Tron DAO is known as a community-run blockchain organization working to accelerate the decentralization of the internet. In line with this aim of the company, it took part in The Programmable Economy: AI & Blockchain Redefining Markets Conference held at Cornell Tech in New York on April 24. The effects of artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies on global markets were discussed at the event.
Highlights of the conference
The conference was held with the support of Cornell Blockchain and a number of technology communities. In addition to hundreds of students, more than a thousand participants from the finance, public and technology sectors came together in sessions held throughout the day. In this environment, both leading names in the sector and academics evaluated the effects of developing technologies on financial markets.
Sam Elfarra, community spokesperson for the Tron DAO, appeared on the Cornell Tech stage in the panel titled “Centralized and Decentralized Financial Markets.” In the session, different perspectives on the future of financial markets were shared and it was discussed how new infrastructures that bridge central institutions and decentralized platforms would lead to changes in liquidity and capital formation.
“DeFi is no longer a separate system; it is becoming a part of the financial structure. On Tron, we directly experience how meaningful low-cost and high-performance infrastructure can be for both traditional and decentralized markets. As the distance between the two worlds decreases, networks that can support both will shape the future of the industry.”
Tron DAO’s university collaborations
Tron DAO’s participation in the conference is considered as part of the organization’s goal of strengthening its ties with the academic world. The company maintains its Tron Academy program, which collaborates with universities around the world. Thanks to these studies carried out with distinguished institutions such as Cornell, Columbia, Harvard, Imperial College London, Yale, MIT and Berkeley, the connection between blockchain education and industry applications is strengthened.
Thanks to these initiatives, the number of students and researchers who want to develop innovative applications in the field of blockchain and artificial intelligence is increasing. Tron DAO continues to foster the next generation of technology leaders.
