BitShares Global Online Summit
The BitShares Online Summit was successfully held on October 10th, 2019. The online summit was initiated by the BitShares Core Team to help improve the communication across our entire community. Organized by Spark Blockchain, 200+ people participated in the Online Summit and actively discussed topics related to worker proposals, project vision, and marketing.
The BitShares Online Summit contains some fantastic and detailed insights into work and achievements of the past 2 years. Listen to the below speaker slots which include Q&A segments. It is hoped a consequence of these sessions will encourage cooperation. More shared-thought leadership will result in wider success for all stakeholders and workers around the BitShares Blockchain.
Worker Report Session
In the worker report session, Ryan R. Fox from the Core Team gave the first speech. Ryan began with a reminder that the Decentralized 2019 conference is coming up soon. He then introduced the employee structure and duties of the core development team. He mentioned that the Core Team believes block producing, price feeding and market operation could be separate.

Ryan also noticed that the major voting proxies can respond to market changes in a timely manner, and letting proxies be responsible for the operation could help the platform react to market changes quickly.

Project Vision Session
In the project vision session, Ryan R. Fox and Nathan Hourt from the Core Team then outlined their ideas on the future development of BitShares. Ryan pointed out that mobile development is a top priority for now, so the community should put effort into the cross-chain transfer, asset security, and governance.
Nathan believes that since BitShares is a decentralized financial platform, the current main goal is to attract more dApp developers on to the blockchain and provide them with an advanced development environment. Nathan has detailed the framework of a proposed general solution for smart contracts and pointed out the framework can simulate direct person-to-person contract execution in the real world.
