DISTRIBUTED RUNTIME + PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE FOR ORGANIZATION + PROTOCOLS FOR VALUE EXPRESSION, MEASUREMENT & EXCHANGE

Organized together with CoinFund

We will be in New York to do another round of Cryptoeconomics Working Sessions at NYU (Wed 9/26). You can register to the NYU event here.

We will do also a more technical session on the lower levels of the ECSA Tech Stack (Fri 9/28, you can register here), to go through in more detail:

1. Gravity: Distributed Runtime

Gravity node provides with secure computational containment, serialization, persistence, networking, and hardware interfaces to be utilized up the stack.

Gravity Protocol: Informational Integrity

The Gravity protocol provides event ordering, scaling, strong security, fail recovery and high availability. It ensures network wide consistency, and enables distributed atomic transactions.

2. Space: Organizational Expression

Space is a capability oriented organizational development environment and language to easily reason about, describe and program organizations.

Space Protocol: Organizational Interoperability

The Space Protocol allows distributed applications “Spaces” to interoperate, regardless of their implementation substrate.

The technical session is organized together with CoinFund — thanks Jake and Olga! — and takes place on Friday 9/28 at 5pm-7pm in Brooklyn.

You can register to the technical session here. We hope to do an informal but intensive meet for everyone deep in next gen computational architectures and programmable organizations. Welcome.
