Ambire's recap of Devconnect ARG

The final, and possibly biggest event of the year for Ambire was Devconnect ARG, which took place in late November 2025 in Buenos Aires. We had a booth, multiple speaking opportunities, and attended a variety of side events - and we have summarized all of it for you in this article.

Ethereum’s World Fair

This year’s Devconnect was really something else! Not following the format from previous years of a co-working space and many side events, this year it saw Ethereum’s World Fair take over La Rural, a stunning expo center in Buenos Aires, for a whole week!

It featured talks, app showcases (there were more than 80 exhibiting teams across eight dedicated districts for DeFi, Privacy, L2s, Decentralized Social, Hardware & Wallets, AI, Gaming, and Art), community hubs, and over 40 events all within the same space, with 500+ community events taking place across Buenos Aires. Over 14,000 people from more than 130 countries attended Devconnect ARG for amazing insights into Ethereum.

Ambire was chosen to be amongst the showcased apps. We had a spacious booth where we could do in-person user interviews, demos, and get feedback on the wallet, talk about EIPs, smart accounts, privacy, and interoperability, and hand out some amazing swag:

Many people had actually seen the demo of Kohaku (a prototype privacy wallet built on Ambire and developed by the Ethereum Foundation and a number of teams, incl. ours), by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin the day before the main event during Еthereum Cypherpunk Congress 2. Following this, loads came to congratulate us, meet the team, and hear more about how privacy and interoperability layer features will likely be introduced by Ambire first. Do you notice any similarities below?

We also got a slot on the Ethereum World Fair stage to talk about the adoption of smart accounts following EIP-7702 earlier this year. Ambire’s Marketing Manager Nadia Ivanova-Banda took to the stage to look at how the Ethereum landscape is changing a little bit at a time with every EIP and how these are not universal solutions to UX issues, adoption, etc, but part of a steady progress to improve the status quo. She also talked how Ambire users are already seeing the difference in their wallets thanks to gas abstraction, limited approvals, etc.

Devconnect Community Hubs

The team actively participated in Community Hubs throughout the main event. Developers Bobby and Kalo volunteered and spoke at the Account Abstraction hub, where they met tons of other smart account enthusiasts and looked at Account Abstraction in practice:

On the non-technical side, Nadia led a discussion on security breaches from recent history and lessons learned from them in the Women in Web3 Hub during the womxn webprivacy takeover of the hub:

trustless:// conference

As part of Devconnect, a 2-day trustless:// conference powered by the Ethereum Foundation (EF) also took place in La Rural. It was focused on exploring how EIL (Ethereum Interoperability Layer), ERC-4337 and other interop protocols extend the guarantees of Ethereum’s openness, censorship resistance and trustlessness, and featured speakers like Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, Yoav Weiss (security researcher at EF), Tomasz Stanczak (co-executive director at the EF), a number of other EF team members, and most importantly, Ambire’s CEO Ivo Georgiev, amongst others.

Here is a taster of Ivo’s talk and demo during trustless:// explaining why we need to make the wider Ethereum ecosystem feel like one chain (watch the whole video here):

Together with Ofir Eliasi from Stitch, Ivo showcased the new EIL SDK and how it provides easy building blocks that allow advanced flows and user-centric DeFi. You can watch the full video here:

Honourable mentions

There were hundreds of side events, and we tried our best to attend as many as possible. We particularly enjoyed WalletCon by WalletConnect. There we met loads of fellow enthusiasts building the future of onchain finance. We enjoyed insightful keynotes and panels, as well as meaningful networking!

Another great event was DuneCon25 by Dune. There were plenty of talks, panels, and workshops around the future of DeFi, onchain data, and how to use it to tell stories (yes, a panel for marketers too, not just data geeks), prediction markets, etc.
The team, as is now tradition, also attended Builder nights by MetaMask and enjoyed it, too:

And finally, is it a crypto event week without rAAVE by Aave? Nothing like a night with delicious cocktails, good music, good vibes, and strictly no networking on the dance floor to rest and reset for the rest of the week:

In conclusion

What a spectacular finale to 2025! After a busy and very productive trip to Buenos Aires for Devconnect, we don’t stop here. We’re already planning events for 2026 - keep your eyes peeled for what we have in store for ETHDenver, EthCC[9] in Cannes, and more.
