  • Internet lacks trust and security models at the core protocol layers. Users have no way to identify sources of information, prove or authenticate properties about it. Application layer solutions (e.g., secure messaging, PGP, https, TLS, etc.) were therefore created to facilitate basic use cases that require trust, authenticity, and security.

    Using web3's decades of innovation in cryptography, decentralized network design, digitally native assets, mechanism design, and other tools we can fundamentally redesign the foundation for shared decentralized infrastructure.

    Distributed ledger technology allows us to place security and trust in the base protocol layer.

    Algorand is calling innovators, builders, technologists, and the broader community to share and discuss how to enable such a future.

    Whether you're attending the Rebuild Conference or taking part in Toronto Blockchain Week, join us on the third floor of Baro in downtown Toronto on Tuesday, April 23rd.

    Admission is free, but space is limited.

    There will be drinks, small bites, a couple of presentations and a discussion with Sergey Gorbunov, Algorand's Chief Cryptographer and UWaterloo Assistant Professor and a panel of special guests as they discuss how to responsibly manage the power of blockchain technology while also avoiding mistakes made in the early days of the Internet.

    Potential Conversations
    • role of permissioned and permissionless networks
    • authentication of information and its source
    • governance mechanisms
    • interoperability between decentralized networks


    Thanks for your interest, and thanks for helping to Rebuild a better Internet and a better future.

    SESSION 1: BLOCKCHAIN APPLICATIONS (5:00 PM – 6:45 PM)



    Tokenomics: when tokens beat equity

    Andreas Park, PhD; Associate Professor, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto Abstract: To many financial industry insiders, blockchain tokens and ICOs have no intrinsic merit and exist only as a way to evade regulations. We demonstrate that generic revenue-based token contracts are indeed economically inferior to equity and lead to over- or under-production. However, an optimally designed token contract, which is a combination of an output pre-sale and an incremental revenue sharing agreement, can finance a strictly larger set of ventures than equity.

    A numeraire-free approach to Bitcoin pricing

    Hjalmar Turesson, PhD; Postdoctoral Fellow, Schulich School of Business, York University Abstract: That bitcoin trades on numerous, mostly unregulated exchanges over a variety pairwise prices (e.g. bitcoin/USD, bitcoin/ethers) means that there is no singular price of bitcoin at any given time. This is a key reason why the SEC in US are wary of approving bitcoin ETF’s. In the talk, we present mechanisms to calculate a bitcoin price that does not commit to a basis (or numeraire); that is, unlike most pricing mechanisms that price off of bitcoin/USD prices from a few US exchanges, we propose a numeraire free pricing algorithm that utilizes much more of the available, global data for more precise pricing.

    Blockchains for Power Grid Reliability

    Shivam Saxena; PhD Candidate, Lassonde School of Engineering, York University Abstract: Blockchains are beginning to disrupt modern power systems by allowing energy prosumers to execute peer to peer energy transactions, threatening its traditionally monopolistic architecture and the role of electric utilities. This talk explores how electric utilities could embrace the blockchain and utilize disparate prosumers to increase grid reliability for all stakeholders.

    SESSION 2: BLOCKCHAIN INFRASTRUCTURE (7:00 PM – 8:45 PM)

    Astraea: A Decentralized Blockchain Oracle

    Ryan Berryhill; PhD Candidate, Rogers Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto Abstract: Existing blockchain oracles suffer from several limitations: some are centralized, some trust secure hardware, some trust websites to behave honestly. This talk presents Astraea, a decentralized oracle that uses incentives to achieve decentralization and high-accuracy outcomes.

    Detecting Standard Violation Errors in Smart Contracts

    Ao (Leo) Li; Master’s Candidate, Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto Abstract: We present Solar, a new analysis tool for automatically detecting standard violation errors in Ethereum smart contracts. Given the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) bytecode of a smart contract and a user specified constraint or invariant derived from a technical standard such as ERC-20, Solar symbolically executes the contract, explores all possible execution paths, and checks whether it is possible to initiate a sequence of malicious transactions to violate the specified constraint or invariant.

    Optimizing Consensus Algorithms for Permissioned Blockchains

    Gengrui (Edward) Zhang; PhD Candidate, Rogers Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto Abstract: Classical distributed consensus algorithms are widely used in backing permissioned blockchains. Our objective is to optimize these algorithms with respect to runtime and message complexity. We provide a brief review of consensus algorithms and give an overview of our current work on analyzing and optimizing consensus algorithms. RSVP
