Workshop: Breaking into Web3, withAndrew Masanto and Andrew Yeoh
You are warmly invited to join this E-Lab event where we are hosting Andrew Masanto and Andrew Yeoh from Nillion, an innovative web3 internet infrastructure project. In this workshop, they will navigate you through the fundamentals of web3 and blockchain, offer valuable insights on how to identify technological “waves” including the latest exciting intersection of crypto and AI, and equip you with necessary knowledge to break into the decentralised industry. Their goal for students and professionals, at the end of this workshop, is to have a better understanding and feel empowered to capture the opportunities presented by the emerging landscape of decentralised technologies.
Andrew Masanto and Andrew Yeoh, alongside their co-founders, have been developing Nillion since 2021. Nillion has strong ties to Cambridge as this groundbreaking technology was first revealed live here in November 2021. Nillion has since raised $20m in Seed Round funding, won the CoinList Seed Program and made a number of marquee hires, including the Founding Engineer of Uber joining as Founding CTO. Whether you're a curious student, an aspiring entrepreneur, possess coding expertise, or simply hold a profound interest in the decentralized future of the internet, this workshop will provide you with indispensable tools and knowledge to capitalise on the imminent opportunities in web3.

About Nillion
Nillion is new internet infrastructure based on a cryptographic innovation which has led to the development of a novel technology called Nil Message Compute (NMC). The technology fundamentally changes the way data is stored, processed and decentralised and opens up a realm of new decentralised use cases in web3 and blockchains, such as private smart contracts, MEV frontrunning protection, private DEXs, blind DAO voting, keyless multi-chain wallets, private AI/ML, decentralised credit scoring, and more.
The founding team behind Nillion have founded several unicorn and successful crypto and non-crypto companies, including Uber, Indiegogo and two of the top 100 cryptocurrencies (Hedera Hashgraph and Reserve).
