This marks the first public appearance by Buterin since February 12, when he spoke at the EthDenver conference.

EDCON 2023 will be held in May, and attendees can expect to hear from Buterin and other Ethereum experts on a variety of topics related to the blockchain technology.

However, a coincidence adds a twist to this news. It was revealed that Terra founder Do Kwon has been arrested in Podgorica, Montenegro and is currently being held in prison.

With Kwon's unexpected arrest, the upcoming EDCON 2023 conference in Montenegro may take on a different tone, as attendees may be eager to discuss the implications of this turn of events.

Despite the potential cloud cast by Kwon's arrest, the Ethereum community is still buzzing with excitement over the upcoming conference, and the chance to hear from Vitalik Buterin
