Ethereum dev update & Token Model
Details
Casper and Sharding are both the important proposals to solve the performance issue on the Ethereum. In this meetup, two researchers from Ethereum foundation, Hsiao-Wei and Chih-Cheng, will give us the latest information about these two protocols.
In the mean time, Thogiti will talk about his analysis to ICO and token model.
Topic: What you can do for Ethereum 2.0 a.k.a. sharding?
Speaker: Hsiao-Wei
Detail: https://github.com/EtherTW/talks/issues/20
Sharding is the Ethereum core protocol scaling solution that will distribute the computation and storage overhead to multiple "shard chains" with the security guarantee. In this way, we can optimize the computational resources and gain much higher TPS.
Sharding also enables us to have a new chance to redesign and optimize the Ethereum blockchain - Etheruem 2.0 - many fascinating ideas can be applied in shard chains without backward compatibility problem.
A lazy Ethereum Foundation researcher will give a brief intro to the sharding research and implementation. Also, how can you contribute to the cutting-edge R&D. 🦄️

Topic: The Past, Present and Future of ICOs and Crypto-Economic Token Models
Speaker: Thogiti
Detail: https://github.com/EtherTW/talks/issues/21
This talk will be two parts.
Part I
We will run through the history of different token economic models and discuss new price discovery auction models for ICOs using Mathematics, Game Theory and Economics.
We will also briefly discuss regulatory landscape and how different countries regulators are debating the balance between the existing and new regulations for investor protections from the crypto currencies, tokens, and crypto exchanges.
Part II
This will be a practical demo.
We will design and deploy a price discovery token model using Uniform Dutch Auction with some time dependent game theoretic benefits.
