Geode Finance co-founder Simon Furlong will be in Paris for one of the largest Ethereum events of the year.

Liquid Staking in the City of Lights

The saga of our conference travels continues, and now we’re back in Paris, France, for Europe’s largest annual Ethereum gathering. EthCC is a pivotal event for professionals and builders seeking to educate, collaborate, and resolve challenges in the rapidly evolving blockchain ecosystem.

Attending events like this is essential for Geode, as it allows us to demonstrate and explain our unique liquid staking library in person. With our launch on Ethereum just around the corner, this year’s conference will present unparalleled opportunities for Geode to connect with potential partners, and the wider staking community as well.

A Hub for Collaboration

These conferences are always big events on our calendars, as they provide the perfect environment for networking and establishing stronger connections within the industry. In a space where digital communication is the norm, the opportunity to interact face-to-face is invaluable. A single meeting at EthCC can propel partnerships or investment opportunities to new heights, and participants are motivated to forge new relationships and conduct business, to make the most of their time and resources spent attending the event.

This applies to us too of course, so we are aiming to meet with as many people as possible, in order to illustrate the various benefits that Geode can provide to projects, institutions, and node operators. Our public and private staking pool architecture enables these diverse entities to reap the rewards of liquid staking, and our quick integration process ensures a seamless start for node operators.

EthCC 2023 will consist of four intense days of conferences, networking and learning.

Geode’s Liquid Staking: Empowering Decentralization

Geode’s fully customizable staking pools not only empower organizations with sustainable revenue streams, but also enhance validator diversity on the network. Furthermore, we give pool owners full control over their staking pool, thereby eliminating the third party risks associated with centralized staking solutions. Our adaptable public and private pool architecture allows pool owners to implement restricted access, set fees, or offer their own branded liquid staking derivative token — the choice is theirs.

Geode’s public pools empower organizations to launch a bespoke liquid staking solution, with full authority over fees, node operators, and even their own unique staking derivative. Alternatively, they can opt not to provide a derivative. On the other hand, Geode’s private pools offer a more secure alternative for projects and institutions, where only pre-approved addresses can stake, paving the way for innovative new applications. Private pools enable organizations to stake treasury funds, conduct KYC/AML checks, or establish exclusive staking pools while maintaining complete control over access.

Geode unlocks new revenue streams for organizations, & brings staking yields to your community.

Node operators can also reap the rewards of Geode’s ecosystem. Our marketplace serves as a bridge between node operators and organizations, making discovery and utilization of each other’s services effortless. Once integrated, node operators are a part of Geode’s staking infrastructure, consistently presenting them with new opportunities to grow. Ultimately, Geode’s infrastructure is a win-win for both node operators and organizations, offering a streamlined and effective way to unite their efforts.

EthCC 2023: Blockchain Innovation Takes Center Stage

Since 2018, Ethereum France, a leading non-profit organization mainstreaming blockchain and Ethereum in all French-speaking countries, has hosted EthCC — an annual event that has grown to become Europe’s largest Ethereum event focused on technology and community. Taking place at Maison de la Mutualité and Collège des Bernardins in Paris, this year’s EthCC promises to be a powerful call to action, inviting developers, investors, policymakers, and others to unite and address crypto’s most complex challenges while unlocking its transformative potential.

The conference hosts more than 250 speakers coming from all over the world.

Throughout the four-day event, attendees can immerse themselves in an extensive range of content, encompassing all aspects of the crypto world. The agenda features a wide variety of events, such as traditional keynote speeches, workshops, an after party, and much more.

As usual, this year’s conference boasts an outstanding array of speakers from diverse organizations across blockchain, TradFi, and other sectors. This year’s event includes Vitalik Buterin, Co-Founder of Ethereum; David Hoffman from Bankless; Sergey Nazarov, the Co-Founder of Chainlink; Tim Beiko from the Ethereum Foundation; and Austin Adams from Uniswap Labs. The remarkable speaker lineup highlights the conference’s importance as a must-attend event for anyone involved in the blockchain space.
