JULY 19 - DEBUT DECENTRALIZATiON & DECENTRATECH QUARTERLY UPDATE

The DecentraTech Collective’s July 19 online meetup saw the debut of a new quarterly update on highlights from the worlds of decentralization and DecentraTech. The aim with  these updates is to focus on recent items that will have a real impact on business adoption of decentralization. The meetup covered planned upgrades to the Ethereum blockchain and why they are important, a startup called Superfluid that allows peer-to-peer payment streams between applications, why Power Ledger is ditching Ethereum for Solana, and how Ethereum standards activity is coming together under one organization - which is good news for the Baseline Protocol.
​
The meetup was presented by Pete Harris, Co-Founder & Executive Director of the DecentraTech Collective. Click here to view presentation slides.
