About the Speakers

Johann Eid

Johann is a Product Manager and Developer Evangelist at Chainlink, the leading blockchain middleware company, used by enterprises (SWIFT, Google, Oracle) and smart contract teams (Web3 Foundation, OpenZeppelin, OpenLaw, Hedera Hashgraph, Zilliqa, and many others). Working with leading banks, insurance companies, and large technology firms on the creation of “externally connected smart contracts”, gives him a unique perspective on what is required to bring smart contracts forward for enterprise adoption. Currently, 80%+ of smart contracts require external data feeds such as market prices, IoT events, and shipping data. These smart contracts need a secure reliable way to connect to this off-chain data, the capability Chainlink uniquely provides.





Joe Petrowski is a Research Analyst with Parity Technologies, where he works with blockchain infrastructure partners and the business development team, and is the host of Parity's podcast, Relay Chain. Earlier, Joe worked in aerospace for Lockheed Martin and Boeing, where he developed techniques to stimulate shock and vibration during satellite launches.



Joe was a professional cyclist from 2014-2017, competing with teams based in the U.S., UK, and France. He won a USA National Championship and had ten top-5 finishes and a victory in Europe.



Joe has a bachelor's degree in Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York.





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, Google, Oracle) and leading smart contract development teams (Web3 Foundation, OpenLaw, Zeppelin, MARKET Protocol, and more).



We've been providing secure and reliable oracles to great companies like Google, Oracle, SWIFT, and many other large enterprises, as well as many of the world's best smart contract projects/teams such as Web3, Hedera, Reserve, OpenZeppelin, OpenLaw, Celer, Synthetix, Zilliqa, OceanProtocol, Amberdata, Kaleido, Harmony, ThunderCore, and many more.





Polkadot

Polkadot was founded in 2016 by Gavin Wood, former Co-Founder and CTO of Ethereum, and creator of the Solidity programming language. Polkadot is the first interoperability protocol that enables blockchains to work together under the protection of plug-and-play security. By parallelizing transactions, Polkadot solves major scalability issues that have thus far hampered blockchain development. Polkadot also introduces a highly advanced, open governance system that will allow the network to innovate and grow at a much more rapid pace than legacy networks. Applications from decentralized finance and energy to gaming and communications will thrive on Polkadot, forming the basis of digital jurisdictions in Web 3.0. Blockchains, called parachains, can be built on Polkadot using Substrate, the blockchain development framework to more easily build custom blockchains that can be standalone or plug into Polkadot's Relay Chain.
