Block.one’s senior executives recently spoke at the inaugural blockchain conference hosted by Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, Virginia. VT is alma mater to CTO Dan Larimer, and receives mentoring, advice on its blockchain curricula as well as funding from Block.one.

Dan made “integrity” the cornerstone of his keynote address, calling it the “higher purpose” that goes beyond creating innovative technology. He addressed the need for multiple blockchains, the dangers of centralization and a lack of choices, and how blockchain can improve voting, accounting and legal processes.
