“Fractal is important because it’s the first web3 project that is tackling the ad market. People should be given the tools to truly understand how their data is being shared and used for ads, instead of getting ads based on personal data that was never consented to be shared. Fractal helps to give people more control over their data.”

“A free and open Web is a cornerstone of contemporary democracy. And it is under threat — you know it in your bones, and so do we. That’s why we’re building the Fractal Protocol: to rebalance the incentives on the Web in order to help it remain free and open. We finally have the tech for a new equilibrium that respects user privacy, rewards content creators, and protects advertisers from fraud.”
The Program
After a welcoming address, Ingo Rübe and Bruce Pon will present two keynotes to kick off the evening. Following each keynote, there will be an opportunity to ask the keynote speakers questions. Julian Leitloff and Julio Santos will then introduce the Fractal Protocol and address any open questions from the audience.
The program will continue with panels after a short break. In the first panel, Carolina, our moderator, will discuss the technical implications of a decentralised identity layer and data ownership with Peter Grosskopf, Bruce Pon and Fabian Vogelsteller. The second panel, moderated by Julian will discuss the state of the Adtech industry and the impact that Web3 could have with his guests Ingo Rübe, Aurel Stenzel and Rotem Dar.
