blockchain research and industry applications
From: Blockchain.RIO (@blockchain_rio)
Blockchain Rio 2026 is issuing a call for papers to blockchain researchers across Brazil and Latin America. The Blockchain Academy x Industry Forum is the track that takes scientific research out of academia and places it directly in front of decision-makers: bank and fintech https://t.co/mu0PnjEjBz
Suggested talking points
The track's positioning directly bridges the implementation gap between blockchain protocol research and regulated financial institutions—allowing researchers to present findings on transaction finality, consensus mechanisms, or regulatory compliance frameworks that have immediate applicability for banks and fintechs operating across Latin American jurisdictions
Latin America's specific regulatory environment and cross-border payment challenges create a distinct research context; presenting findings on how blockchain architectures address remittance corridors, central bank digital currency interoperability, or Know Your Customer requirements positions research as regionally grounded rather than globally abstracted
The forum structure enables researchers to receive direct feedback from compliance officers and treasury decision-makers on blockchain implementation, meaning papers addressing scalability trade-offs, settlement risk, or audit trail requirements will resonate with practitioners evaluating actual deployment decisions
Position your blockchain research as addressing the specific regulatory and operational constraints that financial institutions in Brazil and Latin America face when evaluating distributed ledger deployment.
