On April 19th, members of the Effect.AI team visited the Zero-In Conference in Amsterdam. They attended presentations on the subject of blockchain technology and met with several influencers in the blockchain space to discuss the Effect Network and possible collaborations. If you are interested in the speeches of the conference you can find the videos here. Switcheo, the first Multi-Chain Decentralized Exchange for NEP-5 tokens, added the EFX token to their platform just last week. Users are now able to to trade EFX with NEO, GAS and SWH instantly -- and from their own wallet files -- greatly reducing delays and fees associated with deposits and withdrawals.

The introduction of blockchain and cryptocurrency has caused a shift in many industries. Aside from IOT, another futuristic technology is being partnered with blockchain. Artificial Intelligence has majorly contributed in shifting paradigm in medical treatments and manual labour. For example, introduction of digital pathology software enables quicker detection of carcinoma under microscope, increasing productivity by 13% and decreasing the number of false negatives caused by human error. AI has been around for a while but has faced many challenges in terms of development and expansion due to lack of power in mass market.
