Mapping Decentralised Finance (DeFi)
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. DeFi is a peer-to-peer electronic financial instrument system and refers to projects that are using cryptographic tokens and blockchains enabling anyone to issue, transfer and own financial instruments.
Token Curated Registry Part 1
In this project, as part of Outlier Ventures’ Research Programme with the Imperial Centre for Cryptocurrency Research and Engineering and in collaboration with Ocean Protocol and MusicMap, a group of six students from Imperial College took on the task of building a TCR Simulator.
Deployment Phase of Token Ecosystem Creation Part 1 & 2: Testing & Iteration + System Safety
Kicking off our series on the Deployment Phase we will discuss the importance of testing and network safety. Deployment is focused on system integration and continued model optimisation through testing and iteration.
Decentralized Data Exchanges Give Value To Data In Smart Cities
These marketplaces are made possible because of the technologies lower in stack from hardware, distribution, routing, verification, and interfacing. To learn more about the Convergence Stack, a valuable framework for understanding and building the next phase of digital infrastructure in cities, download the paper here. Decentralised Data Marketplaces Without a free flow of data, there […]
Decentralised And Open Data Is The Foundation Of A Smart City
This new infrastructure requires a host of technologies from the hardware to secure the data to the tools to distribute the data like distributed ledgers. It will also need new routing and authentication technologies, interfacing technologies to make it easier to build applications, and new services, marketplaces and applications for users to benefit from what […]
The Convergence Stack
The Convergence Stack is a further refinement of the Outlier Ventures investment thesis first published in 2016 anticipating the convergence of blockchains with IoT, AI and eventually robotics.
