Flashbots to Discuss MEV at AltLayer’s Web3 Event in Cannes

Flashbots, a prominent player in the blockchain space, is set to join AltLayer’s (Re)fundamentals event during EthCC 2025 in Cannes. The event, scheduled for July 2 at Canopy by Hilton, will run from 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM and will focus on revisiting the foundational ideas of Web3. Daniel Marzec, a key figure at Flashbots known for his research on Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), will be a featured speaker. His insights will delve into the benefits and challenges of scaling blockchains while maintaining decentralization and equity.

The (Re)fundamentals event is designed to be a high-level forum that encourages developers, founders, and academics to engage in discussions about the core principles of Web3. The event will feature a lineup of leading minds in the industry, including Tomasz Stanczak from the Ethereum Foundation, Ed Felten from Offchain Labs, and Sota Watanabe from Astar Network. The discussions will center around modular blockchain innovation, real-world decentralization concerns, and the creation of robust systems from the ground up.

Marzec’s participation is particularly significant as he will bring deep insights into MEV dynamics and their role in blockchain scalability. As Web3 infrastructure becomes increasingly modular, understanding how MEV operates across rollups and bridges is crucial. Marzec will present actionable ideas on minimizing MEV without compromising network throughput, making his session a must-attend for developers and researchers.

In addition to Flashbots, the event will feature other high-profile Web3 ecosystem builders. Speakers will include Shiv Shankar from Boundless, Mike Silagadze from EtherFi, and Amrit Kumar from AltLayer. The gathering will offer a mix of applied theory and real-world problem-solving, with discussions on topics such as zkRollup work, liquid staking innovation, and multichain layer strategies. Questions like “Can scaling ever be fair?” and “Is censorship resistance scalable?” will be unpacked, providing attendees with clarity and next steps.

The event will begin with food and networking opportunities at 11:30 AM, setting the tone for a day of learning and community insight. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early for exclusive merchandise and networking. The (Re)fundamentals event is expected to set the stage for deeper conversations throughout EthCC 2025, with Flashbots’ themes echoing across subsequent events and workshops. As modular chains continue to grow, the focus on MEV fairness and transparency will remain critical. The conversation starts on July 2 in Cannes, with builders who still believe in the fundamentals of Web3.
