Practical NFTs: The Changing Digital Identity
Understanding and Navigating the Current Environment, and How to Build and Launch an NFT Face-to Face Training

Date:  26th September 2022
EQ Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

Why this course?

The market for digital assets has changed beyond recognition over the past months. Valuations of components of crypto ecosystems have collapsed almost overnight, and previously high-profile crypto projects have disintegrated. Supposedly secure tokens such as stablecoins have been exposed, and many investors have lost money. Further change and evolution is almost inevitable. With it comes considerable uncertainty and unpredictability.

Why has this happened? What is the future for digital assets? What components and segments of the market are here to stay, and how will they be applied to today’s financial ecosystem? These questions are on everyone’s lips, and there are no straightforward answers.

During this one-day, face-to-face program we will attempt to provide at least some of the answers. Perhaps more importantly, we will equip you with the information and expertise to make your own assessment.

The first half of the module will re-examine the crypto market, with the current market conditions and movements very much in mind. The second part of the program is dedicated to perhaps the most exciting and promising component of today’s digital asset market: Non-Fungible Tokens, or NFTs. What are they, and why do they hold promise? How can they be applied to today’s financial market? By the end of this session, you will be in possession of a blockchain wallet and have published your very own NFT to the Ethereum blockchain.

  • Key Learning Objectives & Takeaways
    • Understand and differentiate the basic types, functions, and structures of major cryptocurrencies and digital assets
    • Assess use-cases of crypto and digital assets utilized in today’s global financial services industry, along with key regulatory insights for Malaysia
    • Identify leading indicators of scams and hype versus value and substance through exploration of illustrative case studies
    • Understand and discuss foundational technology concepts: blockchain, cryptography, mining, proof-of-work, and proof-of-stake
    • Identify and manage the risk of pricing, storing, and trading cryptocurrencies and other digital assets
    • Assess the potential for further innovation based around digital assets, including NFTs and DeFi (decentralized finance)

EXPERT COURSE DIRECTOR


Matthew Martin 
Founder & CEO, Blossom Finance

Matthew is Founder and CEO of Blossom Finance—a blockchain-based Sukuk platform for social impact investing. Matthew has been an early pioneer in the application of FinTech for Islamic finance with a background including both engineering and product management experience in the digital wallet, payment card, money remittance, mobile payments, and mobile banking sectors at venture capital funded tech startups Xoom, Boku, and Monitise.

Matthew has advised policy makers at central banks and financial services regulators on blockchain technology and has spoken as an educator to international audiences in Bahrain, Indonesia, Malaysia, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, UAE, and the USA. Prior to Blossom, Matthew started his first blockchain related venture in 2013 - back when Bitcoin was less than $100 USD - which allowed instant purchase of Bitcoin in 27 countries using just a mobile phone. At Monitise, Matthew led the team that pioneered one of the world’s first in-mobile NFC payment product for banks, and fully owned the entire delivery of that solution from technology through to commercial agreements. Prior to that, Matthew was the product architect and team lead for Monitise’s flagship iOS and Android white-label mobile banking platform, which grew to the market leading solution for the US consumer banking market. Under Matthew’s leadership, the team delivered a new platform and architecture that dramatically reduced the overall delivery time of client solutions and reduced ongoing cost of ownership while maintaining a broad range of features and customization capabilities. At Boku, Matthew was product owner of Boku Accounts: in-person payments using the world’s first Visa PayWave™ NFC sticker. Previously, as Engineering Manager of the Accounts team, Matthew led a team of 10 engineers to build a white-label payments and merchant loyalty product that resulted in a strategic investment by Visa. Before leading the Accounts team, Matthew delivered various proof-of-concepts instrumental in landing key clients such as Disney and Facebook. At Xoom, Matthew evangelized User Experience and User-Centered Design, and championed the first push into mobile; he helped design and run Xoom’s first ever user study. Prior to financial tech, Matthew worked in consumer electronics as a Software Engineer at Logitech as part of their Streaming Media Business Unit and at Benchmark Media Systems as a Software Engineer. Matthew has studied 8 languages and speaks Indonesian, Farsi, and French at an intermediate level in addition to his native English. Matthew embraced Islam in 2010 and currently lives in Jakarta, Indonesia.
