Future State: Navigating Real-World Challenges through Blockchain
As the crypto community braces for the next bull run, we often see a surge of get-rich-quick schemes. Future State, is dedicated to addressing genuine issues that the blockchain community can tackle today.
Why this Matters? This is a pragmatic approach
Emerging societies are often the quickest to adopt innovations, as seen with the rapid uptake of crypto in Ukraine, Turkey, and Nigeria. Blockchain technology—with programmable economies, zk proofs, DAOs, and more—has the potential to leapfrog the development of communities, nations, and entire regions, accelerating mass adoption.
Why Berlin?
Berlin, a city that has long been divided between past and future, is the perfect place to leap into the future. Here, we focus on solving real human problems, not just building castles in the air.
