You can now buy discounted tickets to Oslo Blockchain Day with the Dai stablecoin! The conference is on April 29 and April 30 in Norway.

We have developed a simple app which accepts 256 Dai for a single ticket to the conference. The solution is truly decentralized in that it’s transparent and ‘atomic’: the payment is inherently the same as the receipt and the ticket itself. Your email is encrypted to hide it from others than us.

It's not that pretty — but it works! Truly decentralized ticketing system with stable cryptocurrency

On April 30, speakers from all over the world, including Nikolaj Lollike from the MakerDao, will meet. They are behind the stablecoin, a global low volatility cryptocurrency, linked to the US dollar.

MakerDao and Dai

Dai is the stablecoin which is a ‘synthetic peg’ to the dollar. Maker allows users to print Dai on their own accord following the rules of the smart contract on the blockchain. It’s all very technically and economically hard to understand, but $100 million have been printed in this way, and it’s is still stable. There is no bank or central bank issuing these dollars. The money is printed by the user itself and is backed by collateralizing cryptocurrency.

“One of the most interesting Ethereum projects” Vitalik Buterin.

Creator of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin believes that MakerDAO is one of the most exciting projects at Ethereum. The project is decentralized and autonomous, and decisions are made through a democratic vote. Anyone who has a cell phone or internet access can use it. Applications by MakerDao tokens are many and lead to many exciting questions about the future.

It is in line with the theme of the conference this year — democratizing technologies. How to combine new business models, new technologies and corporate social responsibility and create solutions for the future?

The famous Silicon Valley duo Andreessen Horowitz invested $ 15 million in 2018 and bought up 6 percent of all MakerDao tokens (MRK). In 2017, they collected an additional $ 12 million round with Andreessen Horowitz and Polychain Capital.
