Cypherpunk for Centuries: Coordination and Secrecy Across the Ages
11-13, 17:30–17:40 (Asia/Bangkok), Stage 4

Join Evin McMullen for an adventure through the historical ledger, learning from ancient examples of human coordination, governance and selective disclosure technologies whose principles are reflected in the onchain experiences we know and love today.

Pull up a chair, anon. Class is in session, so let’s explore the core Ethereum Values and context in which we live, and what came before us, through the lens of tech that led to the modern cypherpunk movement.

Evin McMullen is CSO & cofounder of Privado ID, enabling Unified Identity across blockchains and legacy systems. Replacing centralized processes with a network of onchain, enterprise and government reputation providers, Privado ID makes it easy to verify unique humanity, KYC, location, age and more for human and machine reputation on every chain. Evin also founded verifiable data platform Disco.xyz (acq), and was a Director with Berkshire Hathaway & ConsenSys. She is a Yale graduate.
