Blockchain: Chair

Who I Am

I am Ming, running for Chair of the Blockchain Society to enhance education and events. Blockchain is evolving, and we must build, educate, and create opportunities for our members.

Education – Practical & Industry-Backed

I will launch two lecture series with top blockchain partners:

Blockchain Fundamentals

  • Covers smart contracts, DeFi, NFTs, and Layer 1s.

  • Hosted with Solana, Animoca, Starknet, and more.

  • Hands-on learning with career connections.

Algorithmic Trading & Blockchain Markets

  • Focus on algo trading, DeFi strategies, and market-making.

  • Industry insights from Talos, Wintermute, Kraken.

  • Practical coding and mentorship to build trading models.

AI x Blockchain Hackathon – Our Flagship Event

The bear market is for builders. I will make our AI x Blockchain Hackathon a premier UK event, ensuring:

  • Top VCs & incubators (AgentStarter, Solana Talent Project) support winners.

  • Industry speakers & internship opportunities.

  • A focus on real innovation over hype.

Strengthening Industry Partnerships

Beyond new initiatives, I will also work on deepening our relationships with existing partners like Encode and OpenCampus. This will give our members exclusive industry exposure, internship access, and direct career opportunities in blockchain and Web3.
