TERSE at EthCC

​The Token Engineering Research Symposium (TERSE) is a collaborative research event hosted by Token Engineering Academy, Bancor, UZH Blockchain Center, Token Engineering Labs, EthCC, and knowledge partners IEEE Blockchain, taking place at the main venue of EthCC[9] 2026 in Cannes.

​TERSE is an academic–industry forum focused on onchain market design, mechanism research, and deployed decentralized systems. It is designed as a technical commons — a space for clear problem statements, explicit assumptions, defensible methods, and honest discussion of results and limitations, presented without promotional intent.

​The goal is simple: improve how research is communicated, evaluated, and translated into deployed onchain mechanisms.

​Who Should Attend

• ​Those with a general interest blockchain science

• ​Researchers in token engineering, market design, and cryptoeconomics

• ​Protocol designers and engineers working on DeFi infrastructure

• ​Builders and reviewers interested in research-driven system design
