Highly anticipated RSK is the first open-source smart contract platform with a 2-way peg to Bitcoin that also rewards the Bitcoin miners via merge-mining, allowing them to actively participate in the Smart Contract revolution. RSK goal is to add value and functionality to the Bitcoin ecosystem by enabling smart-contracts, near instant payments and higher-scalability.

Disrupting the world of Venture Capital with the blockchain.
VCs invest in startups that disrupt industries and reinvent the world we live in, generating billions of dollars in the process, but until now you could only participate if you were willing to "forget" about your money for 7 years.
Security tokens turn VCs into Liquid VCs - tradable, inclusive, comfortable with both fiat and crypto, capable of investing in both equity and tokens, while still offering the traditional VC advantages of the portfolio management and proper due diligence. This time, it's the VCs who are being disrupted.
Spice VC's Co-Founder and Managing Partner Carlos Domingo takes to the stage to tell us exactly how they plan to bring about this change.
