Who decides what changes are made to blockchains, and how are these decisions made? These are the governance questions some blockchain developers are looking to blockchain technology itself to address.



Existing blockchains and smart contract platforms either lack the ability to have technical governance mechanisms or prefer to govern “off-chain”—making decisions by online or in-person conversations.



To be able to easily gauge sentiment and make changes as transparently as possible, we are witnessing a movement towards ‘on-chain governance’ mechanisms.



Join us on Thursday 26th July to hear from four projects pioneering on-chain governance.



Tezos - Jacob Arluck (Governance Research Lead)



Colony - Jack Du Rose (Co-Founder)



Cosmos - Adrian Brink (Head of Partnerships)



POA Network - Igor Barinov (Technical Lead)



Polkadot - Gavin Wood (Founder)



Q&A and networking will follow the presentations.



Drinks and snacks will be provided.



This event is free but we can only accommodate a limited amount of guests. RSVP early!
