11-12, 16:20–16:30 (Asia/Bangkok), Stage 4

Producing high-quality developer tools for the Web3 ecosystem is a challenging task that requires significant effort (and funding). Many of the best and most used tools started out as a lone hackers side-project, and then evolved into longer-standing projects by being absorbed into a larger companies efforts. In this talk, we'll share RV's open-source tool development story, and discuss what a better future could look like.

Everett Hildenbrandt has spent over 6 years leading the technical direction for RV's software tooling. He is passionate about providing high-quality and consistent developer tooling for all programming languages that emphasizes usability and power. In his journey from studying physics to working on validating the safety of distributed Web3 applications, he's seen that formal methods can play a crucial role in improving the quality of software for everyone. During his time at RV, he's driven broa
