[Lecture Series] Policies and Governance for Inclusive Crypto Protocols

Lecture Series FS22 ——"Policies and Governance for Inclusive Crypto Protocols".
Co-organized by UZH Blockchain Center, Trust Square, Dezentrum.
Sponsor: #SBHACK22

Speaker: Prof. Nathan Schneider (University of Colorado Boulder)
When: 14. June 2022 18:00
Where: via Zoom

Abstract:
As blockchain protocols become increasingly mainstream economic infrastructure, it matters what kinds of policies are written into them. So far, most protocol design has focused on basic functionality, security, and stability. But this lecture explores how these protocols might someday incorporate higher aspirations, from ensuring decentralisation of power to protecting human rights.
