NEM (XEM) a smart asset based platform makes it easier for developers to get into Blockchain technology and start using it rather then re inventing the wheel. Its similar to Ethereum but allows easy deployments and the learning barrier is significantly reduced.

The session was conducted on Saturday and was free of cost. It was scheduled for 2 hours which went on much longer then expected. The session saw great response with the room filled to capacity. It might be noted that future sessions will be possible with the next one to be presented at Szabist university.

They are planning to arrange more free of cost sessions like this on mining, discussing the impact of ICO in a decentralized economy, Smart Contracts and use cases to motivate people specially developers to start taking interest in Blockchain and solve problems by using this technology. Further development along the lines of trading can be discussed to understand how all the crypto currency exchanges work. Since crypto and blockchain is a relatively new concept in Pakistan its very important to understand how and why does this work and how it can benefit in the long run.
