Blockchain: myths, challenges and ambitions of a decentralised paradigm

Wednesday 15th June, 5pm (UK Time) / 6pm (Paris Time)

The promise of the decentralisation of the Blockchain has been much debated, starting from why it matters. But the genuine assessment of whether Blockchain meets its decentralisation ambitions still fuel some passionate discussions.

The panel composed of professionals from the infrastructure and DeFi worlds will aim to address the multiple aspects of decentralisation inherent to the technology. It will also cover the myths and flaws with respect to the implementation of a decentralised paradigm, while sharing its vision on how the technology could fulfil its ambitions.
