Infra Gardens – Oasis for Web3 Infra Builders

Infra Gardens is a recurring flagship event that brings together a select group of founders, infrastructure builders, and developers from across ecosystems, verticals, and layers to network and exchange ideas. Thanks to engaging panels, vibrant networking opportunities, and scenic venues, the event has established itself as a nexus for Web3 infrastructure discussions.

Past editions in Paris and Istanbul drew over 1,300 attendees and featured speakers from leading ecosystems such as Polygon, Cosmos, and ZKSync.

In 2024, DIA co-hosted three Infra Gardens events alongside idOS, LI.FI, Kwil Network, Subsquid, Phala Network, and many other friends. Here are highlights from the events:

Infra Gardens Denver

The Ethereum Denver side event combined delicious catering, good music, a beautiful venue, and networking opportunities. It featured discussions on interoperability, DID (Decentralized Identity), and TEEs (Trusted Execution Environments).

This edition was hosted by idOS, DIA, Phala Network, Kwil, Secret Network, and LI.FI.

Infra Gardens Brussels

La Fabrique en Ville hosted builders, and developers across ecosystems as we dove into the trends in Brussels for the fourth edition of Infra Gardens.

Panels included discussions about RaaS (Rollup-as-a-Service) platforms, OpenFi infrastructure, DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure), and AI (Artificial Intelligence) in Web3.

Cohosted by idOS, Phala Network, Capx AI, Randamu, and Acurast, and presented by DIA, the EthCC side event assembled a standout lineup of speakers, establishing itself as the must-attend gathering for infrastructure builders and blockchain ecosystems.

Infra Gardens Bangkok

Infra Gardens Bangkok was unarguably one of the highlights of the Ethereum Foundation’s DevCon in Thailand.

Randamu, Protocol Labs, Kwil Network, and DIA hosted speakers from Celestia, Gelato Network, Lava Network, Hyperlane, and other top builders in discussions about the future of Web3 infrastructure.

The evergreen Gardens of Dinsor Palace, were the perfect location for the afternoon of engaging panels and networking with Web3 leaders.
