Why It’s Different

Proof of Talk embraces a boutique, high-quality format.
It blends the cultural prestige of its Louvre location with modern tech discourse.
The summit aims for real-world outcomes through deep collaboration—not flashy marketing.

Post-Cetus Relaunch: Why Timing Matters

This is Proof of Talk’s first major in-person appearance since the May Cetus Protocol exploit on the Sui network. The incident highlighted Web3’s security risks. Now the summit becomes a timely platform for open discussions on trust, infrastructure integrity, and collaborative oversight.
