The University of Nicosia organises Decentralized Learning Series 2020-2021

More specifically, Warren Paul Anderson (Head of Developer Relations, Ripple) and Michael Zochowski (Head of DeFL, Ripple) discussed how to move the dial for developers to connect, communicate, and program, while building trust, utility, and liquidity for a blockchain-powered economy.
