https://www.eventbrite.com/e/coinfund-rabbithole-talks-with-lane-rettig-ewasm-and-preston-van-loon-prysmatic-labs-tickets-55778404710

Rabbithole Talks is a monthly CoinFund meetup, focused on doing deep dives into innovative token economics and technical design decisions for interesting blockchain-based projects. Past guests have included Doug Petkanics of Livepeer, Hunter Hillman of Connext and Luke Duncan of Aragon. We’re excited to continue the 2019 series with a roster of incredible speakers.

February 28, 2019 with Lane Rettig (eWASM) and Preston Van Loon (Prysmatic Labs)

  • Presenting: Ethereum 1.x and 2.0 roadmap, eWASM vs EVM, Casper economics, sharding vs composability tradeoff, followed by a Q&A.
  • You can RSVP here.

March 26, 2019 with Kevin Owocki (Gitcoin)

  • Open Source powers billions of dollars economic value for the world. Why, then, is Open Source often built on the backs of volunteers? Why does Open Source lack a business model? Blockchain technology has the potential to solve the age-old problem of Open Source Sustainability. In this talk, Gitcoin’s founder, Kevin Owocki, will explore the emergent blockchain Open Source Ecosystem, and share insights from the millions of dollars of OSS transactional value that the Gitcoin network has facilitated.

*UPDATED* April 16, 2019 with Thibauld Favre (Continuous Organizations) and *NEW* Lena Kuznetsova (GEO Protocol)

  • Aligning stakeholders’ interests in an organization is hard. The current fundraising models (ICO or private fundraising) impose significant limitations on the mechanisms available to align stakeholders’ interests. A Continuous Organization (CO) is a new model designed to make organizations more fluid and more robust by overcoming those limitations. Using the Continuous Organization model, organizations can set themselves in continuous fundraising mode while benefiting from solid and flexible mechanisms to align stakeholders’ interests in their financial success.

  • * NEW* — GEO is an open-source base layer protocol for cost-efficient, lightweight and infinitely scalable value transfer, merging blockchain and traditional finance worlds together. GEO solves an existing problem of siloed networks by creating a universal infrastructural layer for seamless inter-network transactions. Local consensus and absence of common ledger let GEO overcome throughput, speed and cost limitations that the blockchain industry is currently facing. GEO protocol provides full atomicity for multi-ledger networks, allows to conduct complex transactions atomically with several assets and implements post-quantum cryptography for long-term sustainability.

  • You can RSVP here.

April 30, 2019 with Daniel Heyman (PegaSys)

  • Technology Life Cycles follow predictable patterns. Blockchain also follows many of these patterns, but differs because the technology itself enables early liquidity, resulting in increased hype and subsequent bubbles. Daniel Heyman (PegaSys) will cover the current state of enterprise blockchain, where blockchain fits in the technological life cycle, and why enterprise blockchain is key to the next stage.
  • You can RSVP here.
