CFP Description

Our goal is to bring to life inspirational storytelling in the Ethereum community. We do this by showcasing new ideas and insights that are helpful to others developing, building, researching, and using applications on Ethereum. Our 3 tracks for Ethereal New York this year are Scaling, Applications, and Enterprise. Below you can learn more about each.

Scaling

2020 will be the year of Ethereum 2.0. With multiple Eth2 clients running on testnets, there’s lots to discuss about cutting edge research that’s bringing the EVM to its fullest realization. Learn from the leading Eth2 research and development teams and understand how this affects the future roadmap driving our community forward. We will also discuss the economics, incentives, and staking at the foundation of transitioning to Proof-of-Stake.

Applications

2019 was the year of DeFi. We’ve seen an explosion of products, protocols, and tools come to market to bring decentralized finance to life with real adoption. As of December 2019, $660M in value is locked in DeFi apps and protocols. We will hear from the successes, failures, and lessons learned by the those deploying the leading dapps, wallets, DEXs, aggregators, and protocols enabling the future of Ethereum-powered finance.

Enterprise

The enterprise is no longer a buzzword. The leading companies in the world are either implementing a blockchain-powered solution or investigating how they can benefit from one. Banking, financial services, supply chain, government, healthcare, and media/entertainment all look to be be transformed in the coming decades by disruptive innovation in our space. Come learn from the early adopters and forward thinkers championing enterprises blockchains.
