Speaker: Edison Lim

Blockchain is a topic of great interest, and it has the potential to radically change the economy that we know of today. At the core is the idea is decentralised application - which consists of smart contracts that could connect any developers to a network of global liquidity through public blockchain network. Blockchain and smart contract could potentially be more efficient in bringing together multiple parties to work together, automating process flow and bringing efficiency through automated pieces of pre-agreed logic called smart contract.
