Forbes Magazine has announced that the next edition of its annual 30 Under 30 will be released on the Ethereum blockchain.

According to Forbes, blockchain will be used to publish the highly anticipated annual ranking of the top performing entrepreneurs across various sectors.

“Forbes is at the forefront of marrying traditional media with cutting-edge technology. By launching the Under 30 list on the Ethereum blockchain, we’re not just recognizing the influential young leaders; we’re also demonstrating the vast, untapped potential of blockchain technology in the realm of data storage and security.”

In particular, these are the co-founders of Sei Labs and co-founders of the Llama platform. The judges also include Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle.
