DeFi and Predictions Markets

October 15 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Our meetup group is moving to Luma. Please take a moment to join our group there and RSVP at: https://lu.ma/7ogb61rz

Intro
Join us at the Edge HQ in Little Italy, San Diego, for an exciting evening of blockchain innovation and cutting-edge discussions! This event will feature two dynamic speakers who are pushing the boundaries of decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain technology.

Speakers
Anna Wroblewska, Co-Founder of Krypton, will explore how her company is revolutionizing DeFi with a new exchange primitive, the Fully Continuous Exchange. Anna is a former financial industry COO, marketer, and journalist. She began her career as an academic researcher in the finance unit of Harvard Business School, led a wealth manager through the financial crisis as COO, and was the founder of a boutique consultancy helping quantitative and other specialized asset managers build out marketing and sales operations. Drawing from Fischer Black’s 1970s concept, Anna’s insights promise to reshape how we think about trading and market-making by drastically reducing costs and opening up new possibilities for real-world asset exchange.

Samuel Holmes, Senior Software Engineer at Edge, will unveil Polymarket—a groundbreaking prediction market platform that’s poised to make waves, especially with election season approaching. What’s unique about Polymarket is that it seamlessly integrates Web3 and blockchain technology behind the scenes, powering a revolutionary product that most users won’t even realize is built on decentralized infrastructure. Samuel, a seasoned expert in blockchain and Bitcoin development, will delve into how this cutting-edge tech is driving Polymarket’s success. With experience spanning full-stack development and backend architecture, Samuel’s insights promise to offer a compelling look into the future of blockchain-powered applications.

This event is perfect for anyone interested in the intersection of finance, blockchain, and DeFi.
