LFDT Silicon Valley

Join us for a virtual meetup about Minokawa, the newest project hosted by LF Decentralized Trust. Minokawa joins the LFDT project ecosystem as an established codebase and with an existing user base. It was designed under the Compact brand with a clear set of goals: to make zero-knowledge smart contract development accessible, secure, and practical for real-world applications. Compact’s features and capabilities are now at the core of Minokawa. They include:

* Privacy by default
* Strong static typing
* Zero-Knowledge proof integration
* Separation of public and private state
* Developer accessibility

At its core, Minokawa addresses the structural limitations that have historically constrained the development of private, trustworthy smart contracts. On most blockchains, both contract state and logic are fully transparent, which makes them rather unsuitable for applications that involve sensitive information, such as credentials, personal identity, private preferences, or proprietary business logic.

Join us for this event to learn more about Minokawa and how to get involved in the project.

Speaker

• Kevin Millikin, Maintainer of Minokawa

FLEXBLOK.io is a Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform built on Besu, an open source Ethereum client written in Java, designed to remove the primary barriers to enterprise blockchain adoption. Through intuitive APIs and a cloud-native architecture, it empowers development teams to integrate blockchain capabilities without the overhead of managing smart contract infrastructure. The platform delivers zero-friction adoption, rapid deployment, and enterprise-grade scalability, ensuring seamless integration with existing Web 2.0 systems.

A live demonstration will showcase a real-world biotech application, providing a practical look at how FLEXBLOK.io delivers end-to-end traceability and immutable audit trails for sensitive genetic samples. Attendees will see how this technology drives trust and compliance, allowing enterprises to focus on innovation and business outcomes instead of technical complexity.

The session will conclude with key insights and lessons learned from our real-world projects.

Speakers

• Srini Belligundu, Co-Founder and CEO
• Mayank Mishra, Blockchain Solutions Expert
• Meenakshi Avula, Senior Blockchain Developer

Learning Tokens is a LFDT Lab that is building an open-source mechanism that uses the composable Interwork Alliance Token Taxonomy Framework (IWA TTF) to produce a Learning Token as a positive reinforcer that recognizes, registers, and certifies skills acquisition and competencies while rewarding community engagement in collective learning.

This presentation will feature speakers from the LFDT Mentorship 2025, covering information about the release of the first SDK. This is a follow up to a meetup in July 14 about the online learning platforms landscape. You can see a recording of that meetup at:
