Our goal at Unique is to achieve mass adoption through three pillars:

Ensuring user-friendliness by making NFTs and unique digital assets accessible to everyone, without requiring any prior crypto knowledge.
Providing a reliable infrastructure that enables brands and enterprises to easily integrate advanced NFT pallets into their applications, using JavaScript SDKs.
Encouraging interoperability through EVM, which will foster open ecosystems, including the incorporation of Ethereum-based NFTs into the Polkadot ecosystem. Our priority and work in progress is facilitating NFT transfers via XCM.

Latam Day is an event that highlights the developments of the ecosystem that are carried out in the continent, in addition to being an opportunity for Spanish speakers to know directly from the projects of the projects the latest developments. This activity is dynamized the ecosystems where it has been presented and this time we will discover the main values that have motivated us to continue carrying this knowledge of technology to the corners where the large conferences are not normally arrived.

Since OpenGov went live on Kusama Network in November 2022, the community’s approach towards governance has changed significantly. As expected, Kusama Network delivered its promise of bringing order out of chaos, and now, Polkadot Network is gearing up for the OpenGov upgrade. In this talk, you will be presented with the key changes to the governance model on Polkadot with the OpenGov upgrade, observations, and lessons learned on Kusama, and a summary of the general outlook of the community towards OpenGov governance model.

Regulatory compliant fully decentralised fundraising
Get the best from VC, private investors and the community
Community sourced due diligence

In this talk, I want to share our view of current trends & challenges in the interoperability domain. We will see that there is still a number of significant challenges to address and will propose a way forward that allows our industry to realize the bright cross-chain future.

Discover the world of Web3 Social and learn how to build decentralized applications with JavaScript. We will cover front-end development techniques and user-friendly design strategies to unlock the potential of Web3 platforms. You will learn about Subsocial technology and how it provides quick and simple coding experiences. Join us to embrace true decentralization and elevate your development skills with novel use cases.

Unique opportunities and challenges in the land of the rising sun for web3 companies, and how Astar positioned itself in there and went global.

Why decentralized storage matters for NFT metadata and your next NFT collection.

Decentralized, digital identity is a cornerstone for safe and compliant interaction in the digital realm. KILT uses DIDs and verifiable credentials (VC) to enable processes for creating, revealing and using self-sovereign identities.
Earlier this year, Deloitte announced their business model around creating reusable digital credentials built on KILT. This talk will give you an outlook how this might change regulatory compliance and identity verification for online businesses.

The Vara Network is a decentralized network built on Substrate and powered by the Gear Protocol. Vara delivers the speed and scalability required to meet the demands of modern Web3 development.

Polkadot is Polkadot and Ethereum is Ethereum? Well… not in the future. This talk explores how XCM and Substrate will shake up Ethereum and bring Polkadot’s innovations into Ethereum, and how Substrate could become the technology of choice for L2s and L3s. And how Ethereum will get intermingled with Polkadot in the process.

Building on the application layer, means utilizing the infrastructure at its fullest while abstracting it from the end user. We explore how gaming has broken the barrier in the past and how it is doing so today on Polkadot and Ajuna Network.

Mastering Cross-Chain Bridges
8 years ago the infamous “Bitcoin sidechains” paper laid out how trustless bridges are possible. Today, 99.9% of all bridges assets rely on centralized services. Surging demand has driven millions in VC money into the sector, funding dozens of competing protocols that compete in masking the same centralized technology behind crypto buzzwords and promising “paths to decentralization”. Threshold signatures, MPC, trusted hardware, optimistic bridges, ZK-proofs… yet behind the curtains: trusted multisigs. The recent announcement that the Altair Ethereum light client being is not secure and unusable for decentralized bridges sent an earthquake through the cross-chain industry. The already ongoing cold war for dominance among cross-chain bridges is becoming hot (see LayerZero <> Nomad attacks).

This talk cuts through buzzwords and explains why “cross-chain” is a hard problem, overviews the risks of using bridges ELI5-style, and provides an update on current landscape. Finally, we touch upon the long-awaited arrival of truly decentralized bridges – and why the holy grail may never be found.

This talk will summarize all the events, new developments and highlights of the past year. In the second part of the talk, we will also have a look at all the interesting stuff that is bound to happen within a next few months and why it puts Polkadot to a great position in the market.
