Hello everyone,

This week’s project update will focus on the next big events we’ll be attending in France and South Korea, and share what has kept us busy these last days.

iExec is sponsoring the Ethereum Community Conference

EthCC (Ethereum Community Conference) is a conference that will take place in Paris at the Conservatoire Nationale des Arts et Métiers (CNAM) on the 8th to 10th March 2018.

iExec is proud to sponsor this event, which is one of the biggest in Europe. Many actors of the blockchain industry will be present at the conference, including the Ethereum Foundation, Ledger, ConsenSys, Shapeshift, uPort, Oraclize, or Melonport.

François Branciard, our Ethereum Developer, will conduct a livecoding workshop on day 1, from 11:30 to 12:30 AM. The goal of this workshop is to guide developers in deploying applications on the iExec network.

Julien Béranger and Wassim Bendella will present iExec on Saturday, at 3:30 PM. The speech’s goal is to reflect on what has been accomplished, what developers can already do with iExec, and outline the next steps on our journey.

iExec in South Korea

In order to discuss and study the tokenization trend, its impact and implications, the 2018 Tokensky Blockchain Conference will take place in Seoul, Republic of Korea, on March 14th-15th, 2018.

Part of the iExec team will attend this conference, and stay in Korea for a week to meet the local blockchain community, Ethereum developers, investment funds and exchanges.

Stay in touch

iExec re-invents cloud computing by building a decentralized marketplace where everyone can monetize their applications, servers, and data-sets. Blockchains cannot support the kind of computational needs that many dapps will require, and this problem will only compound exponentially as more dapps release their working platforms and products. Blockchains need a solution that allows them to compute off-chain and bring only the results on-chain. iExec provides exactly that solution.
