Podcasts about chainweb

Blockchain technology is finally crossing the threshold from speculative promise to practical implementation, and Will Martino is at the forefront of this transformation. As President and Co-Founder of Kadena, Will brings unique credentials to the blockchain space—having built JP Morgan's first blockchain payment system before leaving to solve the fundamental limitations preventing enterprise-grade adoption.The blockchain industry has struggled with a persistent trilemma: how to achieve security, decentralization, and scalability simultaneously. Kadena's breakthrough comes through its innovative ChainWeb architecture, which horizontally scales proof-of-work consensus without corresponding increases in energy consumption. "Right now we have 20 chains that are all in a single network, braided together using proof of work," Will explains. "When we go from 20 to 40, we actually increase our efficiency by 2x for basically no cost."This technical achievement arrives at a pivotal moment. Financial institutions that once insisted on private blockchains are now actively exploring public blockchain integration following BlackRock's successful SEC-approved protocol launch. This shift has created unprecedented opportunity for proof-of-work blockchains like Kadena that offer stronger security guarantees than proof-of-stake alternatives.Beyond the technical architecture, Will's team is addressing critical user experience challenges through SpireKey—a decentralized authentication system inspired by Sweden's Bank ID that transforms smartphones into hardware wallets. Having lived through the early, sometimes painful days of blockchain development (including lost wallet keys worth thousands), Will is committed to making the technology accessible to everyone.Check out kadena.io to explore how this next-generation blockchain is building the infrastructure for crypto's inevitable mainstream adoption.

Kadena is a layer-1 blockchain with a new smart contracts language called “Pact,” and a new Proof of Work consensus mechanism called “Chainweb.”  It sounds interesting, and it is interesting.  Let's take a look at the Kadena blockchain.      Kadena Website: https://kadena.io/ Kadena Documentation: https://docs.kadena.io/ Our Kadena Blog Post: https://thecryptomasters.com/blog/kadena-best-proof-of-work-blockchain   ======================================== *** The Crypto Masters Website *** ======================================== **** Your one-stop shop for crypto! **** * Coin prices and charts * Profit Calculators * Podcast Episodes * Marketcap Comparison Tool ======================================== thecryptomasters.com         ---------------------------------------- *** Socials and Contact *** ---------------------------------------- Socials: facebook: @TheCryptocurrencyMasters twitter: @theCryptoMS1 instagram: @the_crypto_masters       Contact: email: info@thecryptomasters.com Attributions: Intro/Outro Music: https://soundcloud.com/swamigeezy Intro/Outro Visuals: https://www.instagram.com/danimal_sound/

Doug joins the show to discuss Kadena, a new American blockchain project built with proof-of-work consensus, a formalized language and a multi-chain public network.

Joining us this week is Doug Beardsley, Director of Engineering at Kadena (https://kadena.io/).

About Kadena Kadena is creating a hybrid public and permissioned blockchain with a safe and easy-to-use smart contract language. Kadena is fast, secure and simple—and we’re in use today by Fortune 500 clients in finance, healthcare and insurance. Our partners include USCF, a $3 billion dollar ETP fund that leads in alternative investments. Chainweb, Kadena's scalable Proof of Work blockchain, is launching at the end of 2019.

We speak with Stuart Popejoy co-founder from Kadena. This was a really great technical conversation around the hybrid public-private blockchain that Kadena is building with their Chainweb platform and LISP inspired smart contract language Pact. We cover how traditional finance firms incorporate new technologies into their workflow, real world use cases of Kadena, and what’s happening in the Enterprise. We also get into the technical details of Chainweb’s Proof-of-Work consensus system and the importance of writing safe code, which is an underpinning of the Pact language. Topics: What Kadena is His background, genesis story/interest in blockchain Given his experience at JPM, how do large banks approach using new technologies What is the vetting process at a bank like to incorporate a new tech Real world use cases of Kadena How he thinks about keeping things simple, designing a language for non-developers High level overview of Kadena All the key components of Kadena TPS vs. predictable availability Private vs. Public blockchain vs. Hybrid blockchains What are the things that are being built in Enterprise Your decentralized vision / pie in the sky type of thoughts around what things will look like For developers who want to work with Kadena, what steps would your recommend they take Links: GH Repo: https://github.com/kadena-io Deal w/ USCF: https://prn.to/2MnC7Cp Pact Language Tutorial: https://pactlang.org/ REPL: https://pact.kadena.io/ Key features: https://bit.ly/2K2LF44 The EVM Is Fundamentally Unsafe - https://medium.com/kadena-io/the-evm-is-fundamentally-unsafe-ba486cb17f1f Kadena - Medium - https://medium.com/kadena-io A word from a sponsor we’re really excited about.

What do companies expect in a Blockchain solution? Well, Kadena founders Will Martino and Stuart Popejoy have been around the “block” a few times. After fate had them meeting at JP Morgan’s Blockchain Center of Excellence, researching the technology's financial services potential and delivering the JPM coin, they moved on to deliver an enterprise-level solution that is going to become the secret sauce to many corporations. They developed Kadena’s first private blockchain protocol, ScalableBFT, and since then, Kadena’s team has built tools for widespread public adoption as well, such as Pact, a simple and safe smart contract language, and Chainweb, an upcoming proof-of-work protocol to scale the public blockchain. These breakthroughs power Kadena’s hybrid platform that spans both private and public blockchain solutions, showing that these guys really know how to build solutions for companies, allowing them to gear up for the future using a form of blockchain technology unlike any other.

This week's episode features Stuart Popejoy, founder of the Kadena, creator of the Pact smart contract language, and engineer/designer of the Chainweb blockchain protocol. We go in-depth on design decisions for Pact, how language simplicity impacts the security and adoption of second generation blockchains, how formal verification can be used to improve certainty in smart contracts, and the over-emphasis of Turing completeness for a very domain-specific language such as smart contracts. We go into the design behind Chainweb, an unboundedly scalable Proof of Work blockchain architecture, which expects to reach a whopping 10,000 tx/sec (864,000,000 tx/day) on its first year of release.
