BabsNYC.news - NYC Civic Blockchain & the COGE Hearings Discussion

​NYC’s tech infra is showing signs of strain.

Glacial permitting timelines, unpaid invoices, and a backlog snafu that caused a cascade of incorrect Section 8 evictions.

Recent headlines about deed fraud are making waves, despite the city’s blockchain proof-of-concept study in 2021 to address - guess what - deed fraud.

Much has changed in the blockchain space since 2021, namely institutional adoption of blockchain, the emergence of AI, and stablecoins.

​It's time to update the conversation!

​WHAT:

Zoom meeting.
Using some data from Mayor Mamdani’s Commission on Government Efficiency (COGE) public hearings as an anchoring example, babsNYC's Founder Kala Philo will share a brief overview about the findings and open the floor for questions or discussion. Kala also testified at a recent COGE meeting and will report back on that.
