Decentral Founder & CEO Anthony Di Iorio is going to make a major announcement at the official Consensus industry closing event.

Canadian blockchain company Decentral has announced that it will be hosting the official afterparty for Consensus, the world’s largest blockchain conference, in New York City on May 16, 2018.

The afterparty is expected to be attended by more than 1,000 friends and partners, Decentral said. At the event, “United by Decentral,” Di Iorio will reveal the “Decentral Project,” which aims to empower the ecosystem with unparalleled tools to enable the masses to take control of their digital lives.

“The platform unveiled on the United by Decentral cruise will unify and empower people, spread positivity and create immense impact. We live in a polarized world where things are often seen as binary and our digital lives reflect this fragmentation. Decentral is addressing this fragmentation by providing a single, unified experience for the global community that agnostically supports all decentralized projects,” Di Iorio said.

“Furthermore, by providing mainstream applications for decentralized platforms and putting data ownership rightfully back in the hands of individual users, Decentral will pave a much-needed middle ground where people are encouraged to find things in common — we’re humanizing blockchain.”

Since its inception four years ago, Decentral said that it has created a community of hundreds of partner projects, most notably spawning leading blockchain Ethereum, and developing Jaxx, the multi-platform, multi-currency cryptocurrency wallet. In the pursuit of unprecedented transparency and trustworthiness in the modern commercial ecosystem, the company said that it intends for its new platform to empower the general public to take control of their digital lives by maintaining full control of their data.

"The Decentral Project is our vision for the future. For the past four years, Decentral has been working toward a paradigm shift where users gain control of their digital assets and their digital lives. Our mission is to create the tools to make this possible. With our partners and friends aboard the United by Decentral cruise party, we’ll be sharing details of our new software, hardware and products for the new internet of value,” added Di Iorio.
