{"id":"Zn4Q6yAM6jg","title":"The Design of Blockchain Based Apps | Blockchain Onramp Series | San Francisco, CA","description":"Decentralized apps are still apps but there are key differences as well which any app designer needs to understand. Onboarding into a token-based ecosystem. Requesting permission for transactions. Handling wait times and confirmation finality. All of these are unexpected for users and, thus, represent key friction points in their interactions.\n\nIn this event, we covered the full spectrum of what a designer or product person or developer needs to understand the unique world of creating decentralized applications. We'll start high level and then make our way into more specific case studies of design interactions.\n\n*About the Blockchain Onramp Series*\n\n\nBlockchain Onramp is a series of events covering the full spectrum of knowledge necessary to operate effectively within the blockchain ecosystem as a designer, developer or product person. After participating in these events, you should be able to take your functional expertise in any of these areas and apply them to blockchain projects.\n\n\nWe are doing this to provide a key -- and currently missing -- plain-English onramp for people of all functional experience who are interested in building real businesses on this new technology.\n\n\nThe format of each event may differ slightly, but they will be a combination of expert talks and discussions with industry practitioners.\n\n\nThe rough Blockchain Onramp Series roadmap is:\n\n\nProduct Series: Ecosystem, DApps, and Strategy\nDesign Series: Onboarding UX, Best Practices\nDevelopment Series: Developer stack, Building on TestNets, Security, Best Practices\nStartup Series: Marketing, Business Models, and Fundraising\n\n\n\n-- ABOUT THE SPEAKER --\n\n\nErik Trautman leads operations at NEAR Protocol, which is a scalable mobile-first blockchain. He has a long history in technical education: he started in market analysis on Wall Street in 2007, created the popular Odin Project in 2012 and ran Viking Education as its CEO until its acquisition in 2017.\n\n\nFollow the latest from NEAR Protocol on, \n\nDiscord: https://near.ai/discord\nMedium: https://near.ai/medium\nTwitter: https://near.ai/twitter\nGitHub: https://near.ai/github","channel_name":"NEAR Protocol","published_at":"2019-01-24T00:00:00.000Z","thumbnail_url":"https://img.youtube.com/vi/Zn4Q6yAM6jg/hqdefault.jpg","transcript_text":null,"transcript_synced_at":null,"segments":[],"youtube_url":"https://youtube.com/watch?v=Zn4Q6yAM6jg","url":"https://near-pedia.xyz/videos/Zn4Q6yAM6jg"}
