Asia Blockchain Review Meetups

BLOCKCHAIN SCALABILITY – CHALLENGES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS Please sign up at eventbrite page http://bit.ly/2Jpa45A. In the current market, many blockchain startups have started to focus heavily on building the technological infrastructure that will enable blockchain to thrive in the long term. Blockchain protocols create an irrefutable system of agreement between various devices across a distributed network, with many protocols developing innovative scaling solutions to handle large transaction volumes. However, there are still immense challenges with enhancing blockchain scalability. What are these challenges and how can we approach these issues in the near future? This Unblock Bangkok meetup will feature the following players: Switzerland-based Liquidity Network is an off-chain payment ecosystem offering zero fees and instant transfers. It supports the exchange of digital assets, scales like a bank but doesn’t hold funds. Lightnet is one of the largest revolutionized financial services network in Southeast Asia, backed by K Chatchaval Jiaravanon (CP Group Family member, Founder of AEON, Finansia Syrus etc) and “Stellar”, the World’s top Blockchain network. Lightnet was created from the vision that everyone should be able to access financial services anytime and from anywhere. Kulap is the decentralized best rate protocol. This protocol gets real-time digital asset exchange rate from a worldwide marketplace, using an algorithm to find the “best price” for users automatically. Katinrun is developing an Ethereum-based donation platform where a donee who needs some support and a donor who wants to give support can meet together.

Some of us have traded cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or Ethereum, while others chose not to participate even during the crypto bull run in late 2017. No matter which side we are on, we should really ask ourselves: do we really understand what cryptocurrencies are used for and why would the technology behind it actually gain adoption? This is the first ever Bitcoin Talks Edition in the Unblock Kuala Lumpur meetup series, co-hosted by Asia Blockchain Review & Bitcoin Malaysia. By partnering up with local and global blockchain players, we will explore why cryptocurrencies matter and deliver the overview of the industry in the past 10 years.

Blockchain Scalability - Challenges and Future Directions [Vietnamese bellow] In the current market, many blockchain startups have started to focus heavily on building the technological infrastructure that will enable blockchain to thrive in the long term. Blockchain protocols create an irrefutable system of agreement between various devices across a distributed network, with many protocols developing innovative scaling solutions to handle large transaction volumes. However, there are still immense challenges with enhancing blockchain scalability. What are these challenges and how can we approach these issues in the near future? This Unblock Saigon meetup will feature the following players: Switzerland-based Liquidity Network is an off-chain payment ecosystem offering zero fees and instant transfers. It supports the exchange of digital assets, scales like a bank but doesn’t hold funds. Kardiachain aims to create a unified ecosystem where developers can easily create smart contracts that can run on multiple blockchains, i.e to optimise costs and avoid congestion and can communicate with smart contracts on other chains in a trustless and secure manner.

Những giao thức blockchain sẽ tạo ra một hệ thống thỏa thuận không thể chối cãi giữa những thiết bị thông qua một mạng phân tán, với rất nhiều giao thức phát triển, cải tiến và tìm ra các giải pháp để kiểm soát lượng giao dịch cực lớn. Tuy nhiên, vẫn còn nhiều thách thức cho sự tăng trưởng tiềm năng phát triển của công nghệ Blockchain. Những thách thức đó là gì và làm cách nào để chúng ta tiếp cận chúng trong tương lai gần? Buổi meetup Unblock Saigon tập trung những diễn giả đến từ : Liquidity Network- Nên tảng đến từ Thụy Sỹ. Đây là một hệ sinh thái thanh toán Off-chain miễn phí và chuyển khoản tức thời. Hỗ trợ cho các trao đổi tài sản điện tử, có quy mô như ngân hàng nhưng lại không quản lý bất kỳ quỹ nào. Kardiachain đặt mục tiêu tạo ra một hệ sinh thái thống nhất nơi mà các nhà phát triển có thể dễ dàng tạo ra các hợp đồng thông minh có thể hoạt động trên nền tảng Blockchain. Tối ưu hóa giá cả, tránh xung đột và có thể giao tiếp với các hợp đồng thông minh từ các chuỗi khác trong một phương pháp kém tín nhiệm và lâu dài.
