Trust-Less 2020 - A Proof of Stake (PoS) Validator Summit [free]

[staking]

Hey! Who of you is going to participate in the Trust-Less 2020 Validator Summit?

https://trust-less-2020.dystopialabs.com

Time: Sat Feb 1st - Sun Feb 2nd | Virtual / Decentralized | 10am PST to Midnight

"This is a pivotal moment in blockchain history. With multiple blockchain networks launching early 2020, now's the perfect time for devs to learn about PoS mining & how to build their own staking-as-a-service startup."

"Early participants who run validators / mine will play an important role in the infrastructure of multiple blockchain ecosystems. Because of this, many foundations are running incentivized testnets & giving out grants in order to get more early technical participants. This lowers the barrier to entry since developers won't need a lot of capital to be a validator."

There's a diverse program, make sure to check it out! Let's discuss in this thread.
