  4. 4. Web 3.0 vision • Ethereum (decentralized compute) • Swarm (decentralized storage) • Whisper (dark messaging protocol)
  5. 5. Corporate interest • Blockchain-as-a-service on Microsoft Azure (independent Haskell implementation by BlockApps) • Used by IBM and Samsung in Project ADEPT and MTN project • Used by Eris Industries and R3 • Canonical partnering with Slock.it and ConsenSys • Rubix by Deloitte - Enterprise offering
  6. 6. Built on Ethereum? • Augur (prediction market) • Digix (digital gold) • Slock.it (smart locks) • Maker (stable currency) • ConsenSys (galaxy of companies) • uPort (identity) • Balanc3 (triple entry accounting) • Transitive Grid (peer-to-peer energy trading) • Ujo music (peer-to-peer music) • “The DAO” (hub for dispersing funds, raised $148M so far!)

Ethereum Foundation • The Ethereum Foundation oversees Ethereum • Swiss HQ-ed non-profit organization • Initially funded by $18M crowdsale in 2014 • Employees and contractors around the world, with development hubs in Berlin and Amsterdam • Have extremely long-term blockchain research aims, as “engineering” is increasingly happening outside the Foundation - ie.
