May 13, 2025 - Toronto, Canada – From May 14–16, Polkadot will make its presence felt during Consensus 2025 in Toronto, spotlighting the future of modular blockchain infrastructure and showcasing projects spanning DeFi, Gaming, digital identity, AI, and beyond. With more than 600 active projects and over 1.4 million DAO participants, Polkadot is powering a new era of Web3 at scale.
Visitors to Consensus will get an up-close look at how Polkadot’s modular and interoperable architecture supports cutting-edge use cases and real-world adoption. With an industry-leading 623k+ max transactions per second (TPS), Polkadot is enabling the next generation of high-performance blockchain applications through innovations like Agile Coretime, Polkadot Hub, and JAM—its next-gen protocol for modular, onchain coordination.
“We’re excited to join the Polkadot community at Consensus Toronto,” said Angie Darrow, CMO of Web3 Foundation. “It’s a unique chance to connect face-to-face with the builders, entrepreneurs, and innovators who are pushing Web3 to new heights. We’re ready for the energy, the new ideas, and the collaborations that will shape what’s next.”
Parity Technologies, the core development team behind Polkadot, will be represented on stage at Consensus by Dave Sedacca. With a background in crypto since 2017, Sedacca brings deep expertise in strategic planning, treasury management, and institutional engagement. His talk will explore funding frameworks, onchain treasury design, and how to build sustainable economic models in Web3.
