The Blockchain Economy | William Mougayar | Blockchain ConfCodemotion
What does the journey to the decentralized blockchain economy look like? How are we getting there, and what are the challenges and opportunities? William Mougayar takes us on a visionary tour highlighting the most important features of this new system, and what it means for society, business and government.
If we have to pick the most distributed technology in recent years, then it has to be Blockchain. It started as the underlying technology for Bitcoin exchange, but over the years, Blockchain has made a mark for itself as the self-sustaining technology that aids other business processes like healthcare, medical, finance, education and others. But the focus of this article is not on how Blockchain is adding to the different business segments. We are highlighting how Blockchain is helpful in creating safe storage for cryptocurrencies. Yes, we are going to discuss Blockchain wallet.
We shortly go through bitcoin/blockchain history before trying to guess how our economy/society will be impacted by this technology in the near future.

Is there a token for that? Tokens demystified.Jan Brejcha
This presentation aims at providing a brief introduction to crypto tokens, how they can be beneficial for the users, and why they can disrupt current industries. Various examples will be discussed.
Crypto tokens are a special kind of signs representing objects and/or functions living in the underlying blockchain, and can be generated by smart contracts.
Tokens enable the viability of open source protocols, and dApps (decentralized applications), which was previously unattainable.
Current regulatory frameworks try to mitigate frauds in ICOs, while helping establish tokens as a new asset class.

Applying the Howey Test to the DAO Tokens- On July 25, 2017, the SEC issued its Report on an investigation into an ICO and related activities by the DAO, an unincorporated entity, Slock.it UG (“Slock.it”), a German corporation, and various principals and participants. Previously in this Lawcast series I went through the parameters of the Howey Test to determine if a particular investment contract is a “security” under the federal securities laws. I also have detailed the relevant facts related to the DAO and its ICO offering.
Applying the Howey Test to the DAO Tokens, the SEC notes that “money” need not include cash, but rather can be anything of value. A contribution of ETH is an investment of “money” as considered by the Howey Test. Investors in the DAO were investing in a common enterprise with the expectation of profits, including dividends and increased value. The SEC also found that the profits were to be derived from the efforts of others, including Slock.it, its founders and the DAO curators...

ICO and Cyber security - How to protect from hackers during ICOsNagib Aouini
Since January 2017, it does not happen a week without a new ICO is launched (more than 200 to date with $ 3Mds raised),
but also without an ICO facing attacks of all kinds (Parity Multi-sig wallet bug with $ 30Mln stolen and
Scam slack/twitter posts and phishing attacks with DNS spoofing, phishing link ...)
During this talk, we will discuss the security principles of an ICO and see how and which elements to protect
in order to secure both IT aspects (server hardening, web application firewall, multi-factor ...) and
processes aspects (governance, mutli-signature procedure, smart-contract ownership, hot / cold keys storage, secret management ...)
Also we will try to give an overview on how to use/secure smart-contract for Token sales and TGE process.

DWeb and Civil Society: An Introduction For MakersTechSoup
Recorded by TechSoup on September 13, 2023.
https://events.techsoup.org/e/mbuuw2/
Blockchain, Decentralization, Cryptocurrencies, and DApps. We hear these terms every day, but what do they really mean? And, more importantly, how can they be used in Civil Society?
In this first in a series of webinars, Gloria Kimbwala will take you through the fundamentals and answer questions like:
What is the Decentralized Web and why is it important for Makers?
What are blockchains?
How does blockchain technology enable decentralization?
How do you buy/sell/store/send cryptocurrencies?
What are protocols and DApps?
How can you create ethical DApps that factor in all groups within society?
The session will cover the answers to these questions and more.
Tokenization on Blockchain is a steady trend. It seems that everything is being tokenized on Blockchain from paintings, diamonds and company stocks to real estate. Thus, we took an asset, tokenized it and created its digital representation that lives on Blockchain. Blockchain guarantees that the ownership information is immutable.
Unfortunately, some problems need to be solved before we can successfully tokenize real-world assets on Blockchain. Main problem stems from the fact that so far, no country has a solid regulation for cryptocurrency. For example, what happens if a company that handles tokenization sells the property? They have no legal rights on the property and thus are not protected by the law. Another problem is that this system brings us back some sort of centralization. The whole idea of Blockchain and especially smart contracts is to create a trustless environment.
Tokenization is a method that converts a digital value into a digital token. Tokenization can be used as a method that converts rights to an asset into a digital token.
The tokenization system can be implemented local to the data that is tokenized or in a centralized model. We will discuss tokenization implementations that can provide scalability across hybrid cloud models. This session will position different data protection techniques, use cases for blockchain, and protecting blockchain.

DIGITAL STOCKS USING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY THE POSSIBLE FUTURE OF STOCKS?IAEME Publication
Bitcoin is the first and most successful digital currency in the world. It trends in
the news almost daily, with glowing reviews of the many benefits of an alternative and
international currency. This paper explains the innovative aspect of the technological
platform used to transfer Bitcoin from one party to another. This technology is called
the Blockchain. The Blockchain eschews a bank or other intermediary and allows
parties to transfer funds directly to one another, using a peer-to-peer system. This
disruptive technology has done for money transfers what email did for sending mail —
by removing the need for a trusted third party just as email removed the need for using
the post office to send mail. This technology mainly used for peer-to-peer money
transfers, can also be extended to accomplish other forms of transfers. Blockchain
technology can be used to buy and sell stocks. Real world stocks can be tokenized into
digital stocks which can be easily transferred using peer-to-peer. These digital stocks
act similar to digital currency whose price is real time and fluctuates. Stocks
exchanged completely peer-to-peer could resolve many of the issues facing the stock
market today, including high frequency trading and short sales.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

• Still only 0.05% of global crowdfunding

• Small pool of ‘buyers’ (Razormind: $1.9m from 290 individuals)

Needs re different
15.8% of startups are building products categorized as ‘infrastructure’. This is down from 18% from February.
Bridges - interoperability between blockchains and extending the bitcoin blockchain functionality. BTCRelay, Rootstock, Blockstream, and Interledger
On / Off Ramps With 28%, startups with ‘no HQ’ constitute the second largest ‘location’ of blockchain startups and projects after the United States. This could either be explained by the nascency of the industry or the blockchain industry could have the potential to be a stateless market that doesn’t necessarily require on/off ramps.
That said, 1.4% of startups are based in Hong Kong and another 1.9% in Switzerland. This suggests that blockchain startups are very much aware of friendly regulatory environments & tax laws.
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Identity 3.3% of startups are focusing on ‘identity and reputation’. There is a real need for a standard or clear winner in the space, that can be deployed easily by startups.
It is impossible to pick a winner because success will be more about geopolitics than technical superiority. Identity is a problem that permeates the global economy broadly, but ShoCard, Airbitz, and Blockstack
Reputation: There are 33 companies building identity and reputation services, that is a duplication of effort and not sustainable, we expect to see consolidation in the market very soon.
3.6% of startups engaging in ‘governance and transparency’ activities which covers things like decentralized voting, new company and governance structures, and third-sector structures.

We estimate 1/3 of are beyond POC and at MVP (minimum viable product), with varying levels of customer traction with modest professional funding.
software or communications including mining companies, wallet, most infrastructure
finance and insurance is more the payment processors, exchanges and trading
The areas getting the most level of funding and progress, beyond Capital Markets, seem to be around provenance / chain of custody, governance (corporate, public and NGO), Health, Energy, Insurance and IoT.
