This critical shift will be the main focus at Blockchain for Nations and Institutions, a full-day, exclusive event hosted by the Layer 1 blockchain RYT during the upcoming TOKEN2049 week in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>The invite-only gathering, scheduled for Tuesday, September 30, will convene senior government officials, institutional pioneers, and leaders from traditional finance (TradFi). The goal is to move past hypotheticals and into the practical realities of deploying blockchain solutions for national-scale digital identity, stablecoins, and compliance-first payment systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlockchain is entering a new era, evolving from pilot projects to critical infrastructure for governments and institutions,\u201d said Jeff Mahony, Co-founder and Chief Architect of RYT. \u201cRYT was designed from the ground up to meet these standards, with security, compliance, and scalability at its core. At TOKEN2049, we\u2019re convening leaders to discuss how blockchain is being built into national systems for identity, payments, and financial services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Global trends underscore the urgency behind this transition. Over 130 countries, representing 98% of the world\u2019s GDP, are actively exploring digital currencies. From Estonia\u2019s well-established e-governance framework to Singapore\u2019s Project Guardian for asset tokenization, the migration to on-chain infrastructure is clearly accelerating.<\/p>\n<h2>Event Agenda and Speakers<\/h2>\n<p>The day\u2019s discussions will feature candid insights from experts who are actively building and regulating these next-generation systems.<\/p>\n<h4>Session 1: The Institutional Perspective (1:00 PM \u2013 2:00 PM)<\/h4>\n<p>This panel will explore blockchain adoption from the private sector and technology side.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Moderator: Mike Slatkin, CMO of RYT<\/li>\n<li>Speakers:<br \/>Jeff Mahony \u2013 Co-Founder, RYT<br \/>Anurag Arjun \u2013 Co-Founder of Polygon Technologies and founder of Avail<br \/>Bryn Bennett \u2013 Partner, Cybersecurity &amp; Compliance at Hacken<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Session 2: The Government Perspective (3:00 PM \u2013 4:00 PM)<\/h4>\n<p>This session will focus on the public sector\u2019s role in leveraging blockchain for national infrastructure.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Moderator: Mike Slatkin, CMO of RYT<\/li>\n<li>Speakers:<br \/>Steve Durbin \u2013 Co-Founder, RYT<br \/>Burcu Mavis \u2013 Blockchain Accelerator Lead, UNDP (United Nations Development Programme)<br \/>Maj.
