Privacy-preserving Computation in Plain Sight

Blockchain & Cryptoanalytics
Technical talk, Educational talk
Beginner to Intermediate
Web 3.0 technology offers a decentralized and trustless execution environment, ensuring data integrity and verifiable correctness of computations using smart contracts. This transparency is one of the core strengths of Web 3.0 but also one of the main obstacles to utilizing this technology in enterprise applications where privacy preservation is imperative. To address these privacy concerns and enable a wide range of new use cases that can harvest the benefits of Web 3.0 technology, advanced cryptographic methods such as Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) have emerged. ZKPs allow verification of computations without revealing the underlying data, while FHE enables computation on encrypted inputs, ensuring that private information remains hidden even to entities who perform the computations.

Can memes beat the market – using the social media sentiment for forecasting stock returns

Cryptocurrency & digital money
Use case
Intermediate
Is the efficient market hypothesis still efficient in today’s hyper-connected world? The curse of common knowledge in market trading and respective massive sharing of its benefits leads to infinitesimal gains or losses. Social media sentiment towards the stocks is already being used in trading strategies with varying success. What happens when we step away from the hugely competitive field of universal choices in seeking for alpha, like popular stocks and Twitter? In this talk, I will show you why and how sentiment works in some specific markets like cryptocurrencies and Asian stocks.
