Blockchain Workshop: Introduction to Cryptoeconomics
Dear All,
We have 2 amazing tech advisors coming to Kraków and figured it's a nice opportunity to share some of the knowledge with the outside world and our dear #omgkrk community. Together with hub:raum, we would like to invite all blockchain heads to meet with us and participate in two presentations by Franziska and Anish.
This meeting will be quite a treat for those who already have:
- good idea of blockchain and ICOs
- some understanding of cryptography
- basic understanding go game theory
If you're new in the subject, you are still very welcome. Please read up a bit, so you can follow Franziska and Anish without any problems.
We have a limited number of seats, please register via Eventbrite.
About the workshop:
Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) have gathered quite a bit of attention in recent months. Most of them offer "application" or "utility" tokens to investors which can then be used to access the company’s product. The mechanisms behind the process of ICO remain unknown for most while the regulatory outlook is quickly evolving. The surge of new tokens and cryptocurrencies has been tremendous over the past months and the rationale behind them is hard to understand. This workshop aims to provide an outlook into an ICO structure and introduce how tokenization and smart contracts work.
