Welcome to our rundown of the final day at Davos! We have had a packed schedule this week during the World Economic Forum (WEF). Over the last four days we have attended more than 45 sessions and events, launched our very own MOCCA (MPC On-Chain Custody Advanced) solution at a keynote address, and participated in a panel on cross-chain liquidity.
Without further ado, here are today’s themes and highlights:
Our Chief of Growth, Shirly Valge, took the stage. This time she featured on a panel on Web3 and digital identity (dID)—a topic very close to our hearts. Panelists touched on user data control, fraud, and compatibility issues between various eID, dID and SSI systems. Shirly highlighted our recent eID minimum viable product (MVP) for the Swiss government, a decentralized self-sovereign identity solution that uses multiparty computation (MPC) on the blockchain to enable data privacy, security, and control. The panel also highlighted the growing need for self-sovereign identities and the necessity for the governments to ensure the utmost security of individuals’ private data.
A main thread throughout today and during the entirety of Davos has been infrastructure. The sentiment was that, fundamentally, there must be a focus on infrastructure if we want to make transacting easier, cheaper, and more efficient in the Metaverse or Web3. With blockchain as the “pipes” and smart contracts to help direct traffic we have technology that can potentially serve multiple user needs—which brings us to the next theme.
Security was prominent today and in most sessions throughout the week, whether implicitly or explicitly. Today, it was security in Bitcoin mining, digital identity, and in the Web3 venture landscape. As an essential part of trust, a key theme of WEF, the feeling in Davos was more of a question: how can technology facilitate trust? To that end, discussions, both in sessions and in person, focused on solutions that specifically balance scalability, usability, interoperability with digital security and privacy.

Welcome to our rundown of the fourth day at Davos. We had another busy day filled with sessions and meetings. Below are the main themes and highlights for this penultimate day:
Cross-chain liquidity is essential for the efficient functioning of digital assets and decentralized finance (DeFi) markets. Partisia Blockchain Co-Founder Brian Gallagher spoke about the necessity of multichain solutions, like our just-yesterday-released MOCCA (MPC On-Chain Custody Advanced) solution. This is a programmable, decentralized, multichain custody solution that makes custody of digital assets significantly easier. Here, as was discussed on the panel, it is important that users be able to bridge assets on their preferred blockchains, making blockchain agnostic products key. The panelists also discussed important topics like AML, regulation, and protocol interoperability. What stood out was that regulators worldwide are adapting to the realities of DeFi and revisiting existing legislations to facilitate the adoption of new class of assets.
CBDCs and stablecoins have been a key part of discussions around cryptocurrencies over the past year, both positive and negative. Yet, as many nations have already launched or are planning to roll out CBDC pilots and the world is entertaining cashless societies, how CBDCs and stablecoins can co-exist alongside one other to increase financial inclusion needs to be considered. The panel on these two items was sweeping, considering regulation, stability, trust, and even collaboration between stablecoins and CBDCs. A certain fact is that more central banks will pilot CBDCs in the coming years.
One of the threads throughout the World Economic Forum (WEF) has been trust, and related security. Today, we attended WEF’s session on navigating cybersecurity. Something particularly important is that, according to WEF, 43% of organizational leaders estimate that in the next two years they will experience a damaging cyber-attack. The sentiment in this session was that cybersecurity is a collective responsibility and blockchain technology has a greater role to play.

Welcome to our rundown of the third day at Davos. Today, besides meetings and attending sessions, we launched our very own decentralized, programmable, multichain and multiparty computation (MPC) on-chain product: MPC On-Chain Custody Advanced solution. In short – MOCCA. A custody milestone. This slated nicely into the day’s big themes:
Crypto markets were a key point of focus. Market-making and its intersection with algorithmic trading, market makers’ roles in price stability and volatility mitigation, and emerging trends were discussed. Our announcement of our MOCCA (MPC On-Chain Custody Advanced solution) during our keynote address highlighted how a decentralized, programmable, and multichain solution can redefine securing digital assets and make custodial management significantly easier. A need particularly relevant with the recent spot Bitcoin approvals by the US SEC.
Security, privacy, and transparency were the next major themes. This is reflected in the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) main focus for this year “Rebuilding trust” by honing on the fundamental principles fueling it, specifically transparency, consistency, and accountability. Panelists spoke on the importance of balancing transparency, security, and privacy in decentralized systems—a need fulfilled by our MOCCA product, alongside regulatory oversight. The main takeaways of which were that the industry needs infrastructure that will enhance transparency and help it widen its use.
Lastly, the financing side of the market was point on center stage. Contributors and founders gave an overview of their liquid crypto underwritings, the role of trading platforms in liquidity provision, and risks. The key takeaways were that liquid assets can offer contributors significant upside while mitigating much of the risk normally associated with financing in the asset class and the importance of technology, which facilitates trust between multiple parties.
We also had many meetings and attended thought-provoking sessions, such as WEF’s session on the risks and opportunities artificial intelligence (AI) brings into our daily lives. The Wall Street Journal’s session on managing risks, technology and compliance echoed our firm belief that tech plays a critical role in managing risks.

The second day is a wrap! Today’s programming in Davos was all about digital assets, and we attended a thought-provoking session on research and development (R&D). Today’s themes were as follows:
Trust, and rebuilding it, is one of World Economic Forum’s 2024 themes, and one of our focuses at Partisia Blockchain. Today, our co-founder Brian Gallagher participated in the panel about the sustainability of the recent growth in crypto. Panelists spoke specifically on building decentralized trust networks and how these work around data protection—something at the heart of our multiparty computation (MPC) approach to facilitating transactions of all kinds, whether votes, permissions, or digital assets. They made the relevant points that for maturing industry trust between multiple parties, privacy of each party and an infrastructure that can facilitate that is vital for the long-term growth.
An important, related, issue to trust and data protection is risk management, especially for crypto assets. Again, as on the first day, regulation took center stage and the vital role it plays in managing risk in digital assets markets and protecting market participants. The feeling was that each party bears the responsibility in a healthy, sustainable and inclusive market environment.
The thread up until now in our presence at Davos seems to be how technology can be used to make essential financial and other processes more efficient and safer while mitigating risks. We attended WEF’s sessions on technology’s role in addressing air pollution and innovations disrupting research and development (R&D). We also attended the Wall Street Journal’s session on artificial intelligence (AI) and its risks. And here again we saw ample room for blockchain technology to improve processes in a way that fits several use cases while minimizing risk. It truly has the potential to be the technology of the future. The feeling was of big corporates’ willingness to invest more in emerging technologies, such as blockchain, to increase transparency and mitigate potential risks.
