Thousands of attendees gathered together at #SmartCon 2022 for two jam-packed days of keynotes, presentations, networking, satellite events, and afterparties.
Here's what it was like to be on the ground in #NYC.
2/ The conference took place at The Market Line—an expansive, three-floor space perfect for everything from in-depth technical discussions to making new friends.
3/ There were four presentation stages: Aristotle, Descartes, Rand, and Socrates.
Here, 150+ of the brightest minds from across Web2 and #Web3 spoke about the developments pushing our space forward.
4/ From live music to secret treasure hunts, Big Mac meals to an elaborate mural, there were experiences hidden at every corner of the conference.
5/ Attendees ended each conference day at SmartCon afterparties, with lines that wrapped around the block.
Afterparties were the perfect way to decompress, whether they took place under the famous NYC skyline or inside the vibrant Museum of Ice Cream.
6/ Thank you to all those who played a part in bringing the SmartCon 2022 experience to life.
We hope to see everyone again next year.

1/ Cryptographic truth is a new form of trust-minimized computing that fundamentally shifts the nature of trust in society—replacing handshakes, brand reputation, and paper contracts with tamper-proof computer code executed on decentralized networks.
2/ Trust-minimization involves methods that limit participants in an interaction from stating false info, stealing from others, going offline, or breaking agreed-upon rules.
When probabilistic variables are reduced, the interaction is more likely to function exactly as designed.
3/ Cryptographic truth is a trust-minimized computing paradigm based on cryptography & decentralized consensus.
Cryptography secures the integrity of actions taken in an interaction while decentralized consensus guarantees fairness, correctness, & uptime when validating actions.

1/ Cryptographic truth is a new form of trust-minimized computing & record-keeping with superior properties to the methods used today.
This 15-part 🧵 explores how blockchains generate cryptographic truth and how #Chainlink vastly extends its application into the real world.
2/ Cryptographic truth is the combination of cryptography and decentralized consensus to deterministically compute applications and generate a “golden record” for all activity between users.
But how exactly are cryptography and decentralized consensus applied in blockchains?
3/ Cryptography is the science of securely communicating in the presence of adversarial behavior. Cryptography is used primarily to
-keep data confidential
-authenticate data origin
-validate data integrity
-establish non-repudiation in communication
