Cork Blockchain #3 - Third Generation Blockchains

We meet every second Tuesday of the month in Bank of Ireland Workbench to have 2 talks focussed on Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology, talking about Consortium/Public Blockchain, Storage, Consensus, Identity, Smart Contracts, etc.

This month we have the following confirmed:

TALK 1: Third Generation Blockchains

The third generation of blockchains will need to solve the following major challenges:

Scalability - increasing the number of transactions
Interoperability - integrating with banks and other blockchains and crypto currencies
Sustainability - creating a project that is self-sustaining and not prone to being controlled by a small number of developers, miners or a dictator, benevolent or otherwise.

This talk will present some of the contenders for the next generation of blockchains and specifically focus on Cardano.

All people with an interest or level of knowledge in Blockchain, Cryptography, Distributed Ledgers are more than welcome to attend and feel free to bring like minded colleagues and friends.
Our talks come from our community so if you have an idea for a topic (anything for 10-60 minutes) please email us at johannes@fluquid.com. Whether you are an experienced presenter, or presenting for your first time - Cork Blockchain is a great venue for it - and we are happy to help you prepare and mentor you.

Doors open at 18:00 with talks starting at 18:15.
