She is Austrian, with Iranian roots and currently lives in Portugal who works on the intersection of technology, art & social science. She believes that the Web3 and it’s tokenized applications can shift the dynamics of our socio-economic systems, which is why a good understanding of the technology and it’s applications is fundamental to the process of co-creating this new collective infrastructure and its applications. Shermin has a long track record of public speaking about Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies, the Web3 and the future of technologies in general – from prestigious community conferences such as TedX, The Next Web or Re:publica, to private events for companies and institutions such as Vodafone, Audi, IMF and the Wordbank. Her biggest strength is to make complex issues easily understandable to a wide audience without losing the depth or scope of the issues she writes or talks about. She has a multidisciplinary perspective of how Web3 will impact different areas of society.
