The Science of Blockchain Conference 2024 focuses on technical innovations in the blockchain ecosystem, and brings together researchers and practioners working in the space.
The main interest is in the application of cryptography, decentralized protocols, formal methods, and empirical analysis, to improve the security and scalability of blockchain deployments.
The conference is co-organized IC3, the Stanford Center for Blockchain Research (CBR), and UC Berkeley RDI.
The talks and papers from the previous events in this conference series are available here: 2023, 2022, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017.
