The Stanford Blockchain Conference 2020

Arrillaga Alumni Center, Stanford University
Feb. 19-21, 2020

This conference explores methods of security engineering and risk management in blockchain systems. We are interested in the application of cryptography, decentralized protocols, formal methods, and empirical analysis to improving security or mitigating risk in blockchain deployments. We aim to foster multidisciplinary collaboration among practitioners and researchers in blockchain protocol development, cryptography, distributed systems, secure computing, crypto-economics, and engineering and economic risk analysis.

The talks and papers from the previous events in this conference series are available here:   2017,   2018,   2019.
