Loi Luu, CEO‌ and Co-Founder of Kyber Network, is one among our esteemed panel of speakers at Genesis DevCon. He developed an interest for blockchain and cryptocurrencies while completing his PhD in Computer Science at the National University of Singapore and wrote a thesis on Secure Public Blockchain Protocols at Scale. Loi Luu, along with his early academic collaborators, ultimately founded the Kyber Network — an on-chain liquidity protocol that aggregates liquidity from a range of reserves in order to facilitate instant and secure token exchange in any decentralised application.

Dr Luu has also developed frameworks and tools like Oyente — the first open source smart contract tool and Elastico — a sharding protocol for public blockchains etc. He has been widely appreciated for his work and has received reputed commendations like the MIT‌ Innovators Below 35 award and was featured in Forbes Asia’s 30 under 30 List in 2018.

Dr Luu’s talk at Genesis DevCon in November 2019 will focus on “Decentralised Liquidity as a building block for a better financial systems”. T‌he talk will explore the role of decentralised liquidity in the financial ecosystem and the different ways in which finance projects are utilising it. Dr Luu will also touch base on what Kyber does to make decentralised liquidity available for the DeFi market by making the financial system more connected and transparent.

We believe that through his talk, Dr Loi Luu will inspire the development of a more decentralised economic ecosystem .He foresees a wide range of applications with DeFi like important wealth-building and business tools involving loans, insurance, investments and other financial services. In addition, these applications will soon become globally available to anyone with an internet connection and a smartphone and enable them to connect to the public blockchain network, using DeFi platforms and participate in the global digital economy.

The adoption of a decentralised financial economy not only lays the foundation for a plethora of opportunities for the usage of blockchain, but also essentially means that it will replace conventional wire transfers with faster, more secure, and cheaper crypto payments. Moreover, these payments can happen over thousands of miles (across countries), between clients even in remote regions without the need for bank accounts or financial intermediaries while still maintaining transactions that are censorship-resistant and verifiable. Consequently, this will pave the way to an ideal, decentralised and democratic system.

Come meet Dr Loi Luu and other renowned thought leaders in the blockchain technology industry. Participate in laying the groundwork towards a more secure, faster, and decentralised system at Genesis DevCon on 24 & 25 November 2019 at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.
