Chris Dixon, founder and managing partner of a16z crypto and general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, will examine why blockchains are essential to cryptocurrency and the Web3 ecosystem, the value of NFTs, the future of the “new internet” and why decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are experiments in democracy.

Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, co-founder and CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem and digital asset exchange, will deconstruct the true origins of crypto and share some of the innovations needed to propel blockchains and crypto into the future.
