Blockchain Carnival - Three Highlights

Last year, the first Blockchain Global Summit held by Wanxiang Blockchain Lab in Shanghai and the DevCon1 Developer Conference held by the Ethereum Foundation in London were both major events in the blockchain industry. This September, you will have the opportunity to attend these two events in one week. The following is a photo of the first Blockchain Global Summit last year.

The Shanghai International Blockchain Week activities are one of the highlights of this event, including the Ethereum DevCon2 Developer Conference from September 19 to 21; the Blockchain Project Demo Day on September 22, which will mainly showcase the world's 25 most innovative blockchain startups and projects, involving the application of blockchain in multiple industries, allowing many potential entrepreneurs who want to enter the blockchain industry to understand the latest progress of global innovation and find local entrepreneurial opportunities. At the same time, it will also allow investment institutions and investors to get a close look at the main trends of blockchain entrepreneurial projects and find potential investment targets; the Blockchain Global Summit from September 23 to September 24 will mainly invite industry celebrities and top blockchain experts invited to this Blockchain Global Summit to interact and exchange ideas, and discuss the development prospects and trends of blockchain in different application scenarios.

Industry experts share their experience

This Shanghai International Blockchain Week will invite more than 30 top blockchain experts from around the world. As blockchain is gaining more and more attention around the world, the changes that blockchain technology brings to different industries in different application scenarios, especially for financial scenarios, will also be one of the highlights of this conference. It is not difficult to find blockchain experts in the financial field in the list of guests invited this time, such as Jeremy Allaire, the founder and CEO of Circle in the cross-border payment field. Let me briefly introduce Circle as the first cross-border payment/remittance company to obtain the US bit license and the EU E-money license. It is currently one of the largest and most widely covered blockchain cross-border remittance startups. In addition, Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, chief scientist of Wanxiang Blockchain Lab and co-founder of Ethereum, will introduce Ethereum. Ethereum is known as a combination of a distributed system and a software application development platform, creating new digital currencies and distributed applications on the Ethereum blockchain.
