Verasity At TokenBlast: “A Bad Day On The Blockchain”
Verasity continues to push boundaries and made its presence felt in the City of Fog. This time our team was invited to sponsor a unique blockchain event in London.
The cryptocurrency community gathered at RocketSpace for TokenBlast. An event that aims to educate and spread awareness about blockchain technology.
The “panel & fireside chat” format saw Alexander Carter-Silk (Head of European Intellectual Property at Brown Rudnick), Jeremy Barnett (Regulatory Barrister and Executive Director at Resilience Partners), Anna Melton (Chief Strategy Officer at TokenKey), and Tom Shave (Partner at Smith & Williamson) discussing topical trends and challenges in the industry.
The occasion? Exploring operational challenges of running a blockchain company — and mulling over possible “bad day“ scenarios. The aim was to help blockchain startups gain situational awareness, develop emergency responses and to determine the extent of impact of such scenarios.
Around one-hundred blockchain enthusiasts attended TokenBlast London, including entrepreneurs, developers, investors, founders of blockchain startups, regulation experts, security specialists, traders, lawyers and crypto-enthusiasts.
It was great to catch up with so many knowledgeable minds from the crypto-community. Likewise, a pleasure to show everyone how VeraPlayer works face to face. — Tom Hillman, Community and Communications at Verasity.
It was fitting that Verasity attended and sponsored TokenBlast as the event centered around real hands-on experience.
Getting to demo our working VeraPlayer product was an absolute privilege.

Aside from Verasity, attention was also given to Fathom — a data science blockchain startup which rewards those who contribute data and those who realize its value.
One of the key takeaways from the evening was the assurance that blockchain-powered startups will be able to find favourable, or at least clear-cut regulatory framework to launch their businesses.
It was also vindicating to hear that businesses must do their legal planning and due diligence to help regulators set and enforce rules. Verasity has done both of these things and is one of the companies fostering innovation whilst promoting market integrity and confidence.
