Eco-friendly blockchain fuels new economic models, artistic expression and convergence of traditional and decentralized finance
MIAMI, Dec. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Algorand, the blockchain technology company powering the next-generation economy, today announced the successful debut of Decipher, a decentralized by design live and virtual two-day event that convenes the community of builders, businesses, and strategic stakeholders deciphering the future on Algorand. Set in the crypto hub of Miami, the sold-out, two-day event attracted nearly 500 attendees live, and over 2500 virtually. Featuring conversations, networking, and hands-on sessions that explore present and future opportunities for solutions in DeFi, NFTs, and new creator economies, gaming, DAOs, and beyond, Decipher celebrates what's possible thanks to blockchain technology.
