However, entering the industry is still a somewhat complex endeavor. In this talk, we will delve into this new industry that has actively embraced decentralization, investigate their motivations and methods for doing so, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of a decentralized world. We will explore the challenges newcomers face in the blockchain space. We will discuss the innovative solutions being developed to lower the barriers to entry and make blockchain technology more accessible to all. ## Speaker ### [Vasilika Klimova](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/@vasilika-klimova) Developer Relations Engineer ∾ 13+ years Software Engineer ∾ Google Developer Expert ∾ Women Techmakers Ambassador ∾ Teacher ∾ Speaker ## Related talks at this congress - [Blockchain Beyond Crypto: Technology Unlocking Opportunities across Various Industries](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2024/sessions/228-blockchain-beyond) — Arthur Breitman, John Woods, Vicktoria Klich - [How to Build for Decentralized Systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2024/sessions/121-how-to-build-for) — Alessandro Cappellato Ferrari - [Why You Should Care About the Decentralized Computing Movement](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2024/sessions/83-why-you-should-care) — John Woods - [Exploring 5 Key Applications of AI Abundance with Blockchain Assurance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2024/sessions/345-exploring-5-key) — Ed Marquez
