Penn Blockchain

Undergraduate and graduate/MBA organization for blockchain and crypto-curious students at the University of Pennsylvania.

[Paget @Pagetgrace]

Spoke at @PennBlockchain Conference last week on institutional adoption & what it actually takes to bring capital on-chain.

Fun convo with a great group... and shoutout to @Gemini for sponsoring the hackathon 🙌 🚀

[Jonah @jonah_b]

had a lot of fun on the @PennBlockchain conference panel with @kinaumov, @jonoBSB, @vikramcantsingh & Justin

Philly meetup with @PennBlockchain

[Adrian Wall @AdrianWall8395]

Following the @PennBlockchain panel in Philly, one point continues to stand out:

Tokenization only matters when assets gain real liquidity, distribution, collateral utility, and settlement, not just onchain representation.

The debate is now about sequencing: what actually scales first, Treasuries or private credit?

[⏢brianbreslow @brezshares]

Nothing better than taking the stage with great founders (shout out @goodalexander @0xZergs @dotcuriouscat). Thanks @PennBlockchain for having me!

[USD.AI @USDai_Official]

USDai gives agents what no other stablecoin does: cheaper compute.

Use USDai → lower GPU financing rates → less per GPU hour → lower cost per token.

Agents optimize for survival. USDai is the obvious choice.

Congrats to our co-president @ellisp_osborn on the public launch of @saturn_credit!

[Hoss @HOSS_ibc]

Few teams impress me on all fronts: infra, community, great UX, and onboarding young adults.

@1inch is one of the rare ones killing it across the board.

My wife @MrsHossette and I were really impressed with @PennBlockchain panels and overall energy at the Penn Museum.

We’re excited to see what’s next!🫡

[FIL Builders @FILBuilders]

Filecoin Onchain Cloud Mainnet is now LIVE

Builders are already diving in, shoutout to @LionisNick for an insightful workshop breaking down FOC, demoing the CLI tool, and showcasing the Synapse SDK for storing data on the world’s largest decentralized storage network

Excited to see what comes out of the @PennBlockchain Hackathon, let’s build some powerful dApps on FOC 🔥

[Amanda @vakaytion]

We are LIVE (unlike those behind us) from the @PennBlockchain Conference!

Loved already meeting some of our community members and current @AkashStudents Ambassadors ♥️

[Sam @SamElfa0]

Great to be here at @PennBlockchain’s PBC26.

Don’t miss our panel at 3:30pm, “Building in a New Interoperability Paradigm.”

[Arkhai @arkhai_io]

Compute for storage or energy for a ride on the @SpaceX rocket.

Alkahest can handle it. Most escrow systems can only handle one asset type.

Build an agentic application for our open bounty at @PennBlockchain.

[Alejandro Falabella @a_falabella]

I'm currently at the @PennBlockchain Conference hosted at the University of Pennsylvania. 🎙️

Here are the top takeaways from Cynthia Lo Bessette from Fidelity @DigitalAssets and Ben Slocum from the Penn Endowment.

- Wherever you have central clearing and intermediaries, there is room for crypto to move in.

- Agentic commerce is closer than most people think.

- The pace of regulatory guidance has picked up significantly under this administration.

- Congress still needs to lock in policies so that future administrations cannot walk back progress.

The best comment from Cynthia Lo Bessette was the following:
"We will know this asset class has truly matured the day we stop saying 'digital asset management' and just say asset management."

Thank you to all the partners, @artemis, @solana , No Limit Holdings, @BNBCHAIN, @DSAForg, @Polymarket , @Gemini, @1inch, @cracked_labs, @Filecoin, and @ovrclk_, @akashnet.
