Polkadot and its testnet Kusama allow for custom blockchains called parachains to be built for specific uses like DeFi or gaming. Parachains connect to Polkadot/Kusama which provides security and interoperability between chains. Governance over network upgrades is handled through community voting. Kusama moves faster than Polkadot and is meant for higher risk experimentation before features are implemented on Polkadot.

Introduction of Tendermint consensus engine and programming interface, which allows developers to build distributed applications in any programming language. The Tendermint consensus engine provides optimal fault tolerance against malicious attacks while handling thousands of transactions per second. Get familiar with the background of consensus problem, solutions, while building and run applications utilizing the platform.
Ethan Buchman, Tendermint
Witnessing explosive immense growth over the past few years, we have realized many new emerging blockchains started making a move in competition with Binance Smart Chain commonly known as BSC. Like other DAO projects, Upcomings Chain is a genuine follower of this popular blockchain overcoming the shortcomings of the existing blockchain.
Upcomings Chain is introduced to solidify its position to begin a journey to be the most popular DeFi ecosystem to reach an account of more than $20 billion in terms of assets and become a successful DeFi protocol.
Presenting the utmost benefits right from low transaction fees, exceptional high throughput, and rapid transaction completion times, UPC intends to be a low-cost alternative to other hyped blockchains out there.
The team plans to hire hundreds or thousands of crypto projects and assets in collaboration with this new platform recently deployed on official protocols. By leveraging the complete power of blockchain technology as well as smart contracts, Upcomings DAO developed its own blockchain in the name of UPC to create a safer, transparent, reliable, open to all and decentralized internet platform for empowering the individuals and communities around the space.
This blockchain platform portrays an entire suite of DeFi applications such as prediction markets, exchange, yield farms, staking platforms, an NFT marketplace, Metaverse, and much more.
The native asset for Upcomings Chain called as UPCG coins offers a wide variety of use cases and terms to reduce the high inflation being one of the primary source reward assets for participants in the entire ecosystem.
UPC is a decentralized blockchain platform that supports different DApps and many large-scale applications belonging to GameFi, SocialFi, and the Metaverse domains. Upcomings Chain is a proof-of-authority-based blockchain quite compatible with the network protocols which allows common users and developers to build DApps and feasibly migrate to the core chain.
Features of the Upcomings Chain
· UVM compatible
· Consensus Layer
· Core hub to multi-chains
· Offers high transaction volume
· Deployed on the Proof-of-Authority consensus mechanism
We believe that Upcomings Blockchain will be the next big thing in the crypto industry sketching out the growth this network has started experiencing. It is currently the faster and cheaper on-spot platform with advanced smart contracts providing developers with major factors that other projects lack.
Upcomings Chain
Upcomings Chain is an innovative blockchain developed on a Proof of Authority (PoA) based solution to eliminate the increasing gas fee concerns and to support the short block time. It is a virtual machine deployed on a blockchain network operating on 2 modes of the mainnet and testnet and POA algorithm.
Moreover, this chain primarily emphasizes a user-developer-friendly ecosystem offering a transaction confirmation ratio of over 7 secs and low fees of around $0.01.
Ethereum is the largest decentralized software platform that allows you to build smart contracts and decentralized applications without any downtime and without any third party interference.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

(layer 1)
Apps, users, liquidity Apps, users, liquidity Apps, users, liquidity
Ethereum is a layer-1
equivalent to one
Polkadot parachain
Legacy networks like Ethereum are two layers: Layer 1 platform (Ethereum), then
the Application layer (Uniswap, Compound, etc.)
Polkadot & Kusama both add a new layer zero “meta-protocol” layer, connecting many
layer 1 parachains, each with their own application layer and all fully interoperable
24. What is Kusama?
● Polkadot’s wild cousin
● Same network setup as Polkadot (parachains,
validators, etc.)
● Moves faster: 7 day governance cycle vs 28 days on
Polkadot
● More risk appetite and willingness to experiment -
new features go live on Kusama before Polkadot
● Lower economic barrier - less cost for parachains to
get a slot vs. on Polkadot
● Will be bridged to Polkadot
● New model: Kusama introduced a new model for
blockchain development where code now goes from
testnet (Rococo & Westend) to Kusama, then to
Polkadot.
