The core mission of Mavennet is to accelerate the adoption of blockchain technology by transforming age-old legacy systems in a way that can be easily implemented in enterprises. This is also precisely why our mission is no easy task – reducing the resistance to new technology requires us to minimize the amount of change that organizations have to undergo in terms of business processes, mindsets, and skillsets. In this keynote presentation, we will raise up key use cases of how the team is dealing with such challenges in the real world, as we work towards a decentralized future.
