How would your life change if you could freely create anything you wanted, share it with the world, get paid instantly, and know it can never be stolen? Sounds like a pipe dream; a utopia where humans are no longer greedy and have full creative freedom. For the past week, I have been living in the glorious turmoil that is SXSW, the global convergence of the music, film, gaming, and tech industries. With all of the social and technological revolutions I see around me, why can’t this be a reality? SXSW hosts a hackathon that brings together creative technologists from all over the world to build mind-blowing projects in 24 hours. The goal is to build dreams, inspire creativity, and foster . My team built Dapster built a music streaming service that helps up-and-coming artists earn money faster while sharing their creative content openly and securely with the world. We achieved this by combining two innovative solutions both reliant on cryptographic asset management ( a.k.a “the blockchain” ). While blockchain may seem like an overhyped buzzword, it is far more than just Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. It’s a revolutionary piece of technology that can empower people to create amazing new things. We used it to build Dapster which won of several top prizes at SXSW’s 2018 Hackathon. community The first half of our hackathon project involved building a music streaming service which we created with the help of . They provided over 14,000 songs for us to use through Universal Music Group’s catalog for the course of the hackathon. Every listener on Dapster gets free streaming with no ads, no selling data, and the artists still get the money they deserve. How can such a dream come true? You are paying for the music, but not with cash. As you are streaming music, we use your computer to generate cryptocurrency, so instead of spending money you are creating money! But wait, that was just the first part of our hack. Capitol Music Group How would your life change if you could freely create anything you wanted, share it with the world, get paid instantly, and know it can never be stolen? “What if I don’t want to be involved in the black magic of cryptocurrencies?” non-believers may ask. You can pay an upfront fee for your favorite songs just like iTunes. This is where we introduce an exciting new application of blockchain. Before we send you the song you just bought, we encrypt your file, record your purchase on the blockchain, and issue something called an token for your individual song. The next time you play that song, we check to make sure you have bought the song and decrypt it for you, using the purchasing information stored in the token associated with your file. This means that even after you have bought the song, only you can listen to it. It can’t be sent to your friend Becky who also loves Drake (don’t we all), used in another song, or resold to someone else illegally. All this while still being able to listen to your song anywhere on any device and even offline just like any other streaming service. ERC721 2018 Hackathon Beatbox Performance Beatboxing world champion and North America champion perform duet on stage at SXSW Hackathon after Dapster wins first in 2 categories. www.facebook.com Dapster allows musicians to have the creative and financial freedom to experiment and cultivate their artistic style while also being able to reach more fans. And because of the way cryptocurrency mining works, artists are paid per second you listen to their song. In other words, they are rewarded based on their fans’ overall engagement with their music, not just arbitrary clicks on the play button. This makes financial compensation more equal between upstart artists and global pop-stars. If you want to learn more or are interested in using Dapster, we are building on our hackathon project further at Dystrack.com Can you believe that all of this was built in just 24 hours? It wouldn’t have been possible without , , , or who sponsored the hackathon and mentored us throughout the following days during a private incubator. We’re excited to keep building Dapster and make it even bigger and better! SXSW Capitol Music Group Hackernoon Consensys — Written by Malik Wormsby Team Dapster: 1. Santiago Moreno 2. Copperstick6 3.

Depending on how plugged-in you are to the crypto space, you may be familiar with some or all of these happenings in the past 180 days: These days I spend hours a day being “plugged-in” to crypto news. There is just so much to read, or listen to, or watch, or try. I have put together a guide that strives to be a comprehensive lay-of-the-land for crypto news. I’m taking a top-down approach, starting with news sources that give a bird’s eye view, to the ecosystems on almost every social media platform. Each ecosystem is actually quite rich, so I try to do something to capture the Lay of the Land for each one. General Crypto News Follow the blockchain sections of financial publications , and all have sections devoted to blockchain. Forbes CNBC Bloomberg They offer very informed views on the blockchain industry, but in many ways present only the tip of the iceberg, explaining major price movements after the fact. Here’s a fun graph to illustrate what I mean. Below are words from crypto headlines coming from the business pubs (Forbes, CNBC, and Bloomberg), vs headlines from crypto pubs. You can interact with the chart, some interesting observations can be made — but the main point is that the crypto pubs cover a lot more detail. [See interactive one here: ] https://observablehq.com/@coinfeeds/untitled Crypto publications There are actually a lot of crypto publications, with new ones cropping up all the time, so which ones should you focus on? Well I tried to select them in an objective way, so here is a list of the most engaged crypto pubs, as measured by number of comments on crypto subreddits over a year. (I believe that comments are the best measure of engagement, not posts) bitcoinist.com bloomberg.com cnbc.com cointelegraph coindesk coinrivet.com cryptobriefing cryptoslate dailyhodl.com decrypt forbes.com beincrypto hackernoon crypto news.bitcoin.c Crypto Twitter CryptoTwitter is a fascinating community and a great source of information.

