Here is a quick summary of the presentations made by the æternity crypto foundation at the æternity Universe One Conference last Sept 20–21, held in La Fabrika and Paralelni Polis in Prague.

An Introduction to the aeternity crypto foundation by Marion Vogel

Marion Vogel, the President and one of æternity’s founding forces, opened the introduction panel with visionary words from cypherpunk legend Tim May and his crypto manifesto. Marion shared the leading principles and values we all commit to as part of the foundation. To sum up:

The æternity Crypto Foundation commits to support open-source blockchain technology development, and continues to push for further decentralization.

The æternity crypto foundation is an advocate of inclusion and expanding æternity’s developer force is one of the major priorities. Everyone is welcome to apply for a grant.

The foundation supports and interacts proactively with the æternity ecosystem. Part of the foundation’s activities include engaging with Starfleet startups, and providing funding support for the aembassador program.

Foundation Board members Marion Vogel, Emin Mahrt, Peter Schnürer, and Sascha Valenta share the stage for a panel discussion.

In a panel moderated by our lovely colleague, Development and Technical Marketing Manager Pegah Ghojavand, the Board Members shared valuable insights about the foundation’s origin, their motivation to join the Board, and the foundation’s main priorities.

“Open-source blockchain technology is a public good that we continuously want to support and take care of,” Marion explains, asserting this as one of the reasons for establishing the foundation.

“We need to do it in a sustainable way,” adds Emin.
