Mobile uploads 🐻🚀 Cornell Tech IC3 Conference!! it’s the best blockchain conference, researchers present their research findings! (without the annoying marketing fluff!!) the best of academia (Cornell Tech professors) and the best of industry (unicorn founder!!) and the best of startups (early stage, recent PhDs, ex-Jane Street), all come together at Cornell Tech!! Blockchain is really interesting technology, with many use cases: - verifying to a website that you’re over 18 years old, without the website actually knowing your date of birth (more privacy!!) - LLMs accessing databases to augment results, in a private way, that doesn’t reveal the nature of the user’s query (more privacy!!) - uploading a list of contacts, and being connected to those contacts, without the centralized messaging protocol knowing who you are (more privacy!!) - political elections, how to verify identities on who is voting!! - it’s fascinating how researchers balance privacy vs computational overhead, how they try to reduce trust assumptions, so everything can become more and more decentralized yet still trusted, so the big for-profit companies won’t know everything about us!! IC3 stands for the Initiative for CryptoCurrencies and Contracts, the conference and accelerator is organized at Cornell Tech every year, bringing the together blockchain researchers from around the world!! it’s headed by Ari Juels, the top Cornell Tech professor in blockchain!!
