TN Lee is the CoFounder of Pendle Finance and a CoFounding member of Kyber Network. In this episode, we explain Pendle Finance and provide a rare guide to DeFi yield trading strategies within the increasingly popular protocol. Pendle was a breakout star in DeFi during the doldrums of the crypto bear market, and if you listen to the ethos behind TN Lee, you'll soon understand why. Pendle aims to reimagine the traditional finance interest derivative market, worth over $400 trillion in notional value, but instead as a trustless DeFi money lego, where anyone with a crypto wallet can execute yield strategies such as earning fixed yield or longing the stETH yield rate. We would highly recommend watching the podcast here on Youtube for rich visual examples, which brings many of these yield trading strategies to life with screensharing on the Pendle app. ------

🐋 Ayer una dirección de BTC movió más de mil cien millones de dólares en una transacción, la mayor transferencia de Bitcoin de la historia: - La ballena realizó lo que posiblemente es la transacción en dólares más grande en la historia de la red de BTC - En la transacción se movieron cerca de 90.000 BTC (+/- mil ciento ciento millones) pagando una comisión de sólo 3,59 dólares. - Aunque no se sabe con certeza, parece que la transacción viene de una dirección de Xapo a una dirección controlada por Coinbase, pues Coinbase adquirió parte del negocio de Xapo en 2019 - El récord de la transacción por más valor hasta el día de ayer lo tenía Bitfinex con una transacción por mil cien millones - Vale la pena destacar que en 2011 el famoso exchange Mt Gox realizó una transacción en la que movió 550 mil BTC, pero en ese momento sólo representaba 1,32 millones de dólares. Esa misma cantidad de BTC hoy sería más de 7 mil millones. 📊 Bitcoin, la mejor inversión del mundo según CEO de Abra - Abra es una wallet y exchange de criptomonedas y su CEO anunció que mantiene más del 50% de sus inversiones en Bitcoin - El anuncio lo hizo en su cuenta de Twitter - Entre las razones para su justificación, Bill Barhydt dice que la emisión limitada de BTC que nunca llegará a 21 millones y el carácter descentralizado de la criptomoneda hace que sean la mejor inversión del mundo - Además, también mencionó las posibles mejoras en privacidad, seguridad y escalabilidad con Taproot y Schnorr signatures. https://news.bit2me.com/bitcoin-la-me... 💸 DeFi llega a XRP de Ripple - Flare Finance es el protocolo de finanzas descentralizadas (DeFi) que promete llevar las potencialidades de los ecosistemas descentralizados de Ethereum a la red de Ripple - Si el proyecto es exitoso, los usuarios de la red de Ripple podrán disfrutar de las propiedades que ofrecen algunos de los protocolos DeFi de Ethereum - Como es de esperarse, Flare Finance lanzará su propio token FLR que servirá para interactuar con el protocolo - Aunque parece que hasta ahora están empezando, sería interesante ver si pueden compartir con Ethereum y todos los demás proyectos que pretenden destronar a Ethereum como la plataforma nativa de DeFi. https://news.bit2me.com/?p=5125&previ... 🏦 KyberPRO permite llevar a los creadores de mercado a DeFi - Creadores de mercado son personas u organizaciones que dan liquidez al mercado (compra y venta) - Kyber Network anunció el lanzamiento oficial de un nuevo marco de reserva flexible que permite integrar a los creadores de mercado con los protocolos DeFi - El proyecto lleva cerca de 2 años en pruebas y de ser exitoso ofrecerá beneficios a los usuarios al poder contar con mayor liquidez para realizar transacciones - De acuerdo con un estudio, entre el 70% y el 80% del volumen de negociación de Kyber es realizado por creadores de mercado profesionales, que hasta la fecha han generado más de 1.000 millones de dólares de volumen. 🐋 Número de ballenas en Bitcoin está en máximos desde 2016 - Las ballenas son grandes poseedores de bitcoin - Hasta el fin de semana, el número de direcciones con al menos 1.000 BTC era de 1,939, el máximo desde septiembre de 2016 - El número de ballenas aumentó considerablemente desde el miércoles pasado con la subida del precio de BTC y el anuncio de PayPal de empezar a aceptar la compra, venta y almacenamiento de criptomonedas. 🚀 Suscríbete a nuestro Canal: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBiA... 00:00 Sumario 0:28 Expert Sessions 0:51 Primera Noticia 1:37 Segunda Noticia 2:30 Tercera Noticia 3:26 Cuarta Noticia 4:25 Quinta Noticia 5:45 Cierre #Transferencia #Ballena #Bitcoin #Blockchain #Criptomonedas 📲¡Descárgate la APP! https://bit2me.com/download Compra y vende Bitcoin , Ethereum , Litecoin , Dash, Bitcoin Cash , Ripple y otras criptomonedas .

