Wednesday, October 30th- Macro.WTF

Macro.WTF | Putting Crypto in the Broader Macro Context

Cryptocurrencies don’t exist in isolation, but rather in the larger world of macroeconomic trends, geopolitical forces, and sociological reality. In this event, we’ll examine where crypto lies in the history of monetary theory, what we can learn from macro studies, and how will we influence the macro world.

About WTF | The Power of Asking

A modern resurrection of the Greek Pnyx (/n?ks/): a supportive space for open, inclusive, informed, and thoughtful exchanges of ideas, for the practice of the ancient art of asking the right questions to move beyond hype and arrive at knowledge.

The event is free. Signup for the event here

Thursday, October 31st- App Chains vs. dApps on shards: Cosmos and NEAR discuss two approaches

Currently, there are two main approaches to building decentralized applications. Either the application is built as a dApp on the smart contract layer of an existing chain, or it is built as a separate application blockchain (app chain). The decision may depend on the level of autonomy needed by the application to implement custom technology, token economics and an independent governance model.

This event will feature proponents on both approaches discussing the pros and cons of each approach, with 20 minute audience discussion.

Featuring:

NEAR Protocol with Illia Polosukhin, Co-Founder.

Cosmos with Zaki Manian,Head of Research @tendermint_team. Working towards secure Proof of Stake with @cosmos.
