Decentralized finance, or Defi is a system by which financial products become available on a public decentralized blockchain network. That makes them open to anyone to use, rather than going through middlemen like banks or brokerages. Decentralized finance aims to use technology to remove intermediaries between parties in a financial transaction. The components of Defi are stablecoins,use cases, and a software stack that enables the development of applications.

FILLING IN THE GAPS – DESIGN INSIGHTS (Workshop)sinnerschrader
As designers we often build models of the people we are building for and their problems we are trying to solve. But how often do we understand our own models, and our own model making? What happens if we consciously uncover the gaps and differences between the our own individual models and those belonging to the people we are working with? What would be the benefit? In this talk Jason will explore how understanding how we build models — taking signals from our environment and experience, pattern matching and how we fill in the gaps — can allow us to build better models, collaborate more effectively, be more creative, and ultimately connect more effectively with the people we are serving by building products.

MORE THAN WECHAT – PLATFORM TRENDS IN ASIAsinnerschrader
Two trends – mobile only and consolidation – define the next decade. The world’s growth markets are mobile first and mobile only. This leaves North American and Western European startups, run by digital as opposed to mobile natives, at a distinct disadvantage. At the same time the big are getting bigger while the small find it hard to survive.
Tarama is a futurist with love of data and passion for marketing results. In 2012, her company Adobe started actively mining its wealth of data, to discover trends and perspectives of interest to marketers, most of whom were (and still are) struggling to get ahead of what is happening in the digital marketplace. They wondered: Is there anything that would better prepare marketers for this very challenging and ever-changing new world? Tamara Gaffney will show some of her findings and explain how every company can do marketing that is useful and how marketers can do better.
The web was first conceived 25 years ago, by an Englishman. Fifteen years later, as the first crop of dot.coms were going bust, close to 60% of its users (and all Alexa “top 20” sites) came from developed nations. Fast forward to today, and the picture is strikingly different.
Almost half the Alexa “top 20” now comes from emerging economies. Economies where close to 3 billion people have yet to use the web, but thanks to mobile — won’t have to wait much longer to discover it.
This presentation will introduce you to fascinating and innovative services that are re-shaping the web to serve the consumers of tomorrow. Driven by mobile, the power of personal relationships, and the breakneck pace of globalisation, these services provide a glimpse into the business models, opportunities and challenges we will face, when growing a truly global web.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

The difference is we all own this ledger. We can all use it. We don't need a central intermediary to manage it for us
This removes their costs, time delays & censorship
When two or more of us transacts we all simulatously see that change recorded in real time.
assets are tokens, long unique numbers, no two people can own at the same time
This ensures provenance
All transactions are encrypted and ledger is uneditable or immutable
These transactions are processed, or mined, by a distributed network but are pseudo anonymous so they cant be corrupted
The majority of those miners ultimately decide the rules of the network - consensus
Smart contracts are simple computer programs that can be built onto of this ledger to automate tasks.
This can be as simple as an escrow service or or to manage a sequence of events in a complex supply chain
The rules that govern these tasks are themselves also incorruptible
This means whole markets can be automated with surety
blockchainS plural
Evolving as open source

Divergence – permissioned / unpermissioned
Inherently fractious
Changes / improvements decided by 51% of network
Tension, ideals + commercial pragmatism
In actuality networks led made by cabals
IMAGINE A FACEBOOK FORK
uniquely verifiable tokens can be purely digital or associated with physical assets
they can be tracked as they move through a supply chain
this means provenance
Sovereign identity KYC
Marketplaces between not just people but things
Ledgers provide auditability, which is why regulators are warming to the idea
Digital cash is much more preferable to Govts than just cash
two very different driving motives
Reconfiguring 2.0 to have Web was intended
Without need for professional investors (good / bad)
This more so now private money in the VC world is drying up.
less relevant where a startup is an application (or DApp) whose use-case should be clear to a traditional professional investor who can provide not just capital

Clearing and settlement costs billions and, according to Santander’s 2015 report LINK, it is estimated that moving this into a digital record, near real-time and over the internet, will save the industry $20 billion a year in more in overhead costs due to D+3. D+3, or T+3, is the three-day clearing and settlement cycle

Lets look at a future blockchain enabled convergence scenario.
AI, Autonomous Robotics / Drones, 3d Printing, Blockchain
A car’s IoT sensor picks up a non critical part needs replacing
The car has an identity on an automotive ledger. Associated to it it has a smart contract 3rd party warranty which means it just needs to pay 50%
The car (as a wallet) orders a new part from a parts manufacturer for $1000
The cars warranty smart contract pays $500 towards it
All money is held in a smart contract escrow on the ledger until the part has been delivered to the garage to be fitted
The parts manufacturer 3d printer receives the order of $1000.
It pays $500 to the manufacturer to print the associated 3d cad design knowing with surety the customers money is held in escrow
Once printed an instruction is sent to the supply-chain ledger where a drone is ordered from an autonomous fleet for $100
The drone collects the package credits $100 pays $5 to its insurer and $95 to the drone fleet network DAO
The car is instructed to drive itself to the garage to fit the part
All this is done without any meat including accountants
An AI audits the ledger to check for anomalies which are reported for end of month reconciliation
Why on a blockchain? because all these various parties need to trust the network is secure and the flow of money gets to where it needs to get to and cant be corrupted. distributed
