Abstract: Blockchains offer a revolutionary new tool for technologists to build upon. However, because their key use case is to allow for the transfer of value, each ecosystem must also take incentives and penalties into account. Allan will explore how the technology can be used to bootstrap growth within traditionally capital intensive industries such as finance (Defi) and infrastructure (Depin), and align community incentives.
