SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, 29 September 2026 – Bitroot, the parallelized EVM Layer 1 built as the execution layer for the machine economy, is at GWDC 2026 Korea this week as a platinum sponsor, with a main stage keynote from chief executive Juan José, a main stage panel appearance, and a booth running across both days of the conference.
GWDC 2026 Korea, organised by Web3Labs, takes place on 29 and 30 September at the aT Center in Seoul. Organisers expect more than 5,000 attendees, over 100 speakers and more than 100 exhibitors across a main stage, an innovation stage, a booth zone and a 48 hour hackathon. The conference positions itself as a developer summit at the intersection of Web3 and AI rather than a single-vertical crypto event.
Bitroot’s main stage keynote sets out the company’s central argument: that the next wave of demand on public blockchains will come from machines rather than people. More than half of internet traffic is already generated by automated agents, and as those agents begin to transact with each other, they need an identity they own, a way to pay in fractions of a cent, a way to prove their work, and settlement that completes in under a second. Bitroot is built around those four requirements.
“Korea is one of the most active developer markets in the world, and GWDC is a conference for builders rather than traders. That is exactly where we want to be right now. We are past the stage of needing attention and into the stage of needing builders.”
– Juan José, Chief Executive Officer, Bitroot
Alongside the main conference, Bitroot is a sponsor of the official GWDC afterparty, House of Web3 | Moonlighting Night, on the evening of 30 September. The invitation-only event is hosted by BOO UP together with Web3Labs and co-hosted by GWDC, and brings together project founders, exchanges, investors, media and community leaders. Juan José will also speak at the event.
During the conference Juan José gave live interviews to Techub News and Tokenpost, covering Bitroot’s architecture, its path to mainnet, and what the company is looking for from developers and partners across Asia.
ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY
Bitroot pairs a parallelized EVM with Pipeline BFT consensus, addressing the execution and consensus bottlenecks together rather than separately. Transaction dependencies are analysed at submission so that independent transactions execute concurrently, while consensus phases overlap instead of running in sequence. Current testing measures more than 44,000 transactions per second, with the architecture targeting 100,000 and above at mainnet, and finality in under a second.
The chain is fully EVM compatible at the bytecode level, so existing Solidity contracts and the standard Ethereum toolchain deploy without modification. Bitroot’s testnet is live with more than 300,000 unique addresses, over 3.4 million transactions processed, and an official DEX, cross-chain bridge and explorer in operation. The project has raised a 1 million dollar seed round and works with more than 90 ecosystem partners and 50 global ambassadors. Mainnet is targeted for the end of 2026, following completion of the security audit.
“We are not here to collect logos. We are looking for teams in AI, real world assets, DeFi and cross-chain who want to integrate before mainnet, and the booth is open across both days for exactly those conversations.”
– Jerry Yu, Global Business Manager, Bitroot
ABOUT BITROOT
Bitroot is a parallelized EVM Layer 1 built as the execution layer for verifiable AI. It gives AI agents, model training and GPU compute networks a low-cost on-chain runtime, pairing a parallel EVM with Pipeline BFT consensus for sub-second finality at near-zero gas. Bitroot is 100 percent EVM compatible, so Ethereum-native teams migrate without code changes. Learn more at bitroot.co.
