Seminar Agenda

9:00am – 12:30pm

Introducing Distributed Ledgers

This session is an introduction to distributed ledgers: what they are, why they are useful and how they can be applied to business and financial processes. The outcome of this session is for non-technical professionals to be able to differentiate between the various forms of distributed ledgers available, how and why we have them and what they can potentially be used for both now and in the future.

This session will be delivered through lectures, case studies, discussions and demonstrations and will cover the following important topics:

Introducing Money, Assets & Ledgers What is Bitcoin, and how did it come to be? Answering fundamental questions and explaining key facts
Understanding Blockchain Technology Examining Blockchain from a non-technical perspective and assessing use cases for businesses and financial institutions
Blockchain Generations From digital currencies to open assets & smart contracts; what can be done today and how can these tools be applied?

12:30pm – 5:00pm

Introducing Distributed Ledgers

This session will introduce the characteristics, uses and applications of crypto assets and currencies. The outcome of this session is for everyone in the room to own some form of cryptoasset, but more importantly, for them to understand where it is stored and why it has been stored that way.

This will be a very hands-on session and will allow participants to gain practical experience of the application of crypto assets. Half of the session will be guided through presentations with the other half being spent actively using and exploring Blockchain technology through crypto-currency transactions.

The session will be delivered through lectures, case studies, discussions and demonstrations whilst covering the following important topics:

Cryptography From hashes to encryption and key generation - demystifying the technology from a non-technical perspective and assessing important security features
Wallets From paper, to brains through hardware or software - what are the differences? What are the potential uses for such applications in businesses and finance?
Digital Certificates Learn how data can be securely stored on the blockchains through an active use case involving digital certificates specifically designed for this class.

5.00pm

Neuroware is the brand name for R1 DOT MY’s Blockchain and distributed ledger technology solutions. It was first established when the company was selected to join Batch 9 of the illustrious 500 Startups accelerator program in Silicon Valley at the beginning of 2014. It was during time there in the USA that Venturebeat declared Neuroware as one of the 5 most promising startups to watch from the Batch 9 demo day pitches that took place at Microsoft.

Since 2015, R1 DOT MY have been dealing with a broad spectrum of both regional and central banks, national regulators, telecommunication providers and licensed equity crowdfunding institutions from within both Malaysia and Singapore. R1 DOT MY have consulted Maybank and DBS bank and have helped to organize the only bank-backed Blockchain hackathons to have taken place in Asia. They help organizations such as this to not only understand, but also begin to implement Blockchain technology and the various distributed protocols developed upon them.

Recently featured as one of Malaysia’s top-ten FinTech companies, R1 DOT MY spent the past year developing Cortex which acts as a single unified platform for managing distributed ledgers and the various nonfinancial distributed protocols they have been building.
