Highlights of DeCC Day at Token2049 Singapore

Highlights of DeCC Day at Token2049 Singapore

Lisa Loud, executive director of Secret Network Foundation, opened the day and spoke of two key conversations that were directly relevant to DeCC Day.

The first was a gathering at EthDenver in February where the DeCC Alliance first met, and first put together an overview and informal alliance of companies dedicated to promoting and delivering confidential computing. It is really important to note that the almost 30 companies under this umbrella use different technologies, and some are even directly competitive, but all have as a common goal confidential computing.

The second conversation germane to the DeCC Day was Lisa’s meetings with SEC Commissioner Hester Pierce. Lisa remarked to Hester that she really deserved the term CryptoMom for her hard work on behalf of crypto.

However, Hester replied she wasn’t a champion of crypto, she was a champion of people making their own decisions.

And to paraphrase the last line from Robert Frost’s poem ‘The Road not Taken’ that has made all the difference.

The DeCC Day carried on in style. The Silent Swap team were there in force and made a big announcement that their Beta was open. Supdoggie from the team gave a highly technical look at how SilentSwap is using TEE and FHE in its architecture.

Sodalabs, represented by Avishay Yanai, gave a talk on the tech behind Garbled Circuits, yet another technology added to the Alliance which already includes TEE, MPC, ZK and FHE.

The first panel, on the Importance of DePIN, was moderated by Crypto Megan. Her guests were Amar Bedi of Tashi, Alex Zaidelson of SCRT Labs and Anil Murty of Akash. The triple A guests were united in their comment that OpenAI is very closed – and that is why we need DePIN to democratize access to GPUs.

The Building Web3 Responsibly panel was moderated by Varuni Trivedi, editor of The Coin Republic and included LC of IBL Law, Joshua Maddox of COTI, Bruce Ahn of Partisia, and Zheng Leong Chua of Automata Network. Echoing shades of Games of Thrones, LC said ‘regulation is coming.’ Bruce said ‘Devs understand the rules.’ Zheng said ‘we love compliance,’ and Joshua said ‘we need to get dirty.’

Zoe McFox of Phala Network moderated the Power of DeCC panel. During this conversation, it was pointed out that in the military, there are armed guards securing databases with guns, and that we needed to find equally secure tech solutions. She was joined by Supdoggie, Yannick Schrade of Arcium and Kabal.

Finally, Anndy Lian, Governmental Blockchain Advisor, led the panel looking at commercial use cases. He was joined by Josh Wyant of Novapolis, Gavin Thomas of TEN, Cal of SquidGrow and Juan Mari of Blok Assets. During this panel it was observed that Vitalik’s lack of privacy is well documented with people tracking him through his publicly acknowledged wallets. But it’s the same for ordinary people who need protection also.

Throughout the presentations and discussions, the audience was engaged and every opportunity for questions to be asked was filled with participation and insightful answers.

The event ended with a powerful round of networking where relationships were built that will live on and keep the value of the event going for years to come.
