Leona Hioki
After winning an award at the IPA Security Camp, he became involved in security and privacy from his university days. Since 2018, he has been part of the Plasma research community. Following an Ethereum Foundation Fellowship/Grant, he launched the INTMAX network based on his research achievements and continues to lead it to this day. INTMAX is Ethereum’s payment layer that can offer near-zero gas fees regardless of network congestion, while also providing privacy.
Sessions
High-speed EVM rollups prioritize performance and compatibility, but inevitably inherit the constraints of DA. Stateless approaches, by separating execution from state management, open up new possibilities, yet many open challenges remain.
Privacy has long been framed as a “cost of protection.” However, with the latest advances in cryptography and incentive design, protecting privacy is evolving into a mechanism for generating revenue. In this session, we will explore privacy mining, DataDAOs, and new yield models in DeFi, examining the intersection of privacy × profit. Attendees will gain insights into the future of privacy as a money-making product that users truly want.
