Keep Weekly Roundup — February 2, 2018

News and Updates from the Keep Team and Network

Last week the team sponsored and attended BPASE (Blockchain Protocol Analysis and Security Engineering) at Stanford. We also got the chance to work together in-person for the first time in a few months. This week we’re excited to share our experience at the conference with a blog post from our team and also share some great conversations from our incredibly engaged and thoughtful community.

In this blog post our Keep Community Manager, Jack Knutson, takes us through the learnings and activities from the BPASE conference last week. He accounts the great talks and meaningful insights from the phenomenal lineup of speakers.

“… as we are a totally distributed team, it’s always great to come together and jam in-person. Secondly, I hadn’t yet been to an academic conference and BPASE is one of the few in this space solely dedicated to blockchains and cryptography.”

From the Keep Community

It’s our goal to build a strong and connected community of builders, developers and supporters as we continue on our journey to bring privacy to the blockchain. We’re very lucky to have a passionate and active group helping push our thinking forward and collaborate with us on our mission. This week we’re excited to share a few great discussions and some content created by our community.

Sleeping Function Discussion:

Magpie Lover summarizes the need, functionality, and potential use cases for the Keep Network. He also goes into the need to have a solution for privacy to increase adoption, and provides insight into how Keep plans to create a Sybil-resistant system as well as create and use utility tokens.

“Although the key strengths of a public blockchain are its transparency, immutability, auditability etc, for many potential use cases some of these strengths can also become its limitations.”

An important note about our Slack: We have disabled signups for a short period while we put into place some added security. We want make sure everyone is protected from scams and phishing attempts. You can still sign up for the Slack via our website. We will start letting people back in shortly.
