Cornell Tech provides the home for the Initiative for Cryptocurrencies and Contracts (IC3), a collaboration between researchers from Cornell and a global network of higher education institutions, including Carnegie Mellon and the University of California, Berkeley. Its ground-breaking work so far has included developing the test bed Miniature World, where experiments can be held at 15% of the size of the actual bitcoin system. It has held a blockchain summer camp for five years running, stimulating the collaboration of developers, academics and students.
