Thank you, @will_wjk of @imperialcollege for inviting me to give a #keynote at #marbleconference 2025 in #athens. I shared a bit about new #research on the adoption and required #competencies of /for #DeFi in 2034.

I am happy to share that our work won the best paper award! Thanks, @will_wjk, @StefLeonardos and the team for organizing a great conference.

[Abhimanyu Nag @AbhiMan1601]

an amazing experience. Thanks so much to the organisers @will_wjk, @StefLeonardos and others with special thanks to @kakia1989 and other researchers and mathematicians for the thoughtful questions!

Onto MARBLE 2026

@TfL are out of control. Less than a minute to drop off test specimens and mobility restricted passengers at a medical centre and you get a £160 penalty issued by a CCTV camera. Even when circumstances are explained, appeal is denied. Outrageous abuse bordering on the criminal.

Everyone is talking about "DeAI" but what does it actually mean?
@ethereum gave us a grant to explore this question
and we wrote a 21-page paper with all the answers you need.
Together with @imperialcollege, @flock_io, @UniofNewcastle, and @ethereum, we created a DeAI map - Systematisation of Knowledge (SoK).
Here’s the TL;DR 👇 (1/19)

I just changed my mind about something: the urgency of quantum-safe cryptography. ⤵️
