Blockchains, cryptocurrencies, and the metaverse have captured the world by storm over the last two years as Covid forced global populations to move online. However, these terms and technological innovations have also received skepticism and doubt over their feasibility.
In partnership with Phemex, a crypto company located in Singapore, Clayton León, Marcus Paz, and Leo Walker have received a $9,000 research fellowship to study the real-world impact and future prospects surrounding these emerging technologies.
In particular, as a participant in the fellowship, Clayton will examine the top layer 1 blockchains and will give an assessment of the competitive overview to Phemex investors. Marcus will study another hot topic in the industry i.e., cryptocurrency mining’s impact on the environment. Finally, Leo will contribute industry-leading research on how the real estate sector may develop or be integrated with blockchain technology and NFTs.
