    Frontier Conf: Create your own Ethereum ERC-721 Token
    13 Apr - 09:00 AM
    San Francisco, United States
    At the end of this workshop, you will be capable of writing your own production ready end-to-end dapps using cutting edge frameworks and best practices. This workshop will take a deep dive into the ERC-721 standard emphasizing tests, code coverage tools, and gas usage profilers to help us write optimal and secure code. We'll go over common Solidity pitfalls, known attacks, and the reasons behind community acknowledged best practices. In this course we'll be using popular frameworks such as OpenZeppelin, Truffle and Infura for faster development. This workshop is ideal for someone with a coding background who knows the basics about Ethereum and enjoys learning at a fast pace. You will learn about Ethereum standards (ERC-20 and ERC-721) that allow you to create your own custom tokens, write an ERC-721 (non-fungible) smart contract from scratch, along with tests, learn to use powerful frameworks like OpenZeppelin, Truffle, and Infura, create a front-end UI to interact with web3 and your deployed contract. The ERC-721 standard was first developed and implemented by CryptoKitties, the world’s most successful game on the blockchain. After this course, you will have a thorough understanding of how to create your own distinguishable assets on the blockchain, with potential use cases ranging from games, collectibles, art, or even identity, documents, records, and much more. This course is taught by Elena Nadolinski, a software engineer at Airbnb and co-creator of Ethmoji.io. She has won prizes at multiple Ethereum hackathons — EthWaterloo for building decentralized video streaming on IPFS and World Crypto Economics Forum (WCEF) hackathon for building a crypto-collectibles token generator. Most recently, she was invited to the EthDenver hackathon to give a workshop on how to create your own ERC-721 tokens, which was attended by over 500 people.
      THURSDAYS@NODE: Mapping on the Blockchain - Arnaud Dazin, CEO of MAP
      12 Apr - 08:00 PM
      , United States
      As we know, an accurate 3D map of the world has purpose beyond safe autonomous vehicle navigation and cross-platform persistent augmented reality content; it can facilitate innovation, democratize the development of location-based applications and services, and establish a transparent reading and writing of our Earth’s information. Mapping on the blockchain is a way for us to restore agency and ownership in the creation and usage of our maps, without third party control or censorship. Community cartography can be unreliable and impractical, but with MAP, community cartography is an easy and intuitive process. Anyone can be part of creating the open map of the future. Arnaud Dazin is the Creator and Chief Executive Officer of MAP LTD. Arnaud is an engineering architect whose work in video games, healthtech and adtech has garnered him international recognition. He has been at the forefront of free-to-play’s rise for both PC and mobile, most notably as an early employee at mobile games giant Storm8, a network with over a billion downloads and 50 million monthly active users. He has an active interest in software development, robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and augmented reality. This deep appreciation for technology fostered a longstanding dream of creating MAP—a decentralized, dynamic distributed layer of the world around us—and compelled him to make his vision a reality. As the CEO of ADVR, Inc., Arnaud leads an existing business towards building a future where digital data can be embedded in virtual and augmented worlds. Arnaud has given international talks in Asia, Europe, and in the USA on scaling products, virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain. Doors open at 8:00pm; talk starts at 9.00pm. About Node:Come to San Francisco’s newest private members club and gain insider knowledge on the exploding blockchain and crypto industry.