Almost every coin would have some of these channels: a project twittera project blog, often on Mediuma community on reddita Telegram channela Discord channelSector Specific News You might have noticed that there are thousands of cryptocurrencies out there. Here is a map of all the cryptos by sector — the size of rectangles correspond to the market cap. Ok, so Bitcoin takes up a lot of the space here. To better visualize the altcoin landscape, here is the same map without Bitcoin: The two largest sectors are Currencies, and Smart Contract Platforms, driven by Bitcoin and Ethereum. You can also see other emerging sectors such as Stablecoins and Decentralized Finance (DeFi). Other sectors pale in comparison in terms of market cap. DeFi is bigger than it looks really, because many Stablecoins are minted because of DeFi, and it is built on top of Smart Contract Platforms. It is a sector that many are focusing on, and has lots of dedicated news sources: defipulse.com thedefiant.com Bankless Our Network DeFi Tutorials DeFi Value DeFi Weekly Dose of DeFi Research and Analysis Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming to sift through all this information yourself. Whoever you are, it is worth keeping an eye on the people whose job it is to analyze and/or invest in crypto markets. What I love about crypto is that you can access a ton of high-quality, alpha-generating information for free just by being good at doing some internet research. Follow blogs of research & analytics firms These include the emerging crypto fundamental-research companies and on-chain analysis companies that sell their research to professional institutions and traders. Many of them also share insights for free to the community, which can be a great starting point. — Santiment provides on-chain analysis and shares some of their insights on this blog Santiment Blog — Messari combines a lot of crypto data all in one place.

Information is the foundation of good decision-making. Cryptocurrency innovates at the speed of light. New protocols are constantly coming to market, promising to solve some of mankind's greatest financial troubles. While their intentions might be good, the result is a cluttered, noisy environment that promotes FOMO & makes it nearly impossible to make sound decisions. In order to succeed in the wild, volatile, & often opaque world of cryptocurrency it is necessary to quiet the noise & hone in on real signals. The best way to do that is by building out your own Crypto ToolKit. Quick Notes on building a Crypto ToolKit: -) Do not use every single tool (unless you’re a crypto savant) -) Review each resource/tool individually (5–10 min per resource) -) Select only the ones that appeal most to your specific preferences As you might already be aware, the crypto-verse is highly fragmented in the sense that there are many different chains & protocols. Given that not all chains & protocols are interoperable (yet), all of the tools listed provided below are will be as general & multi-purpose as possible. Without further ado, Let's dive in: 📊 Market Data 📊 The starting point of almost every person’s crypto journey, Market Data providers are listing sites that aggregate all open financial digital asset data.

While the majority of current DEFI activity happens across 4 blockchains (Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon & Solana) there are so many up & coming alternative platforms such as Optimism & Arbitrum that have been garnering attention that for the sake of brevity I will only list the few products that I am personally familiar with. 1) Dapp Radar — https://dappradar.com/defi 2) DEFI Llama — https://defillama.com/ 3) DEFI Prime — https://defiprime.com/ 4) DEFI Pulse — https://www.defipulse.com/ 5) YieldWatch - https://www.yieldwatch.net/ 6) ZapperFI - https://zapper.xyz/ 7) Zerion - https://zerion.io/ 8) InstaDapp - https://instadapp.io/ 9) Frontier - https://www.frontier.xyz/ 10) Apebored - https://apeboard.finance/ 11) Debank - https://debank.com/ - 12) APYvision https://app.apy.vision/ - 13) Plasma Finance https://plasma.finance/ - 14) Farm Army https://farm.army/ - 15) DEFISaver https://defisaver.com/ - 16) Gnosis Safe https://gnosis-safe.io/ - 17) DefiYield https://defiyield.app/ 18) Coin98 - https://coin98.com/ 19) AstroTools - https://astrotools.io/ 20) MultiFarm - https://www.multifarm.fi/ 21) OctoFi - https://octo.fi/ 22) Parallel - https://parallel.fi/ 23) Exponential - https://exponential.fi/ 24) WalletDefi - https://walletdefi.app/ 25) DEFImarketCap - https://defimarketcap.io/ 26) QuantifyCrypto - https://quantifycrypto.com/ 📰 News 📰 Crypto is becoming all the more politicized as time goes on.

