsor, Transak, took InfraCon to Paris for the largest European builder-based blockchain conference this year.
Impactful discussions around Account Abstraction, Wallet Infra and Zero Knowledge
At the prestigious National Museum of Natural History, the event attracted 1000+ attendees, including leaders from Consensys, Coinbase, Scroll, The Sandbox, Lens, Ceramic, and more. Web3 enthusiasts from all backgrounds — Founders, PMs, Technical Leads, Developers — piled into the Gallery of Evolution as talks and keynotes continued around Account Abstraction (ERC-4337), Wallet Infrastructure, and Zero Knowledge Technology.
InfraCon Part 1: Compelling conversations around web3 infrastructure, macro outlooks, and trending narratives

InfraCon Part 2: Empowering Developers with Technical Workshops
Technical Workshops on Account Abstraction, Wallet Infra, and Zero Knowledge kicked off in the second half of the day. Teams from Linea, zkSync, Taiko, OKX, Polyhedra, Biconomy x Polygon DevRels, Ceramic, Ethereum Foundation, Biconomy, Metamask (Moderator), Safe, Transak, Developer DAO, Candide Wallet, PUSH Protocol deep dived into their respective technologies.
Notable presentations included:
The most lively discussions took place on three distinct panel discussions:
1. Exploring the Boundaries of Zero-Knowledge - with speakers from Linea, zkSync, Taiko, OKX, and Polyhedra
2. Building Beyond Account Abstraction (ERC-4337) - with speakers from Ethereum Foundation, Biconomy, Metamask (Moderator), and Safe
The Account Abstraction panel successfully highlighted the role of wallet security in the DeFi ecosystem. They offered valuable insights into enhancing wallet security, addressing vulnerabilities, and improving user education. The panel also emphasized the potential benefits of adopting Smart Accounts for enhanced security measures. This discussion is crucial in driving the broader adoption of DeFi while ensuring the safety and protection of users' assets and data.
3. Fostering and Supporting Community to Build a Better Future by Biconomy x Developer DAO x Ankr
What the Event Attendees Said:
"I was really excited to see Lens, Karma3, and Ceramic on the same stage, you guys. This was awesome."
“I learned a lot more about Account Abstraction and Zero Knowledge today through the speakers you brought together. Amazing conference!”
“Content and organisation wise — this was the best side event conference at EthCC Paris. You can see each speaker’s thought process, and the auditorium setting was super professional. You’re setting great community standards, guys.”
