The message. In spite of all the hype behind the technology, the industry and academia are basically following different approaches to address the same problem—of tamper-proof distributed databases (a.k.a., ledgers). Experience shows that there is no pure black and white, and thus it is wise for both rivals to learn from each other and join forces.

The aim. Educate people and bring researchers and engineers from academia, industry, and freelancers to sit together on the same table and try converge to the best of the technology.