Kyber Network - building the liquidity infrastructure for DeFi

Loi Luu is the CEO and Co-Founder of Kyber Network - one of the best used Defi protocols in the world. Kyber is an on-chain liquidity protocol that powers decentralized applications, exchanges, funds, and DeFi lending protocols.    Why you should listen: Loi Luu has a PhD in Computer Science from the National University of Singapore, where he worked to improve the base technical layers of decentralization, scalability and security for the public blockchain infrastructure. His work benefits many blockchain companies and projects world wide and collectively these companies are worth tens of billions of US dollars. The idea for Kyber Network came from Loi's belief that he could bring the benefits of decentralized technologies to a bigger audience and facilitate real-world use cases. When a project approached him to accept a different token in addition to Ethereum, Loi realized that there was no practical solution to this problem. He then began work on developing the liquidity infrastructure for what would become known as the decentralized finance ecosystem.   Key takeaway: Kyber is the liquidity infrastructure for decentralized finance (DeFi). Kyber aggregates liquidity from diverse sources into a single pool, which provides the best rates for takers such as DApps, wallets, and DEXs. Kyber is a fully on-chain liquidity protocol that enables the decentralized exchange of crypto assets in any application. Liquidity providers are integrated into one single endpoint for takers and users. When a user requests a trade, the protocol will scan the entire network to find the reserve with the best price and take liquidity from that particular reserve. Kyber was the most used project in DeFi in 2019. To date, more than 100 blockchain projects have integrated Kyber for their liquidity needs.   Supporting links: Kyber Network Loi Luuu on Twitter Kyber on Twitter The DeFi Liquidity Vortex Andy on Twitter  Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin BNC Pro   The Crypto Conversation is sponsored by BNC Pro, the new digital wealth platform featuring an all-in-one suite of customizable, institutional-grade applications that help you manage your crypto investments.

This is your daily roundup for Sunday, September 29, 2019. Ethereum’s Istanbul upgrade breaks smart contracts on Aragon, Ripple acquires Algrim, and BK Global falls short of paying up for it’s $333 million acquisition of Bithumb. ☕ Buy Me A Coffee: https://glow.fm/mota EnHelix Launched On Hyperledger Fabric EnHelix has launched on the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain for commodities trading in the gas industry. Enhelix’s blockchain solutions for the oil and gas sector comprise three major systems including Marketplace, Logistics and Settlement. The software streamlines commodities trading with applications supporting every step of the process, including pre-trade KYC, trade execution and post-trade risk management. Automated systems and smart contracts make the energy trades faster and more organized for users. Ripple Acquires Algrim Ripple has acquired Iceland-based crypto trading firm Algrim. Algrim had been developing a crypto trading platform that integrated with more than 30 markets. Six Algrim engineers will join Ripple in expanding cross-border payment corridors and contribute to the ongoing development of the company’s on-demand liquidity product, focusing on integrations with partner crypto exchanges.  On-demand liquidity through Ripple’s xRapid cross-border payment service allows companies to transfer funds from one currency to XRP and from XRP to another currency. Ripple says it has more than a dozen customers using XRP for cross-border transactions. BK Global Falling Short Of Bithumb Acquisition BK Global is falling short on its acquisition of Bithumb. In October 2018, BK Global had agreed to buy a 51 percent stake in Bithumb from BTC Korean Holdings for $333 million. Since the deal was brokered, BK Global reportedly made a down payment of $100 million. According to sources from The Korea Herald, BK Global pushed back it’s April deadline for completing the purchase, and once again missed a Sept. 30 deadline for the final payment. BK Global was allegedly seeking various partnerships or buyouts to secure the remaining capital for the acquisition, and increased its share to 70%. Bithumb has since