Can zero-knowledge and blockchains help humanity survive?

Duration: 00:07:15

Speaker: Lisa Akselrod

Type: Lightning Talk

Expertise: Beginner

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

While someone is building one more NFT marketplace rn... I claim that blockchains, privacy, and verifiability can disrupt, heal, and modify the world around us for real: spacetech, agrotech, biotech, AI/ML, neurotech, and many other domains have a fit for our beloved technology. Based on dozens of interviews with ppl from other industries, I want to share the most unexpected, exciting, and urgent use cases e.g. satellite coordination, post-nuclear war recovery, and LLMs presumption of innocence
