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, […]

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.

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.
