Why You Should Care About the Decentralized Computing Movement

Decentralized computing systems are often treated as novel, but in reality it has taken 40+ years and dozens of cryptographic innovations to get to where we are today. The latest generation of blockchains are being taken seriously–and utilized–by top global financial institutions, tech companies, consumer brands… and of course, by entrepreneurs and investors. Leave this session with a deeper understanding of how decentralized computing networks operate, what they enable, and why now is the time for every developer to turn a serious eye toward learning how to program on them. (Hint: it’s easier than ever before, with the native integration of languages like Python, TypeScript, and more.)
