This opens the door to applications that can use sensitive data that otherwise would not be available.What will I build?Whatever you want. The only requirement is that it uses Linnia.js or the Linnia-box (a create react app starter kit).Developers get the advantage of being able to mix and match new forms of data and thus creating new types of app, say in the healthcare sector where privacy is essential.No need to know much about the Blockchain, Solidity, or Ethereum.How will you do it?Hack together your app using our Linnia.js library that does all the heavy lifting for you. Or use our Linnia-box, a React App preloaded with our Linnia.js library and our Linnia Smart Contracts all in one convenient package.Where?At Bushwick Generator in the world renowned hip neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn.
