Fundamentals of Blockchain: Crossing the Chasm with Design
Blockchain technology introduces novel interaction patterns & new concepts into products - yet consumers continue to bring the same expectations they have from different technologies, like banking apps and email. How can we cross this chasm?
In this session led by blockchain designers, we will chat about the realities of designing for blockchain technology. Designers will talk about their experiences with blockchain products, and share methods and tricks for making successful blockchain products that appeal to a wide audience and lead the way to mainstream adoption.
This session will consist of 3 parts. An intro to blockchain and the relevant design concepts. A presentation featuring some of today's leading designers in the blockchain space including Christian Jeria from Metamask, Jonny Howle from uPort, Andrew Cohen from Infura, Ven Gist from Odyssey, and moderated by Dan Shields from Colorado Blockchain. And final presentation offering some actionable strategies for building blockchain applications.
