Redbelly Network — Month in Review July 2023
✅ More than 50% of the year is now behind us. It’s incredible how time flies when you’re having fun …or totally consumed with launching what we hope will be a revolutionary open finance platform that will change the way real-world assets are stored and exchanged.
☎️ Message from Prof Vincent Gramoli, Founder and CTO
July has been a whirlwind! I spent most of July travelling through Europe where I attended the IEEE CSF conference where my co-author presented a new resilient-optimal family of consensus protocols, called Basilic.
As well, I was lucky enough to attend EthCC in Paris just a week ago. EthCC was electric. So many passionate DLT and Blockchain enthusiasts, so many new ideas and applications being launched. I am awed and inspired by the international community of forward-thinking innovators and entrepreneurs who attended, presented, and showcased their ideas.
Back home everything was also moving forward and I am very proud of our team who are working incredibly hard to expand our Devnet and automatically register all its users.
🏆 Achievements in July
