Better Together: Bring a Friend to the Blockchain Bootcamp & Workforce Expo and Score Free Swag! 🎉 The countdown is officially on! The Maryland Blockchain Bootcamp & Workforce Expo is taking over the schedule from July 13th to July 17th, and we are shaping up to deliver an incredible week. We’re moving away from standard, dry classroom lectures and turning this into a high-energy, professional trade show and policy summit format. Think cutting-edge tech showcases, deep dives into digital asset policy, real-world blockchain applications, and elite networking. But an impact is always bigger when you bring your crew—so we’re sweetening the deal. The "Bring a Friend" Swag Perk Blockchain and emerging tech are inherently collaborative. Whether you’re diving into digital property records, stablecoin frameworks, or the rise of agentic AI, these conversations are best shared. When you register for your summit pass and bring a colleague, friend, or fellow builder along with you, you both walk away with exclusive, premium event swag. How it works: When you and your referral check in at the registration desk together, you'll both unlock a custom tier of branded gear. We’ve put a lot of care into this year's lineup—no flimsy plastic trinkets here. We are loading up the merch tables with high-quality, custom-branded supplies designed for daily professional use. 📊 Event at a Glance DatesJuly 13 – July 17, 2026 Format Professional Workshops & Interactive Discussions Capacity Capped at 400 attendees per day for networking Register Here: luma.com/vwp75zcg With attendance strictly capped, seats in the room are limited.

Help is Needed! We were just approached by one of the companies in our network to share their model had changed and in order to be part of the BLI Legal Tech Hackathon they need to charge the hackers in order to obtain the credits originally promised. I know that times are difficult. However, for youth and college hackers I do not believe we should be charging them to learn and participate. We are making a direct, urgent appeal to our incredible tech and innovation community. Right now, we have a room full of brilliant, hungry minds ready to build the future of the global digital asset ecosystem and pioneer next-gen workforce tech. The energy, the talent, and the ideas are all lined up for our upcoming hackathon. There’s just one critical piece missing: We need a main sponsor to help cross the finish line. Organizing an event that brings together developers, creators, and professionals to build real-world solutions takes a village. We are currently looking for a sponsor (or a collaborative group of sponsors) to help us. Why step up as a sponsor? Direct Access to Top Talent: You’ll be in the room with the exact cross-disciplinary talent companies are hunting for—the rare individuals who understand both smart contract logic and traditional compliance. Brand Visibility: Your company will be front and center as a true ecosystem builder, recognized directly by the innovators, regulators, and industry leaders shaping the future of finance and workforce development. Be a Catalyst: You aren't just funding an event; you are actively kickstarting projects that could scale into real-world institutional infrastructure. If your organization believes in supporting local innovation, driving tech literacy, and giving builders a platform to create, we need you. No contribution is too small, and we are completely open to tailoring a sponsorship package that aligns with your goals. Time is ticking, and our hackers are ready. If you can help, or if you know a company that wants to champion the next wave of digital transformation, please reach out to us directly or tag them in the comments below. Let’s build this together!

Did you hear? Coindesk just posted: Mastercard launched Agent Pay for Machines (AP4M) Wednesday — a payment infrastructure layer that lets AI agents and software systems authorize, coordinate, and settle transactions across cards, bank accounts, and stablecoins without human involvement. More than 30 companies have joined as launch partners, including Coinbase, Stripe, Adyen, OKX, Ripple, Cloudflare, and the Solana Foundation. Agent credentials and permissions are initially recorded on Polygon, Solana, and Base, with broader blockchain support planned later this year. The platform handles high-frequency, low-latency micropayments — transactions worth fractions of a cent — while enforcing spending limits and guaranteeing settlement. Mastercard CPO Jorn Lambert: "Agent Pay for Machines will create the conditions for a superbloom of AI business models." The launch follows Robinhood's Agentic Trading rollout last month, Coinbase's Base x402 protocol reaching 167 million transactions, and Google's AP2 standard from September 2025 — as a de facto machine-payments stack assembles in real time.