stated that the exchange has stable management, so there won’t be any impact should the deal collapse. Crypto Rating Council Coinbase has announced the launch of its Crypto Rating Council, a member-operated organization formed to assist digital asset firms to comply with U.S. securities laws. Anchorage, Bittrex, Circle, DRW Cumberland, Genesis, Grayscale Investments and Kraken have joined the initiative. The council rates tokens between one and five. A score of one means a token has few similarities to a security and a score of five means a token resonates strongly with being a security. The council has rated 20 crypto assets, rating XRP, maker (MKR) and polymath (POLY) as likely to be securities. Bitcoin was rated as likely to not be a security due to the absence of a marketed token sale and anonymity of the project team. There has been much controversy over the rating system though, Binance CEO CZ tweeted “The guys who score above 2 should form their own counsel and re-rate everything again.” Ethereum Istanbul Upgrade Ethereum’s Ropsten test network is undergoing a hard fork upgrade known as Istanbul. A new EIP will be implemented to address increasing computational cost.  EIP 1884 will increase the gas prices of three resource-intensive operations. The SLOAD operation will increase gas cost by 4 times from 200 gas per operation to 800 gas per operation. This increase in gas will break 680 smart contracts on Aragon and will increase prices for end-users on the Kyber Network. The smart contracts on Aragon typically manage the governance of DApps running on ethereum. Aragon One CTO Jorge Izquierdo told CoinDesk that forced upgrades are required for the affected smart contracts in order to ensure DAOs built on Aragon continue to function smoothly. Before the fork is implemented, DAOs could receive ETH from one another, but after the fork DAOs on Aragon would essentially run out of gas. Istanbul is expected to introduce a more efficient network. Blockchain researcher Mihailo Bjelic said Monday that bad developer practices are likely the cause of such hiccups, rather than the nature of the upgrade itself, stating “Developers should definitely not be hard-coding assumptions about gas cost into their applications because these numbers can change at any point.”

Everyone makes mistakes but when you cover Chinese regulations, you have to be a bit more careful than CCN. The site reported that and I'm quoting here: "China’s Merchants are Legally Allowed to Accept Bitcoin and Crypto". But that's totally not what happened and it matters because the market is very sensitive to news coming out from China. So what did happen then? The International Court of Arbitration closed a case where one party refused to transfer crypto to the other party after receiving payment in fiat. The court, which is an arbitration court, so it doesn't make law, it just interprets law, had to decide if existing contract law and general provisions of the civil law do apply in this case. The court did say owning and transferring Bitcoin is not illegal in China, the general civil law provisions should apply, and therefore the contract must be honored. It did not say merchants are legally allowed to accept cryptocurrencies. That's a whole different story, because that is challenging the status of Renminbi, the government fiat currency.BitGo announced the launch of WBTC or wrapped Bitcoin, which is an ERC20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, fully backed by bitcoin. The project will launch in January next year in partnership with Kyber Network and the Republic Protocol. The idea sounds weird at first. Why would you need anything like this? But if you think about it, there are use cases when Bitcoin on Ethereum makes a whole lot of sense.Currently, you cannot use Bitcoin in decentralized applications, because Bitcoin is not very programmable. You can, with some black magic, create smart contracts on Bitcoin, but these are not very... smart. Their functionality is rather limited. Dapps include decentralized exchanges, and you cannot really trade Bitcoin on decentralized exchanges today. With WBTC, you can program Bitcoin like any other ERC20 token. You can write smart contracts for collateralized lending, payments, escrow, et cetera. It sounds weird, and the reaction by the Bitcoin maximalists was not very friendly, as you can imagine, it is actually quite exciting.

