Sofia Crypto Meetup #34: æternity Mainnet

You have surely heard of æternity. Maybe you even have some AE tokens. Possibly, you already know æternity Ventures which provides funding for promising blockchain projects (the latest being weiDex, the decentralized exchange). At the very least – you are aware that two of the moderators of this group (the Facebook one) are part of the team since the project’s inception at the end of 2016.

Or maybe you don't know anything about æternity and you are curious. Here is your chance to get some first-hand information from the people behind it.

Some trivia: æternity is one of the few blockchain projects in the space that have bet on a functional programming language – Erlang – for it core components and has functional smart contracts. Its Founder – Yanislav Malahov – organized the first Sofia Crypto Meetup back in January 2016 and kicked off the monthly tradition that continues to this day. Thanks to the project’s support all sessions are professionally recorded and available online for anyone to enjoy.

Now to the point.

After months of applied research and development, æternity’s Mainnet (Roma Release) was launched on November 28, 2018 making a unique technological stack of features available to a global community of miners, developers, entrepreneurs and users.

What is special about æternity? What are its primary tech features? What applications/use-cases can be built on it? How does it solve the challenges that permissionless blockchain projects must overcome on the road to mass adoption? What is this “migration” thing? What wallets support it? How is it mined? What is its native token? Who is in the team? Is it a “Bulgarian” project?

These questions and many more will be addressed during the meetup and the floor will be open for any that have not been answered.

Here is the schedule:

• 19:10 – æternity Mainnet: Features, æpps and Development by the æternity team
• 19:40 – Q&A
• 20:00 – Networking and Drinks

The refreshments are as always kindly provided by BitHope.org, while the video recording is possible thanks to æternity.

The presentation will be in English. There is no entrance fee or need to register.

See you soon!
