🦉Gnosis Weekly Recap ~ 08 November 2024

DevConflict: Where Conviction Meets Prediction in Bangkok 🌶️

Ethereum's most heated debates are about to unfold in Bangkok this November 9-10, just before DevCon kicks off. DevConflict isn't just another tech event– it's an intellectual arena where Ethereum's most pressing controversies will be settled through rigorous Oxford-style debates, live audience participation, and cutting-edge prediction markets.

Your Voice, Your Vote: Oxford-Style Debates

Each debate begins with a live audience vote to gauge initial positions. After witnessing the intellectual sparring between industry titans, the audience votes again – revealing how compelling arguments can shift perspectives in real-time. This dynamic format transforms passive spectators into active participants in shaping blockchain's future.

Prediction Markets: A Return to Gnosis Roots

In a fitting tribute to Gnosis's origins as a pioneering force in decentralized prediction markets, DevConflict integrates live markets for each debate topic through Presagio. Built on the battle-tested Gnosis Conditional Token Framework (the same technology powering Polymarket's success) and enhanced by the Omen.eth oracle, these markets create a fascinating confluence of AI agent analysis and human insight. Following prediction markets' impressive accuracy in recent U.S. presidential race forecasts, there's never been a better time to showcase this technology's potential.
