This week we will have Marc and Maxime from Parisian Blockchain agency Kapalt ( speaking. This is what they’ll be talking about:
Agenda :
Introduction to Blockchain & DLT – 25 min
Illustration – Example of a live project – 10 min
Project Methodology – 10 min
Blockchain is a complex term where various concepts have been mixed-up from the traditional Blockchain definition to distributed ledger technology (DLT) including network infrastructure. In the introduction, we will try to give a comprehensive overview of what is Blockchain.
Then we will follow with a live project in order to illustrate what Blockchain is used for while focusing on the implementation.
Deploying Blockchain technology in a „corporate“ environment is a delicate exercise that requires the meeting of different imperatives, only capable of leading to a successful implementation.
This balance revolves around 4 major themes all necessary for the successful completion of a Blockchain project:
1 / Applicability: Why are we using this technology? What are the benefits to be expected? What characteristics are needed?
2 / Ecosystem: What is the environment, the actors and their interactions in a shared / decentralized infrastructure?
3 / Governance: Who supports what? Who has access to what information? Who validates what? Who pays what?
4 / Feasibility: Which protocol / technology to use? What are the levels of performance, security and confidentiality to be achieved?
The presentation will be held in English as a live online webinar. The participation is free of charge.

About the Blockchain Monday
Blockchain technology will change our economy and society in the coming years. You want to know how? You want to know what this has to do with your industry and how you should deal with it?
In our „Blockchain Monday“ series of events, together with experts and speakers from their respective specialist areas, we examine the opportunities and risks that technology brings with regard to a specific industry or a specific area of our society.
The events are aimed at interested citizens, business people and people who assume responsibility in politics and civil society. Experts will also have the opportunity to learn about new aspects of the blockchain, exchange ideas and network on specific topics.
