Join us for an event on the intersection of smart contracts, interoperability, and law during Consensus 2019. This panel discussion includes Sergey Nazarov, CEO of Chainlink, Aaron Wright, Co-Founder of OpenLaw, and Johann Eid, Lead Strategist for Wanchain. They will discuss how smart contracts will enable interoperability across multiple blockchains, empower deterministic legal agreements, and give contracts the external data they need to be truly useful.

About Chainlink

Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that enables smart contracts to securely access off-chain data feeds, web APIs, and traditional bank payments. Chainlink is consistently selected as one of the top blockchain technologies by leading independent research firms such as Gartner. It is well known for providing highly secure and reliable oracles to both large enterprises (SWIFT) and leading smart contract development teams.

About Wanchain

Wanchain is a blockchain infrastructure connecting the decentralized financial world. The blockchain, a fork of Ethereum, adds cross-chain and privacy protection to create a platform capable of creating a financial superhub of bridged networks. These bridges can be public-to-public (Ethereum to Bitcoin), public-to-private (Etheruem-to-Enterprise), or private-to-private (Enterprise-to-Enterprise. Current integrations include the Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchains, and an ERC20 set made up of Chainlink, MakerDAO, Loopring, and Gemini dollar. Wanchain’s next blockchain bridge will be to EOS.
