Davos 2024: Blockchain, technology of the future

Davos 2024: Blockchain, technology of the future

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 in decentralized networks
  • Risk management
  • Technology’s influence on improving R&D

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.

Davos 2024: The first of the first at Davos

Davos 2024: The first of the first at Davos 

We kicked off the first day in Davos during the World Economic Forum (WEF) with the first day of the inaugural Crypto2030! It is an honor to be a 2024 Edition Sponsor and unite with many important organizations from all over the world to advance the Web3 space. Especially during the WEF. A gathering attended by thousands from governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and leading businesses and technology firms with more than 200 sessions and countless meetings.

Let’s dive into the first day’s blockchain-related themes.

  • Regulation
  • Decentralized Finance
  • Tokenization 

Regulations everywhere are on the rise. Panelists today covered the landscape and what the future has in store. Discussions touched on Europe’s recent Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), and actions by supervisory and governing bodies like Singapore’s Monetary Authority (MAS), Switzerland’s Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). In short, key infrastructure, such ours, will be key in increasing security, privacy and transparency for all market participants alike.

Taking in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem in its entirety was also prominent. This developing ecosystem can increase trust and reliability, something close to our hearts at Partisia Blockchain and, coincidentally, a key theme of the WEF – “Rebuilding trust”. Participants discussed everything from liquidity and risk management, lending protocols, derivatives, and how DeFi is disrupting traditional finance. The feeling was that trustless technology might be one of the solutions to regain trust.

The third theme was tokenization, which has the potential to transform the financial landscape as it can be applied to a range of assets. At the center of this is blockchain technology, which drastically simplifies the process of issuing securities. Participants demystified tokenization, telling how tangible assets can be tokenized, ownership proved and the benefits of immutable records.

We also had a very productive day speaking to leaders and we attended an engaging WEF session on the role of openness in science while taking on questions of trustworthiness and bias. From the discussions, we were further convinced the key role blockchain infrastructure can not only play in boosting trust, but in supporting science’s core tenants of reproducibility and collaboration.
