🔐 Session 1 - Aurora Poppyseed: FHE & Confidential Smart Contracts
Aurora Poppyseed, DevRel at Zama, breaks down how Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is finally bringing confidential smart contracts to the EVM ecosystem.
Public blockchains have historically failed at confidentiality, exposing all data by default. In this session, we will explore how fhEVM allows developers to run computations on encrypted data without ever decrypting it - unlocking use cases from private transfers to blind auctions.
💡 We'll cover:

• The Privacy Gap: Why current encryption methods (like MPC) aren't enough for fully confidential dApps.
• FHE on EVM: How the "Universal Key" concept allows encrypted states (euint32, ebool) to exist on-chain.
• The ERC-7984 Standard: A look at the new standard for Confidential Tokens and how it differs from traditional ERC-20s.
• Architecture: Understanding the Host Chain, Coprocessor, and Gateway model.
• Real-World Use Cases: Building blind auctions, confidential voting systems, and encrypted DIDs.

₿ Session 2 - Oren Zomer: TimeLock Recovery for Bitcoin Backup
Oren Zomer, Founder at RITREK, dives into Bitcoin wallet recovery - specifically how to set up a structured recovery path from a primary wallet to a secondary wallet, and what BIP-128 enables in this context.
💡 We'll cover:

• TimeLock Recovery: How to define a time-delayed fallback path between a primary and secondary Bitcoin wallet.
• BIP-128 & What It Unlocks: The scripting primitives that make conditional recovery possible.
• Practical Backup Architecture: Designing resilient, self-sovereign custody setups using Bitcoin Script.
