Blockchain San Jose Deputy City Manager Rob Lloyd said Thursday he envisions a future where blockchain technology is used to vote in city, state and even federal elections. “The 40-hour workweek, worker rights, [worker’s] comp protections — those usually start at the local level and then work their way up to state and get adopted by federal — I think the same pattern is going to happen with blockchain-driven voting,” Lloyd said. He added that zero knowledge proof technology could be used to ensure voter anonymity, while also guaranteeing that their vote is forever recorded on an immutable digital ledger.…

Blockchain Historically, many auction houses have built their brands on being exclusive places where the wealthy buy and sell fine art, jewelry, and other luxury items. But today, auction houses are looking for new ways to engage a wider, more diverse, and younger audience of potential buyers. That’s why many of them are turning to Web3 technology. For instance, Christie’s 3.0, which the company describes as an “on-chain auction platform dedicated to exceptional digital art,” was launched in 2021 to support the sale of art in the form of non-fungible tokens, or NFTs. But NFTs aren’t the only thing that…

NFT By his own admission, Erick “Snowfro” Calderon is not a typical crypto founder. Before founding Art Blocks, a marketplace for computer-generated artworks, he spent 20 years running a ceramic tile business. During the last bull market, he claims to have turned down multiple investment offers that would have valued Art Blocks at over $1 billion. He stands firm on the need to uphold creator royalties in the NFT space. And he has resisted the temptation to launch an Art Blocks token. But most iconoclastic of all, he isn’t convinced there will be another crypto bull run. “There are people…
