EVA Symposium III
About the event
EVA Research hosts the EVA Symposium III in Mumbai on Monday, November 2, 2026, from 10:00 to 16:00 IST during Devcon week. The formal academic and research symposium gathers leading cryptographers, computer scientists, and zero-knowledge researchers.
What to expect
The full-day symposium features peer-reviewed paper presentations, invited keynotes, and technical whiteboard panels:
- Formal verification of smart contracts and consensus state transition systems.
- Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machines (zkVMs): comparing proof recursion, lookup arguments, and constraint system efficiency.
- Cryptographic primitives for verifiable computation, polynomial commitments, and folding schemes.
- Open whiteboard workshops where researchers collaborate on unsolved problems in protocol security.
A catered luncheon and coffee breaks provide ample networking time between sessions.
Who should attend
The symposium is aimed at cryptography researchers, computer science faculty and graduate students, formal verification engineers, and zero-knowledge protocol architects.
Venue and schedule
The symposium takes place at a conference auditorium in Mumbai on Monday, November 2, from 10:00 to 16:00 IST.
Registration and admission
Attendance is free with registration approval required. Applicants are asked to share their academic affiliation, research papers, or GitHub profiles when requesting admission.
