Ethereum: Building for the Masses

Details

During the last Portis meetup, we discussed the challenges of Ethereum's scalability and how to solve them.

However, making sure decentralized apps (DApps) can run fast and cheap is not enough. We have to make sure those DApps are easy to build, remain unstoppable and are super simple to use.

We are proud to host three guests who came to Israel to attend and speak in its first blockchain week ever and will share their thoughts on the challenges they face as they build products that will bring the blockchain to the masses.

πŸ• We will meet at 18:00 for pizza and beers, with the talks themselves kicking off at 18:30 πŸ•
