SEOUL, South Korea — September 29, 2026 — Bitroot, the parallelized EVM Layer 1 built as the execution layer for the machine economy, is attending GWDC 2026 Korea this week as a platinum sponsor. The company's presence includes a main stage keynote from Chief Executive Officer Juan José, a main stage panel appearance, and a booth operating across both days of the conference.

GWDC 2026 Korea, organized by Web3Labs, is being held on September 29 and 30 at the aT Center in Seoul. Organizers 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.

A Case for Machine-Driven Demand

Bitroot's main stage keynote lays out the company's central argument: 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 transacting with one another, 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. Within that framing, the specifications detailed below — throughput, finality, and fee levels — function as prerequisites for serving non-human users rather than as benchmarks aimed at human traders.

“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

Afterparty Sponsorship and Media Interviews

In addition to the main conference, Bitroot is sponsoring the official GWDC afterparty, House of Web3 | Moonlighting Night, on the evening of September 30. 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.

The Technology

Bitroot pairs a parallelized EVM with Pipeline BFT consensus, addressing the execution and consensus bottlenecks together rather than separately. Transaction dependencies are analyzed 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 and over 3.4 million transactions processed, and an official DEX, cross-chain bridge, and explorer are in operation. The project has raised a $1 million 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. For readers tracking the project, the security audit and the mainnet launch are the stated next milestones, along with the pre-mainnet integrations with AI, real world assets, DeFi, and cross-chain teams that Bitroot says it is actively seeking.

“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.”