UC Berkeley students Nadir Akhtar and Ashvin Nihalani, members of Blockchain at Berkeley, discuss blockchain technology and token economies.Transcript:Lisa Kiefer:Method to the Madness is next. You're listening to Method to the Madness, a biweekly public affairs show on KALX Berkeley, celebrating Bay Area innovators. I'm your host, Lisa Kiefer. Today we're going to unravel the mysteries of blockchain technology. I'm speaking with-Ashvin N.:Ashvin [Nilani 00:00:20].Nadir Akhtar:Nadir Akhtar.Lisa Kiefer:Two members of Blockchain at Berkeley. And before we start talking about blockchain, can you tell me what this organization is and when it got started here at Cal.Nadir Akhtar:Fall 2014. It was originally a Bitcoin Association of Berkeley. Get together club, social club where you just talk about Bitcoin, talk about related technologies, blockchain. But in Fall 2016, a man by the name of Tobias Disse from the Netherlands, exchange student, said we should start a blockchain consulting group. And that was when our entire organization changed.We went from a social club to several layers of management producing output, high standards organization, like a company. But the leadership is entirely students.Lisa Kiefer:In the paper every day, there's something about blockchain, something about cryptocurrencies; and a lot of people don't really get it. So can you in layman's terms describe the blockchain technology?Nadir Akhtar:A blockchain is essentially a ledger shared by multiple people, which any one of those people can edit. The difference is that you don't have to trust any of those people when making edits to the distributed ledger. Analogy I like to use is if you're watching a sports game and there's the referee; you can either trust the referee alone to keep track of the score.It's much more efficient to know what the score is at any given point, but you trust that referee to be correct, not to be bribed or to just slip up. If that referee makes a single mistake, there's no check unless you have other people watching. A blockchain is like putting the burden of keeping track of the score on the audience instead of just on the referees.Now, you can poll every person in the audience at every stage of the match after every game and ask, "Okay, what's the score now?" And then the entire audience will respond. A lot of people may not have been paying attention. A lot of people may be voting in their own favor, but if you trust that the majority is honest, then you'll always have a correct vote if you trust the majority, or if you go with what the majority vote is.Ashvin N.:So, a succinct way to put it in one sentence is a distributed, replicated, append only ledger. That's what I kind of go for. My one line, and then I'll use it to explain it to anybody.Lisa Kiefer:When the financial crash of 2008 happened, shortly thereafter, a gentleman by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto came up with this idea of an open protocol system.Ashvin N.:You're right. Satoshi Nakamoto, a moniker that we don't know who exactly he is, he created a system for a distributed, trustless financial network. He worked on that, and then a bunch of other people joined in. We had the buildup of Bitcoin and he called it Bitcoin, and then eventually we had it expanding on beyond that, and now...Eventually, the banks and other institutions got interested, but Bitcoin had been associated with some negative aspects, including the Mt. Gox hacks and the overall dark web and the trade in there. So then banks and other institutions said, "We like the technology behind Bitcoin, but we don't want the necessary negative stigma associated with it." So they rebranded it, called it blockchain.Nadir Akhtar:It was rather they focused on the blockchain aspect rather than the cryptocurrency aspect. It was called a blockchain and the technical white paper back when it was two words. When you thought of blockchain back then, there was just the Bitcoin blockchain; but then banks wanted to focus on the technology and what that could do for other services rather than cryptocurrencies.Lisa Kiefer:I don't even want to talk about the cryptocurrencies yet. I want to talk about the social and political revolutionary change that blockchain as a technology will bring to me as a consumer. It's going to eliminate that middle layer of business that I'm not going to need anymore. When I buy a house, I'm not going to need to get my title from a title company. There's going to be a massive disruption in certain industries. Right?Nadir Akhtar:The way I expect is that most of these third parties, they just serve as execution bodies. It's because we didn't have autonomous agents back a few hundred years ago that we had to develop these services like banks, like brokers, that would take care of the middle layer for us.Now that we have blockchain, or now that we have automation in general, we can take things that humans used to do and now we can make sure that those things are executed in a secure and unstoppable way.Lisa Kiefer:In the early days of the Internet, it was supposed to be this decentralized, very democratic system and it evolved into something completely different than that, where we have these monoliths like Facebook and Google and...Ashvin N.:At its core, it's just about decentralized decision making. That's all it is.Lisa Kiefer:What's wrong with centralized?Ashvin N.:Well, I mean that's the question, right? There are certain cons associated with blockchain. These include some technological cons and certain governance cons that you'd come in and are those worth, in some cases the decentralized governance? Is it worth it?Lisa Kiefer:So this is an open question.Ashvin N.:This is an open question. Right. I'm really glad actually that you brought up that it's analogous to the beginning of the Internet because it really is. You have everybody trying to