Reimagining Layer 0: New Worlds and Ancient Philosophies by Dev Lewis | Devcon SEA
Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM
Where the early internet was an expression of freedom, liberty, and democratising virtual spaces, etc. Today, our digital spaces are breaking and have not met that promise. The Web3 space also faces scams, degen behaviour, and capture by centralised actors. How do we guide Ethereum to stay aligned with human values as we build a new world? Revisiting ancient Asian philosophies can help us reimagine a new world from Layer0.
