Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies, Tokens & Decentralized Autonomous Organization.

A blockchain is a decentralized, distributed, and oftentimes public, digital ledger that is used to record transactions across many computers so that any involved record cannot be altered retroactively.

That's what we are discussing at Blockchain Brussels events.

        Topics Covered

        Whether you’re new to the blockchain field or a seasoned pro you’ll connect with crypto enthousiats and make valuable new friends.

        Bitcoin

        The first blockchain and the reason this group exists. A currency with no issuer, no central ledger and a supply schedule nobody can change.

        Read about Bitcoin

        Wallets

        A cryptocurrency wallet is a software or a physical device, or even an online service which stores the public and private keys used by cryptocurrency users to initiate, sign and broadcast transactions.

        Distributed Consensus

        Achieving overall system reliability in the presence of a number of faulty processes is a challenge. Requirements for a consensus protocol may include Agreement, Strong validity and Termination: all processes must eventually decide on an output value.

        Read about Distributed Consensus

        Smart Contracts

        Programs that run on a blockchain and execute themselves. Neither smart nor contracts in the legal sense, which is the first thing worth clearing up.

        Read about Smart Contracts

        Social Impact

        We meet in a friendly and informal way, to discuss any kind of subjects related to blockchains, ranging from technical aspects such as cryptographic concepts and software implementations to high-level reflexions, as the social impact to expect on our societies.

        Initial Coin Offering

        ICOs is a process in which a project attempts to raise capital by selling a new cryptocurrency.

        Read about Initial Coin Offering

        Stablecoins

        Crypto tokens designed to hold a steady value, usually one euro or one dollar. Most of the trading volume in crypto moves through them.

        Read about Stablecoins

        Public / private blockchain

        Open, borderless, censorship resistant blockchains have always been the main source of interest in the crypto world. However, some consortium projects or private initiatives might be of high interest.

        Read about Public / private blockchain

        DeFi

        Financial services built as smart contracts instead of companies: trading, lending and borrowing with no institution holding the funds.

        Read about DeFi

        UX and Adoption

        User experience is still poor in a lot of blockchain based products. As the audience is widening, more and more software is putting effort in the user interface to increase adoption by the general public.

        Read about UX and Adoption

        NFTs

        Tokens that represent a unique item rather than an interchangeable amount. Useful for provenance and membership; oversold as digital art ownership.

        Read about NFTs

        Mining

        The process that adds blocks and issues new coins under proof of work, and the source of the sector's energy debate.

        Read about Mining

        Regulation in Europe

        MiCA, the Transfer of Funds Regulation and the rules that now govern crypto across the EU. Written from Brussels, where most of it was negotiated.

        Blockchain Brussels is Belgium’s first and biggest community of blockchain and crypto believers. It is also one of the oldest European meetup around Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based applications. Created in 2013, we organise events, conferences, gatherings and workshops for crypto users and blockchain experts on a regular basis.
        We are building a blockchain community from the ground up in Belgium. We’re providing an inclusive forum for software developers of all levels, Crypto Enthusiasts and general public interested in Bitcoin to improve their understanding of distributed ledger technology and its social impact.
        The aim is to bring together people that are interested in cryptocurrencies in the widest possible sense; to promote discussions among people from different fields of expertise, having different backgrounds and therefore different perspectives. The goal is to find common interests to be explored further, practically creating any kind of experimentation, vulgarization, or business opportunities. We target any kind of audience, whether you have strong expertise to share, you are totally new and curious, or even just want to pass by to have a beer and say hello!
        Yes. We’re looking for sponsors to join us in growing our blockchain community and build long term partnerships. You can find all the details in the sponsorship document
        You can apply to speak at a meetup. You can also have a look at the sponsorship opportunities.

        • Privacy and fungibility inn blockchain : a focus on Monero
        • Blockchain for energy
