Liu Hong from the DICA Lab at Sichuan University shared their latest research results on the Byzantine algorithm. The lecture sparked students’ curiosity and encouraged them to delve deeper into the complex algorithms of blockchain technology.
The hometown of giant pandas and pizza!
A total of 21 students attended, who received small gifts and some sweet treats. The fluffy panda toys were a huge hit and they fit in perfectly with the venue provided by Panda VR.
Did you know that Sichuan is the hometown of giant pandas?
Everyone was in free conversation, discussing topics of interest.
question Time
To encourage participants to start building their own applications and actively delve into web3-related knowledge, a Q&A session was held at the end of the event, and the first five questioners could receive The Graph hoodies.
Students showed great interest in the security and application of web3. The questions ranged from basic blockchain knowledge to security and privacy challenges, as well as the changes and conveniences that blockchain can bring to real life and work scenarios.
