Go has shaped modern backend development, but can it also power the next wave of decentralized applications? Gno extends Go into a deterministic execution environment, enabling developers to build smart contracts without learning a new language.

This talk explores why Go is an excellent fit for Web3, how Gno’s interpreted execution model enables composability, and what Go developers need to know to start contributing to decentralized applications. We’ll walk through the differences between Go and Gno, the trade-offs of deterministic execution, and real-world use cases where Gno is already reshaping governance and DAOs.

By the end, attendees will understand how Gno leverages Go’s simplicity to bridge traditional backend development with the decentralized future.

Target audience: Go developers, Web3 engineers, and backend developers curious about blockchain.
