Blockchain is one of the hottest emerging technology in our world today. Boasting a $300 billion value of Cryptocurrency alone, the potential is clearly huge. Smart contracts have come around and multiplied the possibilities for Blockchain technology, but they leave one question unanswered: for any distributed application which wants to leverage real world data, such as which sports team won a game, how do you get trusted information on-chain? James Gan is a SRND certified Code Evangelist. He graduated from Cornell University in 2018 with 3 minors, which has allowed him to become familiar with both the academic and startup communities working on Blockchain technology. He is an advocate for Blockchain, having recently organized a Tezos meetup, and written a research paper on Blockchain. He is also an accomplished Product Manager and Software Developer, having won prizes from Bloomberg and BlackRock at Hackathons. http://bellevue.tech
