    Nodle: The IoT Chain of Polkadot

    Eliott Teissonniere is a renowned Blockchain expert leading the conception of Nodle’s decentralized architecture since 2018. He became the CTO of BITNATION in 2017 and lead the development of smart contract based multiple governance tools which was rewarded by the NetExplo prize from UNESCO the same year. After leaving the company in September 2017 he developed the world’s first marriage smart contract on Ethereum, allowing people to get married on the blockchain for the first time. He then established itself as an independent contractor and worked on multiple projects including the creation of a Universal Basic Income platform for cities in the Middle West and a decentralized reputation platform. He was featured in various medias for his work on decentralized governance and blockchains such as Decrypt, CoinTelegraph and CoinDesk; and spoke at various high profile events such as the Paris Blockchain Week, the Stanford Blockchain Conference and presented in front of the European commission with past European deputies on the subject of Covid-19 tracing via the Blockchain. He is a mentor at the Berkeley Blockchain Accelerator and advises other startups in the Blockchain ecosystem. Find him on Twitter: @EliottTeiss "With the Nodle Cash app, we directly pay the users for the data that they are sharing, like a profit-sharing system. The other way we distribute the Nodle tools is that we work with app developers to integrate the Nodle tooling inside the application so that they can pay their users." "Another way to fund the web, instead of being funded by apps, you can simply fund it by collecting the data that is specifically around you and the model behind Nodle is that ultimately all the data that is around you and your phone on devices that are willingly broadcasting it in a public way, may ultimately be more valuable and more usable than making profiles on people" "We actually started modestly on Stellar and we pushed the app on the HTC Exodus phone, and people starting using it, because it was there on your phone, and why not? It was free to use and maybe one day the Nodle cash was going to be worth something, and they have nothing to lose."

    Vinay Gupta: How Mattereum Will Save the World

    Vinay Gupta, CEO of Mattereum, discusses how Mattereum tokenizes real world assets and can help solve slavery and climate change.

They help people to sell, organize, and communicate about their property with confidence. Strong product knowledge ensures everyone derives maximum value from objects they buy, sell, and own. More importantly, Mattereum can track carbon assets, and the conditions under which products are produced. This has a lot of implications for controlling the effects of climate change because it can tie the price of good to the actual costs
