BLOČK 2018 – NFT Edition is a blockchain developer conference that will take place on December 14 and 15 (Friday and Saturday) at Hotel Castellum and the historical Castle Zrinski in Čakovec. With a maximum of 90 attendees and a group of internationally acclaimed speakers, we aim to establish a transfer of high-quality theoretical and practical knowledge through talks and workshops, and to inspire a fruitful exchange of new ideas, concepts, and good vibes during informal parts of the conference that will include a town-wide cryptohunt and a crypto party on Saturday night.

NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) – NFTs, unique and non-interchangeable cryptographic tokens, are a popular and rapidly-growing domain of blockchain technology. Both the development and the application of NFTs require a significant amount of understanding, so we selected them as the main theme of this year’s BLOČK. NFTs, if you’re not familiar, are digital, unfalsifiable representations of real world information or value that are non-interchangeable, i.e. not equal between them. Think certificates, diplomas, collectibles. For a full introduction, please see bitfalls.com/nft. At Bločk, we’ll build several NFTs of varying complexity and even use some in our city-wide crypto hunt!

We hope to turn BLOČK into an elite annual blockchain conference that will initiate the process of technological decentralization of Čakovec and turn the picturesque town of Čakovec and the surrounding winemaking region of Međimurje into a competent technological hub and an attractive spot for future blockchain events.
