Interested in decentralization and blockchain technologies, especially the ones offering privacy-preserving features by design
An awesome blockchain year !
It has been an awesome year… an awesome blockchain year… and yes, I am not talking about Cryptocurrencies as we are focused on the blockchain technology and not necessarily in that particular token… we have been too busy building and there was not too much time left to contribute to this blog… It has been a looong 12 months: early January we started a blockchain start-up called Lumeeira (https://lumeeira.io) and late January got a Secret Network (https://scrt.network) ecosystem grant to start...

A DeComm DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) for an even more decentralized blockchain space ?
DAOs are probably the most innovative concept in the blockchain space, they are internet-native organizations collectively owned and managed by their participating members. They have built-in treasuries that are only accessible with the approval of their participating members and decisions are made via proposals the group votes on during a specified period, in other words DAOs are blockchain-based entities governed by self-organizing communities. Some argue that a DAO is meant to operate like...

What a genomics lab in the blockchain should look like ?
While web3 is under development and blockchain technologies are flourishing building the foundations for that decentralized and privacy-preserving web, the timing is perfect to discuss how a genomics lab should look like in a blockchain space. Decentralization first, please: while a physical space is still needed, it does not mean everything should happen in only one place. Imagine a scenario where many people in several countries are looking to sequence (i) pathogens genomes to identify whic...

NFTs beyond digital art
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are the digital representation of a rare/unique asset (I think digital media is a better definition) registered in the smart contract of a blockchain network. Twe two most common smart contract standards are ERC-20 and ERC-721. The first one is used to mint smart contracts representing cryptocurrency fungible tokens like $ETH (on the Ethereum blockchain). As of January 2022, around 488,032 ERC-20 token contracts are available on the Ethereum blockchain, according to...
