Schedule for Litecoin Summit on May 29 unveiled
The Litecoin Foundation is set to host the Litecoin Summit in Las Vegas from May 29-30, with the event scheduled at Harrah's Hotel. This annual gathering will assemble developers, investors, and blockchain professionals to discuss recent advancements in Litecoin and broader crypto trends.
The summit commences on the 29th, with registration starting at 8:00 am in the Nevada Ballroom. The proceedings kick off at 9:00 am with opening remarks from Marty Simpson, followed by an update from Litecoin creator Charlie Lee on the state and future direction of the network.
Day one's agenda predominantly emphasizes technical updates and security. Notably, developer Loshan will introduce a new project, Nexus, tied to Litecoin's tech stack. Dr. Kapil Amarasinghe will discuss BasicswapDex, a decentralized exchange platform.
Jameson Lopp, a Bitcoin security expert, will deliver a talk on personal security, focusing on real-world attack vectors. Back-to-back panel discussions will explore current trends in merged mining and the increasing interest in crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs). A fireside chat between Valkyrie's Steven McClurg and journalist Eleanor Terrett is scheduled, along with presentations on stablecoins and remittances by Wei Zhou. Unstoppable Domains' Sandy Carter will close the morning with a session on digital identity and Litecoin's role in it.
Despite a general lunch break from 1:00 to 2:30 pm, a parallel session titled "Unstoppable Women of Web3 & AI" will take place in a separate room. This panel, focusing on women's representation and work in blockchain and artificial intelligence, features Carter, Terrett, María Laura Tardivo, and Brenda Gentry.
The afternoon block returns to tech-focused discussions, including a panel on the usability of self-custody tools and a presentation from Sonny Singh on a new project called Beluga. One slot remains unspecified, with organizers hinting at a potential product announcement or guest speaker. The day will conclude with a keynote featuring John D'Agostino and Richard Jackson, followed by Simpson's closing remarks.
While the 2025 Litecoin Summit has a published schedule, the speaker roster and detailed topics for the 2023 Summit remain undisclosed at this time.
In a separate development, the G7 Summit will address North Korea's crypto hacks and cyber threats. This summit will explore measures to curb these activities and collaborate on international cooperation in cybersecurity issues.
