Decentralized Web Meetup Berlin

Fission is running a month long series of Decentralized Web Meetups all around Europe.

The goal is to bring together both those already working on decentralized web topics, as well as introduce a broad set of developers to what is possible today, and showcase projects and tech tools for developers to use.

Thank you to our friends at Monadic for hosting us at their office in Kreuzberg!

RSVP as a service: the hackathon story of how to overcome centralized event platforms, Stefan Adolf

In early August 2019 Stefan and his teams started wrapping their heads around the question: "how to get rid of centralized event platforms?" and it took 3 hackathon roundtrips to develop a decentralized concept that could be part of a greater answer. Stefan presents the current state of play of his projects "Ethickets", "ĐOor" and "Meet.inc", tells about their team setups, backgrounds and tech stacks and concludes with the use of a projectional GraphQL API to power a decentralized event web page that runs on a decentralized stack using fission.codes and IPFS.

About Stefan Adolf, Turbine Kreuzberg
