Sreeram Kannan - Make Crypto Apps Expressive - TOKEN2049 Dubai 2025
Explore the future of decentralized application development with Sreeram Kannan's insightful presentation at TOKEN2049 Dubai 2025. In this session, Kannan unveils the evolution of the IGEN Layer, described as the "verifiable cloud," and its transformative role in crypto and blockchain technology. Drawing parallels to the web application development of the 1990s and modern cloud infrastructure, Kannan illustrates how IGEN Layer aims to revolutionize the way decentralized protocols are built and operated.
The IGEN Layer enables developers to create decentralized protocols seamlessly, much like deploying an application on Amazon Web Services. This "verifiable cloud" allows for the easy creation and management of Autonomous Verifiable Services (AVS), which operate autonomously and uphold the foundational principle of verifiability inherent in blockchain technology. The IGEN Layer simplifies the development of third-party services, such as applications that verify user data through ZK-LS networks, enabling innovative solutions like Earnify, a top-paid finance application that operates like a regular app but utilizes blockchain technology to provide payroll loans.
Kannan emphasizes the potential for expressive and powerful crypto applications that go beyond simple financial transactions. With IGEN, developers can integrate AI inference, privacy controls, and compliance filters within blockchain systems, unlocking unprecedented capabilities. This evolution not only elevates the practicality of AI agents within smart contracts but also expands the horizon for decentralized applications in areas like medical insurance claims and AI-driven choices within governance and DeFi.
Step into the next era of blockchain applications and discover how IGEN Layer is shaping the landscape with powerful, verifiable services.