assume that, hey, we're going to blockchain this, we going to have to blockchain that. Similar to how everybody said everybody had a personal website and everybody had their own little company page. But is it actually useful in some cases? Maybe, maybe not.At its core, it's decentralized decision making and that's what makes it so attractive to some people.Lisa Kiefer:Efficiency-Ashvin N.:I wouldn't even say if it's efficient. Right? In some cases, the way you implement a blockchain is less efficient. I mean it comes naturally. Rght? There are certain benefits to centralized decision making. Going back to Nadir's referee example, it's much more efficient for one single person to keep track of the score rather than having everybody keep track of the score. Right?Both in terms of memory and in terms of-Lisa Kiefer:Energy.Ashvin N.:Energy. Right, and that's another point we'll get to; but it's about are the cons associated with blockchain worth a decentralized decision making?Lisa Kiefer:Your organization, do you really honestly debate this?Nadir Akhtar:It's very easy to to bow down and worship something and not question its implications. The thing is that blockchain is unique. We recognize that it's unique. Blockchain is an interdisciplinary field. No other field mimics the way the blockchain works. You have to know from economics to computer science to cryptography in order to understand fully the implications of blockchain, but blockchain solves very specific problems in the world.There are aspects of blockchain that are more useful than other ones in certain situations. When you have a very specific problem, when you have this decentralized decision making, this trust issue between parties, that's when you want a blockchain because now you can have this immutable ledger that also comes to consensus in a way that doesn't rely on any single person. Instead, you trust this math in the protocol when you're making decisions when you're operating within the system.Lisa Kiefer:Can you give me a couple of every day examples that are going on right now that use the blockchain?Nadir Akhtar:Cryptocurrencies do come to mind.Lisa Kiefer:Define what that is.Nadir Akhtar:A cryptocurrency is a currency that's built off of economics, computer science, and cryptography. Economics in order to understand the behavior of every actor in the system; computer science in order to make sure that the information can be stored in an efficient manner, because keep in mind, because this is a distributed ledger, it's going to cost a lot of memory in order to handle all this information.We're storing hundreds of gigabytes all the way from 2009 on our computers in order to store the bitcoin blockchain, for example; and cryptography in order to maintain security and privacy for the people involved.So when you submit a transaction to the Bitcoin network, you don't send it to a single person who takes care of it. Instead you send it to thousands of people who all can act in your behalf to verify your transaction, but there's a certain voting process which is known as proof of work that decides who gets to actually decide what transactions go into the next block of the blockchain.Lisa Kiefer:It's kind of a competition between data nodes, like who can do this better and that's where all the energy use happens in the network. Correct?Nadir Akhtar:Precisely.Ashvin N.:It's faster and not necessarily better. I'm kind of looping back to your original question and I would like to make one small addition. Many people mistake that cryptocurrencies is like a financial network of some sort where you transact; but, especially as we've seen the industry mature a lot, it's not at all. I mean, all cryptocurrencies he mentioned it; that it's a system that uses economics, cryptography, and computer science to kind of, and a token to kind of achieve some purpose.I think it's an important distinction because there are cryptocurrencies that have a token associated with them and have a economic volume but they achieve completely different purposes. There's a supply chain one; there's a property deed one; there's one that tries to solve AI on a blockchain.There are all of these principles that's being developed and it's not necessarily just meant for financial network anymore even though it is one of the most prominent examples because it's the one that we've started off with. It's the one that's been tested the most often. It's the one that has the most underlying principles associated with it.But kind of looping back, we have cryptocurrencies, which is a tokenized network. And then we have supply chain is being tossed around a lot by these kind of big companies that want to get into blockchain. Then we also have some kind of medical records are getting interesting. Medical records, there's certain problems associated with that.Anywhere that you need, that you don't necessarily trust that the data either is going to be secure or the updates to the data aren't there. And once again, looping back to the general theme that you want decentralized control or decentralized decision making.In general, blockchain is being used to enforce accountability and reliability. Kind of like the fact that the data that you sent is kind of true and it's kind of secure. That's kind of where it's going. There are interesting applications being developed for the renewable energy credit market and then also in general, just overall accounting as being kind of revolutionized by blockchain.Lisa Kiefer:If you're just tuning in, you're listening to Method to the Madness, a biweekly public affairs show on KALX Berkeley, celebrating Bay Area innovators. Today I'm speaking with Ashwinee Panda and Nadir Akhtar, members of Blockchain at Berkeley. There's that kind of an irony with energy because it uses so much energy. And let's talk about data mining.Nadir Akhtar:The fascinating thing about