Wallets are exactly what they sound like, places to securely store/view your crypto asset holdings. Wallets typically come in 2 flavors, Chain-specific & Chain-agnostic. Chain-specific wallets are tied to a single blockchain platform (i.e ETH/BNB). These will only be able to store their native chain tokens, but allow the users to interact with on-chain assets/applications. Whereas chain-agnostic wallets might allow their users to store crypto assets from any blockchain, but that is the limit of their capabilities as they are usually single-purpose only (storage) 1) MetaMask - https://metamask.io/ 2) MEW - https://www.myetherwallet.com/ 3) Dynamic - https://www.dynamic.xyz/ 4) XDEFI - https://www.xdefi.io/ 5) Enkryptic - https://www.enkrypt.com/ 6) Argent - https://www.argent.xyz/ 7) Dopamine - https://dopamineapp.com/ 8) TrustWallet - https://trustwallet.com/ 9) Eidoo - https://eidoo.app/ 10) Dapppocket - https://www.dapppocket.io/ 11) Atomic Wallet - https://atomicwallet.io/ 12) Bread Wallet - https://brd.com/ 13) Guarda - https://guarda.com/ 14) Exodus - https://www.exodus.com/ 15) ZenGo - https://zengo.com/ 16) Coinomi - https://www.coinomi.com/en/ 17) Luno - https://www.luno.com/en-US 18) Ambire - https://www.ambire.com/ 19) Jaxx - https://jaxx.io/ 20) Edge - https://edge.app/ 21) Freewallet - https://freewallet.org/ 22) Coinbase Wallet - https://www.coinbase.com/wallet 23) Coin Wallet - https://coin.space/ 24) Ballet Wallet - https://www.ballet.com/coins/ 25) Unstoppable - https://unstoppable.money/ 26) Brave Wallet - https://brave.com/wallet/ 27) BitPay - https://bitpay.com/wallet/ 28) Crypto.com - https://crypto.com/us/defi-wallet 🔎 Explorers 🔍 Explorers are software tools that allow users to inspect the activity that has happened/is happening on-chain.

Harnessing Blockchain Technology to Lay the Foundation for Tomorrow’s DNA Ecosystem The flexibility of blockchain infrastructures has captivated innovators, entrepreneurs and developers across a number of verticals (more so than ever in the past year). Many are beginning to truly appreciate the properties that make distributed ledger technologies so valuable, notably where data security is concerned. Blockchains are perhaps best described, in simple terms, as append-only databases that are controlled by a consensus mechanism made up of numerous participants (without a hierarchy or centralized overseer). Compared to a traditional database, this means that there is no central point of failure for an attacker to target. The participants in question will each maintain a copy of this ledger, synchronising it with that of their peers when a ‘block’ (chunk of data) is added to the network. This may not seem particularly exciting at first glance, but it is, in fact, a very powerful tool — each block added to the ledger is cryptographically linked to the prior one, meaning that any attempt to alter the information will be automatically rejected by the rest of the participants. As such, blockchains are often touted as being and . immutable tamper-proof The security of such networks stems from this structure, the topology at the peer-to-peer level and the use of robust cryptography (private/public keypairs) to ensure that only the individual uploading data can decrypt it or demonstrate ownership. Towards Medical Applications Home genetic testing has been garnering a lot of attention from consumers recently as services like Ancestry or 23AndMe have cropped up to provide insights into the health of the user — at the cost, of course, of the sharing of genomic data. It’s hard to imagine a source of data more personal to an individual than their genetic information. It stands to reason that it’s crucial that said data is kept both secure and private — easier said than done in an age of digitisation of information, home DNA testing kits and rampant data breaches. Most companies go to lengths to anonymize your data before sharing it, and to keep it secure. But sharing this type of sensitive personal information comes with an inherent risk. Consumer genetic testing firms are not typically bound by HIPAA, which means the flow of personal information is completely unregulated. And the more places data flows, the more chances there are for it to leak. may initially seem ideally suited to these ends, though it’s just a partial solution — one of the trade-offs of an immutable distributed ledger is that its throughput is somewhat lacking (remember that every participant must record every interaction), and storing even small amounts of data is an expensive and time-consuming task. Blockchain technology Evidently, in designing a platform for mass adoption, a sort of hybridised approach is best. Leveraging the features of blockchain technology and combining it with more scalable storage mediums, vastly superior alternatives to the existing ‘data silo’ phenomenon can be built. With such alternatives, secure repositories of data that are controlled entirely by the individual are anchored in the blockchain, which provides an unalterable record of the interactions occurring across the network. True Self-Sovereignty Third-party custodians and data security are not concepts that go hand-in-hand. We’ve seen the catastrophic consequences that breaches like that of Equifax and Facebook can have on the lives of their victims. It’s not something that can be allowed to continue in transitioning masses of genetic information into the digital realm. DNA is not as easily changed as a username/password. With a tech stack built on top of a blockchain, we can reverse some of the damaging patterns that have emerged as a result of a trust-heavy data ecosystem, putting individuals wholly back in control of information that belongs to them in the first place. Though the concept of an entirely ‘self-sovereign identity’ has existed for a couple of decades now, we’re finally beginning to perfect the technologies that would make truly private and secure interactions in the digital space possible.
