The artist
I’m Naman, a Mumbai native now living in Philadelphia. I’m the co-founder and CTO of Singularity, a GPU-powered L1, and a computer science student at Drexel University. I’m coming to Devcon as a builder, but I’d love to contribute through music too. Most of my conversations in this community revolve around what we’re building, so this would be a chance to share a different side of myself. Getting to do that back home in India makes it especially meaningful.
The set
’m bringing a live DJ set inspired by Karan Kanchan and jigitz, connecting my Mumbai roots with the electronic sounds I’ve gotten into while living in the US. Expect Indian edits, melodic stretches and heavy drops, with familiar tracks showing up in unexpected places. Alongside the music, I’m bringing the other thing I build: blockchain infrastructure. The plan is to incorporate zero-knowledge proofs into the set and stream the performance through a custom music L2 built on Ethereum. Rather than presenting the technology in a separate talk or demo, I want to put it to work during the performance itself. For the audience, it’s a chance to dance while an experiment in music and Ethereum unfolds live—bringing together the musician and the L1 builder in me, back home in India.
What moves them
I’m inspired by the collision of worlds that normally stay separate: Mumbai and Philadelphia, music and systems engineering, underground club culture and open-source technology. A lot of what excites me in both music and Ethereum is the same idea: take simple primitives, let people remix them freely, and something larger emerges. A great set works like that too — familiar sounds get broken apart, recombined, and turned into something nobody in the room could have experienced beforehand. That’s what I want my work to feel like: culturally rooted, technically strange, and impossible to separate into “music” on one side and “technology” on the other.
