ETHLDN: Decentralised solutions to UK problems
With decentralised software getting easier to create, knowing what to make for who becomes the competitive advantage.
Promises of helping many can be lost to complexity that only corporate/institutional staffers can afford to navigate.
In spite of tech accelerations, the UK is facing challenges around wealth allocation and basic civic rights and abilities.
Can crypto as we know it save us all, or is it expanding havens for the elite?
Join this double-pronged event, it's going to be spicy!
Hot-takes encouraged!
🗓 Agenda
💬 6:30 entry and networking
1🎤 James Zaki - Example dApp platforms, privacy profiles, and how dapps might help everyday people. Unfortunate highlight: Win GDID 😬
2🎤 Roxana Nasoi - What gaps in UK systems are eroding previously mighty foundations? What are possible actions for: individuals, local groups, or national entities?
💬 Community conversations: Open networking, idea sharing, and connections with fellow builders, founders, and researchers
🔥To supplement the night: We'll have the ability to gather our thoughts using a Bonfire to create shared meaning and a persistent data artifact that can be built on in future iterations
Special guests:
