The Chainscience conference brings together academics, practitioners and industry experts across disciplines to discuss novel developments in the domain of distributed ledger technologies. For Chainscience’s second edition, this year we are gathering in Switzerland, hosted by the University of Zürich, in co-occurrence with Ethereum.
At the heart of Chainscience lies the firm belief that Bitcoin’s whitepaper started a phenomenon that cannot be fully embraced by a single field of research, but has an inherently inter-disciplinary nature, living in the union of informatics, business, economics, finance, regulation, law, mathematics, physics and complexity science. This is why Chainscience was born, to build bridges between different disciplines and practitioners, and the ambition to advance and promote high-quality research in Blockchains and Distributed Ledger technologies. As a block has value because it belongs to the chain, we hope Chainscience’s value will emerge out of the diverse and different approaches it will host, according to the motto: ’The whole is more than the sum of its parts’.
In structure, ChainScience follows the traditional open format primarily based on submitted and peer-reviewed works
