Liu Hong from the Sichuan University DICA Lab shared their latest research findings on Byzantine algorithms. This talk sparked students’ curiosity and encouraged them to delve deeper into the intricate algorithms of blockchain technology.
Home of the pandas with pizza!
A total of 21 students participated, and they received small gifts and munched on pizza. The fluffy panda toys were very popular, and they perfectly complemented the venue, provided by Panda VR.
Did you know that Sichuan is the hometown of giant pandas?
Everyone engaged in free conversations, discussing topics of interest.
Q&A session
To encourage participants to start building their own applications and actively delve into web3-related knowledge, the team held a Q&A session, where the top five questioners could win The Graph hoodies.
Students showed a keen interest in the security and application direction of the web3 field. Questions ranged from basic blockchain knowledge to security and privacy challenges, as well as the change and support that blockchain can bring to real-life and work scenarios.
Love the pandas! Great little keepsake from the event. Thanks for the summary!
