Cypherpunk for Centuries: Coordination and Secrecy Across the Ages

Duration: 00:05:30

Speaker: Evin McMullen

Type: Lightning Talk

Expertise: Beginner

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

Join Evin McMullen for an adventure through the historical ledger, learning from ancient examples of human coordination, governance and selective disclosure technologies whose principles are reflected in the onchain experiences we know and love today. Pull up a chair, anon. Class is in session, so let’s explore the core Ethereum Values and context in which we live, and what came before us, through the lens of tech that led to the modern cypherpunk movement.
