  • On April 19, Moscow will host a session dedicated to the application of blockchain technologies in the banking sector within annual Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference Russia. It will engage representatives of Sberbank, Alfa Bank and other companies, actively implementing blockchain in business processes.

    Why Russian bankers are interested in blockchain

    Early in the year, it has transpired that Sberbank has developed a prototype of currency exchange service using blockchain. It is noted that the system operates perfectly and now the matter depends on the regulation issue.

    Another project also draws attention: the platform for registering product supply data according to factoring agreements. The project was tested by Sberbank along with M.Video company. The system allows to speed up goods dispatch and making payments: phone conversations and long corresponding are not required any more.

    In late 2016, the first deal with a letter of credit based on blockchain, technically implemented by Alfa Bank, drew community’s attention. Opening and accomplishment of the letter of credit were formally established as a transaction based on Ethereum smart contract.

    The Bank for Development and Foreign Economic Affairs (Vnesheconombank) is also on its way toward blockchain. In March 2017, VEB sent the project on blockchain implementation based on Rosreestr (Federal Agency for State Registration, Cadastre, and Cartography). Besides, the bank is considering the opportunity to apply blockchain in conducting cross-border transactions and mentioning high potential of the technology.

    Issues covered by banking session

    According to organizers, four speakers have already confirmed their participation in the session, however the list will be supplemented.

    Ekaterina Frolovicheva, managing director of the technical innovations center at Sberbank, will tell in detail about implemented projects and present the market leader’s opinion regarding blockchain application in the Russian banking system.

    Dina Merkulova, Trade Finance Director at Alfa Bank, will dedicate her presentation to the above-mentioned topic: blockchain implementation in letters of credit.

    Elvira Shakirova, an expert at ICC Russia, Associate Professor of the Department of Economics of the State University “Dubna”, will tell about blockchain in the trade financing. And Vladimir Fedorov, the representative of Sovcombank, will present a case study dedicated to the registration of banking records in blockchain.

    Besides, conference attendees will be able to join the Pro section dedicated to blockchain implementation in non-financial sector and the demo zone with cryptocurrency industry equipment.

  • Meeting with Zcash will be held in Moscow for the first time

    Ariel Gabizon, an engineer from the Zcash company that develops a ‘completely anonymous cryptocurrency’, will make a presentation for the first time on April 19 in Moscow. His presentation will be a part of Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference Russia – an annual blockchain conference for entrepreneurs, investors and developers.

    The topic of the report will be the implementation of the Zero-Knowledge Proof algorithm in the Zcash project.

    A decentralized payment system based on the Zero-Knowledge Protocol (a zero-knowledge proof) was launched last autumn and caused a huge stir in the community and on the stock exchanges. The list of investors proves the seriousness of the project: among them were Barry Silbert, Vlad Zamfir and Roger Ver. In late February, the Zcash team presented the official road map of the project.

    On April 19, Ariel will talk about the principle of ZKP usage for the implementation of private transactions in public blockchain.   
    Before joining Zcash, Ariel Gabizon gained experience in research projects at The Hebrew University, Weizmann Institute of Science and Israel Institute of Technology. The focus of his interest is the connection between theories of computational sciences and the blockchain technologies.
