BSafe.network Layer 2 Technology Competition Call for proposals & rules of the competition Website: http://bsafe.network/technology-competiton/leyer2competition/ ====================================================================== The BSafe.network (http://bsafe.network) is launching a series of open technology competitions for blockchain technology. By means of over twenty international blockchain nodes, all located in neutral universities and isolated from existing blockchain network, the goal of the competition is to build an experimental platform to share research results by academic principles. As the first of the series of competitions, the BSafe.network is holding a /Layer 2 technology competition/. Layer 2 technology is drawing a lot of attention given its promises of enhancing scalability, privacy and other characteristics while using existing fundamental blockchain technologies. As results of this competition, we expect neutral comparisons and confirmed codebases. Two categories are proposed: (1) new layer 2 technology and (2) fair evaluation methodologies. We will award the selected proposal(s) at an academic conference. Details of the award will be announced at the competition website. The submission deadline is March 31, 2018, and we will conduct the theoretical review by university researchers and experiments over actual global scale blockchain research test network. We encourage blockchain researchers and engineering communities to submit proposals and receive academic evaluations, comparisons, and reputations. ================= Important dates ================= * Submission deadline: March 31, 2018 * Evaluation and experimentation start: April 1, 2018 * Disclosure of a list of proposals: April 15 * Evaluation and experimentation end: June 30, 2018 * Announcement of a winner and excellent proposals: July 15, 2018 * Technical presentation and awarding ceremony: August, 2018 For further details, visit: - http://bsafe.network/technology-competiton/leyer2competition/ - http://bsafe.network/Layer2competition.pdf _______________________________________________ Om-announce mailing list Om-announce@openmath.org http://mailman.openmath.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/om-announce
