VNT Weekly | VNT Chain Project Progress

VNT WEEKLY, October 7

This is the weekly report of VNT Chain in which you will find about the latest project updates, community news and development progress. It would be a great honor for us to share exciting news and build the ecology with you!

Project Updates

Recently, the VNT Chain project entered the beautiful Lion City-Singapore and was invited to the Dropbox-BlkChain Cocktail party. The event was co-sponsored by Consensus Lab, MARS FINANCE and BRC. The event brought together the Singapore blockchain. More than 50 industry major foundations and more than 20 domestic and international authoritative media were present.

Liu Zhenguang, chief scientist of VNT Chain, who is also a postdoctoral fellow in computer science at the National University of Singapore and a senior expert in blockchain/big data, made a wonderful speech about the project at the event. He introduced the origin and background of the VNT Chain project to the guests from all over the world. "We are doing something to reconstruct the relationship of human trust. This is an ecological world that faces the world and leads to the future."
