PRO TALK: Decentralized Internet Using the Blockchain

In an era where consumers are consistently being taken advantage of by large corporations in the name of profit, a decentralized internet network is a breath of fresh air. We need something that breaks the chokehold that internet service providers (ISPs) have on the market by giving the power back to the people. Blockchain can provide a decentralized community-driven mesh network where users themselves will own and control the network’s infrastructure. The goal is to provide everyone with access to fast, secure, private and reliable internet. We need an ecosystem built around this.

PRO TALK: Securing Data Pipelines with Distributed Consensus

The topic of data provenance has become a catch all term for problems that range from data loss, corruption, and various kinds of security issues. Thanks to the big data and machine learning community, there are varying solutions to each problem independently. But ultimately, there’s a new way of solving these issues at scale by repurposing implementations of distributed consensus, thus giving us full tractability on our producers, consumers, APIs, network effects, and malicious behavior.

PRO TALK: Hashed by History, Looking to the Past for the Future of Blockchain

Blockchain hasn't quite hit its stride yet outside of financial applications and currency, much like the internet chatrooms of the 90's. But at its core it is a social contract created by humans, and we have been creating contracts with one another for thousands of years. This talk will look to past, covering the history of social contracts, and its lessons, lending potential use cases to apply to your next blockchain project to better understand the human element.
