Blockchain Labs Society: Head of Research

Hello everyone!

My name is Matsvei Danisheuski, and I have been a member of the UCL Blockchain Society since September of the 2023.

My interest in crypto started 1.5 years ago, when I wrote my Research Project about whether Bitcoin can replace fiat money or not. Through writing my first paper, and by researching how the Blockchain works, I started discovering many new stuff from DeFi and Cryptocurrencies in general.

Right now, I am engaged in researching new projects in Decentralized Finance, as well as I am researching new cryptocurrencies and technical analysis. I am proficient in on-chain analysis, evaluation of DeFi projects, as well as detecting local and global narratives and following the social sentiment. Here is the list of my recent (or not the most recent) favs: Starknet (ZK-proofs L2), Ethena (USDe, stablecoin, not backed by fiat), ZkSync (ZK-proofs L2), Parcl (RWA), EigenLayer (Restaking Protocol) and LRT protocols such as Puffer, Renzo, Kelp. I am not a tech-savvy guy, and I do not know how to code, however, I am always researching new opportunities and solutions in crypto on a daily basis, that’s why I am applying for the role of the Head of Research of the UCL Blockchain Society.

I am ready to develop myself, as well as my knowledge of technological skills, and I will pay contribution to the development of the UCL Blockchain Society.

Hello, Blockchain Labs society! My name is Veronika Liutarevich, I am a 2nd year Electronic and Electrical Engineering student. I have held a great interest in the Blockchain space for quite a while now, having worked in the field as both a developer and as an entrepreneur. I am very grateful for the society for providing me with opportunities to learn more about Blockchain, including a visit to the a16z office. I would now like to contribute to the society by expanding its research perspectives. As an active entrepreneur in the eEducation and Decentralised Science space, I know the value of being aware of the cutting edge technologies, and I would love to bring all the latest insights to our members.

As Head of Research, I my agenda is to:

1. Introduce a Journals club on the topics in Crypto and Blockchain space.

2. Introduce a research initiative for the members to participate in.

3. Publish a monthly review of latest updates in the field to keep our audience in the loop.

3. Increase the participation of female society members in the events.

I'm committed to advancing our society as a hub for blockchain innovation and education. Your support can turn this vision into reality.

Thank you,

Veronika
