The 2nd Tokenomics Conference – Blockchain Economics, Security & Protocols

After the great success of Tokenomics 2019, we are pleased to announce Tokenomics 2020, the 2nd International Conference on Blockchain Economics, Security and Protocols. This year’s conference is hosted by Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) in Toulouse. Because of the health situation, the conference is postponed to October 26 & 27, 2020.

Tokenomics is an international forum for theory, design, analysis, implementation and applications of blockchains and smart contracts. The goal of the conference is to bring together economists,  computer science researchers and practitioners working on blockchains in a unique program featuring outstanding invited talks and academic presentations.

Keynote speakers will include:

• Jean Tirole, 2014 laureate of the Sveriges Riksbank prize in economic sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel,
• Long Chen, Secretary-General of the Luohan Academy, an open research institute initiated by Alibaba, and former Chief Strategy Officer at Ant Financial
