EthCC 2026Cannes, France · 9 episodes
How Hacken is Securing Web3 Beyond Audits
Security is number one when it comes to crypto, and it should be treated as such. The past few months just proved that.
The DeFi Model Institutions Actually Want
Our industry has survived plenty of challenges, and we are used to overcoming them. We sat down with David from Lotus to discuss how they plan to change DeFi for the better.
The Modular Hardware Wallet
Crypto has always had a sense of freedom about it. The freedom to transact whenever you want, on whatever chain you want, however you want. Keycard is taking this freedom to the next level - bringing modular hardware wallets to ordinary users.
Session and the Fight for Real Private Messaging
Privacy was never a trend. Privacy is a basic right that every human should have. Chris knows that. With Session, they are making privacy a priority for over 1.7 million users.
Open-source self-custody in the AI era
In the fifth episode from our EthCC run, we sat down with Jan Šetina from Trezor to talk about hardware wallets, open-source security, better backups, and the fact that self-custody still needs a human checkpoint.
Building Crypto For Institutions
Institutions are coming onchain - and that's not necessarily a bad thing since institutions = capital. The real question is: do we have the infrastructure to welcome them? We sat down with Sylvan Martin from SCRYPT and discussed everything they’ve built… and why.
Privacy Comes First, Always
As institutions are coming in, crypto is moving further away from Satoshi’s ideals… is that a good thing?
Is 2026 the year of the DOGE?
DogeOS is the app layer for Dogecoin, built to give Doge users more to do than just hold DOGE or leave it sitting on exchanges. Stablecoins, DeFi, games, AI tools, consumer apps, all of that becomes important once Dogecoin has rails around it.
Onramps, stablecoins & regulations
This market is crowded, and trust is starting to separate serious players from the rest, especially with onboarding solutions. We talked about MiCA as part of that shift, a cleaner rulebook for companies trying to build real infrastructure, at a time when fraud is getting smarter across both TradFi and crypto.
