Panel: The Future of Digital Rights: Building the Capacity to Shape Our Future Digital rights are entering a decisive period. Internet restrictions are growing, AI is concentrating power over information and decision-making, and digital infrastructure increasingly shapes access to civic participation, economic opportunity, and freedom of expression. What can we do collectively to strengthen digital rights from access to open technologies to ecosystem sustainability? Participants: ✔️ @AyaMiyagotchi (President, @ethereumfndn) ✔️Faiz Naeem (Policy Analyst, Asia Pacific and Global Cyber Policy, @accessnow) ✔️moderator: @sam_roam (Consultant, Luminate Asia) 4000 people celebrating digital rights:

The age of Digital Assets and Digital Intelligence needs a bill of digital rights. My policy prescriptions for prosperity from a fireside chat with @BitcoinConner at @BitcoinPolicy’s Freedom Tech DC summit.

This is a sign that people are ready to celebrate digital rights! Experience Cypherpunk Congress as a festival full of concerts, talks, zines, workshops, artworks, conversations, design, insights, tools, visionary keynotes, stickers, and incredible individuals from all over the world.

BREAKING: 🇷🇺 Russia’s own version of the Crypto Clarity Act, “Digital Currencies and Digital Rights,” will take effect today. 1. Retail investors can buy up to ₽300,000 ($3,700) of crypto per year through each intermediary after passing a test. 2. Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT are the only cryptocurrencies retail investors can buy. Qualified investors face no cap. 3. Crypto exchanges must register with the Bank of Russia. 4. Companies can use crypto for cross-border payments without limits. 5. P2P remains legal but will face tighter controls, with stronger AML checks and increased bank monitoring of crypto transactions.

Volunteers are the most important people at our events. This great venue called Funkaus/Berlin 🇩🇪 calls for volunteers to streamline digital rights at the event we are organising on the 14th of June: We search for people who seek ✔️ unity in times of tribalism. ✔️ want to feel an impact when different camps talk and co-create with each other. Joy 🫧 of activism starts with you -> become our Berlin volunteer:

Justin Drake (@drakefjustin) is joining Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 3. A researcher at @ethereumfndn, Justin works on the protocol underlying Ethereum. Those technical foundations matter to everyone building applications and relying on the network. Congress brings that research into the same room as digital-rights advocates, privacy builders and communities asking what these systems should make possible. Mumbai · 2 November · Free entry

Danny O’Brien (@mala ) has spent decades defending people’s freedoms online. A former Director of Strategy at EFF and Senior Fellow at @FilFoundation, his work connects digital-rights advocacy with the development of a decentralised web. We’re glad to welcome someone with that experience to Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 3, bringing civil liberties into the conversation about the technology we build. Mumbai · 2 November · Free entry
