Silicon Valley’s NFX Guild Partners with Synereo to Accelerate dApp Dev Teams

In a major endorsement, the acclaimed Silicon Valley-based NFX Guild announced its partnership with Synereo in developing an ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps) on top of Synereo’s Blockchain 2.0 platform.

In an unprecedented move, NFX Guild announced the Blockchain 2.0 Program within the Guild, where it will select up to 3 teams that are actively building their dApps using Synereo’s tech stack for the next class of the NFX Guild accelerator. This means that up to a fourth of NFX’s next class will be composed of dApp developers, who build their applications on top of Synereo’s Blockchain 2.0 platform.

James Currier, Managing Partner at NFX, explained the Guild’s decision to choose Synereo’s technology for the project, stating:

“If you do the analysis, Synereo comes out as the superior platform for developing decentralized apps. It runs fully distributed instead of massively replicated. It’s JVM top to bottom rather than Python. It’s forward compatible, vs other platforms anticipating multiple hard- forks. Synereo has the identity layer built in which provides distribution advantages and network effects. Lastly, fine-grained concurrency, vs other platforms’ linearity, provides greater speeds and scalability”

Gigi Levy-Weiss, NFX Founding Partner, added:

“We found the Synereo team to have a unique combination of cryptocurrency and modern digital finance understanding alongside a real understanding of developer requirements and the know-how of how to build strong developer tools. We strongly believe this combination puts Synereo in a great position to be the leader in the adoption of blockchain tech into the everyday world.”

The exclusive dApp development program is accessible only to a select few of the most promising teams. To kickstart the program, NFX Guild and Synereo will invite developers to participate in a hackathon, presenting and developing their ideas for Synereo-powered decentralized applications. Winners of the hackathon, as well as handpicked laureates from Synereo’s Project 11 grant project, will be invited to apply to the prestigious NFX Accelerator Program. Accepted teams will receive $120,000 in investment funds from NFX as well as an AMP grant from Synereo.

NFX Guild is a mentorship-driven startup accelerator founded by partners and long-term tech investors James Currier, Gigi Levy-Weiss, and Stan Chudnovsky. The Guild has financial backers including CRV, Shasta Ventures, and Greylock Partners. NFX Guild selects portfolio companies through scouts as compared to an open application process. The organization focuses on businesses that rely on network effects, and holds two annual programs for startups in Silicon Valley.

Synereo has recently graduated from the NFX Guild’s unique accelerator program, and has since then raised more than $3.5mil in its ongoing Funding Campaign, during which the company offers its AMP cryptocurrency at a fixed price, and equity to qualifying investors at BnkToTheFuture.

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less ...
