Title: Kolme Infra Workshop

Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Description: Kolme is a high-performance, secure-by-default framework that dramatically accelerates blockchain development. Built by developers for developers, it enables teams to go from idea to production faster - without compromising scalability, security, or performance.

We’re especially thrilled to be showcasing Kolme, our next-gen blockchain development framework, in front of a live audience.

Why it matters:

Time-to-market is everything - yet many teams remain creatively constrained by outdated blockchain development processes, rigid smart contract logic, and unreliable external data integrations. Kolme flips that script - allowing teams to build upon functional programming principles that minimize errors, in a custom-built environment, and reduce time-to-deployment significantly. 

Why you should care:

Whether you're a founder racing toward MVP, or a CTO drowning in technical debt caused by unsuitable smart contract logic and unreliable external data integrations - Kolme is built for you. It gives you more time to focus on shipping innovation, not fixing bugs and navigating architectural constraints.

Key Features:

• Dedicated Blockchains: Every Kolme app runs on its own public blockchain with on-demand block production. That means no blockspace congestion, no throughput bottlenecks - just instant, predictable execution built for performance at scale.
• Complete Customisability: Forget about transaction fees, execution limits, or waiting on block times. Kolme removes those constraints entirely, so your app runs fast, free, and without compromise.
• Build Everywhere with Rust: Build complex features and iterate quickly, without needing to rely on fitting your idea around unsuitable smart contract logic.
• Multichain by Default: Secure bridge contracts make your product accessible to users across blockchain ecosystems - without sacrificing safety or speed.
• External Chain Resilience: Kolme apps stay live even when other chains go down. External chains are only used for deposits and withdrawals, so your core product keeps running no matter what.
• Verifiable Transparency: Every action - is recorded on your app’s public blockchain. That means full auditability for users, validators, and external reviewers. Trust through transparency is built-in.

Title: Apex Fusion

Time: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

Description: Cross-Chain Interoperability – The Skyline Bridge:

This session explores how Skyline—a strategic partner of Apex Fusion—is redefining interoperability in the Cardano ecosystem. With the launch of the Skyline Bridge, wrapped $AP3X (cAP3X) tokens can now be deployed natively on Cardano. The discussion will focus on how this empowers cross-chain liquidity, real asset composability, and smoother integration between the EVM and UTxO models.

Key Topics:

- Technical design of the Skyline Bridge and dual-token architecture (cAP3X to native AP3X).

- How wrapped assets on Cardano can unlock new liquidity and utility.

- Use cases for builders and protocols seeking seamless multi-chain deployment.

- The strategic role of Apex Fusion as a fusion layer between ecosystems.

Title: Apex Fusion

Time: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Description: VECTOR – Transaction Speed and Performant Finality for Cardano & Institutional DeFi:

This session introduces VECTOR, Apex Fusion’s innovative approach to accelerating block finality and transaction throughput. VECTOR offers Cardano developers and institutional actors an entirely new execution environment designed for deterministic finality, while preserving decentralization.

Key Topics:

- How VECTOR delivers fast settlement times for native assets, smart contracts and Dapps.

- Benefits for institutions needing high-speed, high-assurance DeFi environments.

- Use cases in trading, lending, and settlement platforms.

- Future roadmap: Extending VECTOR's capability across DeFi and TradFi integrations.

Title: Apex Fusion

Time: 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Description: Liquidity & Yield Provision – Onboarding Institutions & DeFi:

A practical session on how Apex Fusion is creating real-world yield opportunities by bridging institutional players and DeFi protocols. The panel will highlight Apex Fusion's native staking (liquid and non-custodial), reputation systems, and upcoming institutional partnerships that aim to scale sustainable liquidity into the Cardano and Apex ecosystems.

Key Topics:

- How DeFi protocols can tap into institutional liquidity via Apex Fusion.

- Reputation-weighted rewards and stable staking incentives.

- Token utility design for long-term liquidity health.

- Building compliant, yield-generating pathways for TradFi players on-chain.

Title: Hiero Workshop

Time: 10:15 AM - 11:15 AM

Description: From Zero to DLT: How Hiero empowers everyone to build and use decentralized networks.

Hiero is the first 100% vendor-neutral, open-source Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) stack used to build the Hedera network. Next to the public Hedera network Hiero enables everybody to set up a public or private network on their own today. In this session, we will demonstrate how easy it is to set up a Hiero based network today. Following that, we will create a simple application connected to the created network using one of our SDKs.

Title: FireFly Workshop

Time: 11:15 AM - 12:15 AM

Description: Launch Your Own Multi-Chain Stablecoin with Hyperledger Firefly, a LF Decentralized Trust project.

Stablecoins are becoming the foundation of modern digital finance—but building and deploying one across chains is still harder than it should be. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to launch your own multi-chain stablecoin using Hyperledger FireFly. An LF Decentralized Trust project, it is the first open source orchestration engine designed for real-world tokenization, multi-protocol interoperability, and enterprise-grade development. 

Led by Kaleido Principal Engineer for Digital Assets and Hyperledger FireFly maintainer, Andrew Richardson, along with Kaleido technical enablement lead Trevor Scanlon, this session will walk you through the full lifecycle of a stablecoin deployment—including minting tokens, managing token pools, coordinating off-chain business logic, and integrating with multiple networks. You’ll also explore how Hyperledger FireFly enables real-time visibility and indexing—critical capabilities for production-grade deployments. 

Hyperledger FireFly was developed to simplify the hard parts—identity, events, messaging, and orchestration—so you can get solutions live faster. Expect live demos, real workflows, and a preview of the tools you need to build a stablecoin that’s ready for the market. 

Title: Paladin Workshop

Time: 1:15 PM - 2:15 PM

Description: Composable Finance for DeFi Builders: Introducing Paladin, an LF Decentralized Trust Lab.

As financial institutions move from pilot projects to production, and DeFi ecosystems push to interoperate with traditional finance, privacy has become the critical unlock for global digital asset adoption. In this hands-on workshop, Kaleido introduces Paladin: Programmable Privacy for EVM, an LF Decentralized Trust lab. Purpose-built for secure, composable, and confidential on-chain transactions, Paladin is the missing piece institutional DeFi has been waiting for. 

Join Kaleido’s Principal Engineer for Digital Assets and Paladin maintainer, Andrew Richardson, along with technical enablement lead Trevor Scanlon, to explore how Paladin enables atomic settlement across token types, shields counterparties and values, and integrates directly with any unmodified EVM chain. You’ll learn how Paladin supports everything from regulated stablecoins to experimental ZKP-backed tokens—and how it tackles the core question of trust in DeFi: can you transact without revealing too much? 

Already in use by over 20 central banks and 100+ commercial banks, Paladin is powering privacy-preserving finance at global scale. We’ll walk through real-world deployments, show

how Paladin supports compliance without compromise, and demo how it fits seamlessly into your stack. 

Come for the code. Leave with the key to unlocking the future of finance.
