Blockchain Developer Report Q2 2020

In 2020, a new entrant secured a top 5 spot in share of smart contracts, dapps and daily active users. 3 top-20 protocols suffered greater than 50% declines in developer activity, and one protocol saw a meteoric 931% rise in core protocol development. At Outlier Ventures, we’ve indexed millions of commits across thousands of repositories to compile a report on blockchain developer activity over the past year.

Cross-Enterprise Collaborative Analytics with Enigma

Homomorphic encryption and multi-party computation have long been heralded as the advent of privacy-preserving outsourced compute, however, for practical applications, these technologies have been in research limbo since the 1970s. Leveraging a new technology from Intel chipsets known as SGX, Enigma has created a practical implementation of private compute in the Rust programming language. Rust, […]

ArBot, a Fetch.AI-Ocean integration

In the lead-up to the Diffusion DevCon, we at Outlier Ventures continue expanding and developing The Convergence Stack to make it as easy as possible for developers to use. Today, we’re releasing ArBot, a data arbitrage bot and tool for moving datasets between the Fetch.AI and Ocean Protocol marketplaces. Read on to learn how you can perform arbitrage with data as an asset.

The Convergence Stack webinar featuring ANVIL

Outlier Ventures supports the development of the next era of digital infrastructure: The Convergence Stack. They anticipate the convergence of blockchains with IoT, AI and robotics and the stack is the set of decentralized technologies that are needed to replace the broken Web. Outlier Ventures Labs invite you to a virtual conversation with two technical […]

Outlier Ventures Labs

This means they must be active developers, administrators and participants of networks. We call this Outlier Labs, and it has been our commitment to the space since 2014 and includes a multitude of activities such as: building apps, hackathons, dev cons, running network nodes and applied academic research. Recent work: Decentralised data to decentralised data […]

Data Science in Blockchain

Blockchain is the ultimate database for data science. After all, blockchains are open, high-availability ledgers whose maintainers have an economic incentive to keep them perfectly up-to-date. They’re highly reliable and architected to be as small as possible. They make sourcing data easy.

ANVIL: A Fetch.AI and Sovrin bridge

ANVIL, is Outlier Ventures’ latest app in the convergence stack. ANVIL brings trusted agents to Fetch.AI using Sovrin’s verifiable credentials.

Enabling privacy-preserving Machine Learning

Today, a world without machine learning is hard to imagine. From voice assistants to the analysis of medical data to self-driving cars, these algorithms power the latest and most advanced technologies. All this is enabled by large amounts of data, provided by individuals and businesses.

Evaluation of Privacy-Preserving Technologies for Machine Learning

With vast amounts of data available to us today, the question of privacy and responsible handling of this data becomes increasingly critical. Not only is data privacy required by law in some cases, e.g., for medical or financial data. Additionally, the desire of customers and clients for discretion and privacy is growing and has become a topic of public focus.

What we do at Outlier labs

If you think investing in crypto is hard - investing in our Convergence Thesis, how DLT combines and converges with IoT, Big Data and AI is even harder. The technical complexity of keeping pace with multiple deep technologies and their interactions is hugely demanding and requires a dedicated team of technical analysts who can only really learn by doing. This means they must be active developers, administrators and participants of networks.

Making Things Happen in Crypto: Developers, Developers, Developers!

The long-term success of token economies and the protocols they are built around is led by fundamentals, and ultimately adoption. How useful is the protocol, to how many end users? This question is fundamental to our vision of the Convergence Economy.

3 Year Partnership with Imperial College’s Blockchain Lab

The Imperial College Centre for Cryptocurrency Research & Engineering (IC3RE) at Imperial College London has joined forces with blockchain investment group outlierventures.io to undertake a 3-year R&D program focused on the convergence of industrial blockchain with other ‘deep tech’ technologies like IoT, machine learning and autonomous robotics.
