INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Cryptocurrency speculation is over
That why I&m excited to announce that Vinay Gupta will join us at TechCrunch Disrupt Berlin to talk about cool use cases that could make
blockchain projects useful, beyond financial services.Gupta worked on the initial release of Ethereum back in 2015
He contributed when it comes to project management
He then worked with the Consensys team on other cryptocurrency projects.But he now 100 percent focused on his own project —Mattereum
As the name suggests, it all about bringing physical objects to the blockchain.For instance, if you buy an expensive painting, you want to
make sure that you sign a contract with the previous owner that says that you now own this painting.Mattereum helps you set up
self-executing smart contracts to transfer digital assets (including tokens that could prove the ownership of a painting).But if you want to
combine smart contracts with good old legal contracts, Mattereum has also worked on Ricardian contracts so that those contracts have a legal
Finally, Mattereum also worked on a decentralized dispute resolution platform that can be enforced in a national court.If you want to listen
to Gupta talk about Mattereum himself, then you should come to Disrupt Berlin.Buy your ticket to Disrupt Berlin to listen to this discussion
