Why People Matter more than Technology in Ethereum-Based Projects
Join us for the July EEA Education Series in July to learn the different types of consortiums and how to create a governance model that enables your ecosystem to scale and thrive long-term. Participants will come away with actionable steps for how to convene stakeholders, align incentives in a mutually beneficial value proposition, and operate with speed and agility to thrive long-term. When starting any new joint venture, technology readiness is an important piece of the puzzle. But selecting the right incentive model for a business opportunity requires the right collaboration strategy and a methodical approach. From for-profit consortium models, to non-profits, and vendor-based service models, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. This presentation will help answer these questions and many more.

The State of Security for a Decentralized World
Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies, and Web3 are gaining popularity and pushing technology to a decentralized world. While Blockchain networks seem to include built-in security features, we still witness daily attacks, hacks, and fraudulent transactions on-chain and in crypto trade, costing people and institutions billions of dollars each year.
This open webinar brings together several EEA members who deal with various security angles of Blockchain – including Splunk, Quantstamp, Valid Network, and Trail of Bits – for a discussion about the state of security, the challenges to the ecosystem, and the road ahead. We’d discuss vulnerabilities, attack vectors, hacking patterns, lack of awareness, and tools and services to mitigate risks in smart contracts, consensus algorithms, digital wallets, and up and down the technology stack – in an attempt to start thinking about a holistic threat and security framework for Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies, and Web3.
The webinar will include a panel discussion, several short presentations, and an open Q&A with panelists and attendees.

Trusted Compute Registry as a Public Utility and Why It is Important

Trusted Compute Registry as a Public Utility and Why It is Important
Trusted Computing (now often called Confidential Computing) has been gaining momentum over last couple of years, and all the signs indicate that its importance is only going to grow. It is about protecting your data while it is being processed, so that: – You do not have to worry about where it is being processed and by whom (think: Cloud) – You have confidence that it is being processed exactly in a way you have agreed to – You have the peace of mind about who will be able to see which insights/results of the processing. All the big cloud providers and all the processor makers offer today some flavor of Confidential Computing (if you do not know it, go and see the list of members of the Confidential Computing Consortium for an eye-opening moment). However, today’s use cases mostly describe scenarios with small groups of actors and with pre-arranged trust relations. To scale up from there, to go for a market-regulated, inclusive scenarios, one crucial component is missing: A reliable registry, which (ideally) would allow for discovery, agreement of terms, verification and some sort of DvP for Confidential Computing services. It is not difficult to see how blockchain registry could fit this bill: Un-mutable, programmable registry able to interact with all sorts of smart contracts and DApps. Standardized and operated in a transparent manner. Think about this: the ubiquitous digital signatures of electronic documents would not work without the trusted CA (Certification Authority) hierarchy. What CA’s are for digital signatures, blockchain based registry could be for Confidential Computing.