Satoshi Nakamoto's innovation when it came to Bitcoin and the first blockchain was that he changed the way that a voting system works in a distributed network. Distributed systems are something we've known about for decades. Research has been done for the last 30 years about how to make distributed systems secure and efficient where a distributed system is merely a bunch of computers trying to achieve the same goal as opposed to a single computer.The reason that this plays into Bitcoin is because every single person who's participating in this Bitcoin network is essentially their own computer, their own system, their own entity, and all of those people need to be able to coordinate with each other despite not knowing who each other are, despite not knowing how much resources another entity has, despite not knowing how much influence another entity has.In Bitcoin, you solve what's known as the double spend attack. The problem that prevented online decentralized voting, like voting on transactions in Bitcoin for example, was the civil attack where someone can at little cost to make another identity and use that extra identity in their own favor.So if I'm with 10 other people in this Bitcoin network and identities are easy and to make, I can't trust that one of these people isn't actually just belonging to someone else, that all 10 of these people aren't just the same person, in which case my votes as a single entity is being overruled by another single entity.In a distributed system, all entities should have equal voting power. Satoshi Nakamoto's innovation was to go from one identity, one vote to a one CPU, one vote system, meaning that instead of casting a vote because you have an identity associated with the network, you cast a vote by computing the answer to a puzzle.And this puzzle, you can't solve by hand; you can't guess the answer to. It's like a brute force puzzle, like solving a password. You just try as many inputs as possible until you finally find the output. And that's where mining comes in. Because you've restricted the voting process to machines, a person can't duplicate those the way that they can duplicate their online accounts or their online identities.And that is what prevents a person from voting more than they are allowed to because you tether their identity to the resources instead of to their online entity.Lisa Kiefer:So all these machines are grinding out this competition and that's the mining?Nadir Akhtar:Precisely. That's good.Lisa Kiefer:And that uses a lot of energy obviously.Nadir Akhtar:Mm-hmm.Ashvin N.:I would like to point out that there are alternatives. I mean, the cryptocurrency and the blockchain space in general has known that this is a problem. We've known it for a while, especially with the widespread adoption we're seeing now. We see it as a very big problem and it's gotten to the point where it's no longer decentralized. Right?And one of the very big points in voting, like when we decide on what voting algorithm to use is how centralized is it? Because in this case, it's gone to the point that you can only mind by having specialized hardware. They're called ASICs, application specific integrated circuits. And if you don't have one of those, you're not going to be able to mind successfully. You won't beat out anybody else.So what's happened just to the nature of an evolving marketplace is that all the smaller players have been pushed out, and now we have these giant farms sitting in China and India. China, India, Iceland's a very good one because they use their temperature to keep the electricity costs low. So we have that and it's not really centralized anymore.So there are alternatives being developed that do consume less electricity or consume no electricity at all. The most popular one would be proof of stake where you basically say that you have to hold in reserve some of the coins that you associate to votes. So instead of one CPU, one vote, it's one coin, one vote. And if you act badly or you lie about it, then we slash your vote; we take away the coins that you've put down.There are alternatives being developed and it's a big thing that we noticed. I'm just saying that, especially in a lot of industrial applications, they're not using proof of work. Proof of work is considered by a lot of people to be kind of an antiquated system. It was good back when it started off, but because they-Lisa Kiefer:It used too much energy.Ashvin N.:It used too much energy. I mean, what was the last estimate? It used more energy than Iceland or something like that?Nadir Akhtar:Yeah, it's been insane about how much energy it is.Ashvin N.:It kind of ties into the greater problem or a greater trend in the blockchain industry is that we are becoming more and more concerned about our impact on the world. You see it with a lot of people who want to be ethical. A lot of knowledgeable people. We ourselves kind of do that on our part by trying to propagate like the correct knowledge and how to do things.Lisa Kiefer:Who else is looking at this from all sides?Nadir Akhtar:Blockchain at Berkeley is unique and that's one of the only neutral arbitrators of information, being an academic organization run by students and not by companies. There are other organizations like the MIT Bitcoin Club, U-Penn's Blockchain Club that are also doing this. To my knowledge, they're not as prominent in the general blockchain space.Lisa Kiefer:Let's talk about some other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum.Ashvin N.:Ethereum is unique in the fact that it has decentralized applications called depths. Basically, Bitcoin does have that, but it's to a much limited degree. It's a very, very limited degree. You can only concern financial transactions.Lisa Kiefer:It's like applications sitting above the blockchain.Ashvin N.:Yeah. In Bitcoin, the only thing you can append a financial transactions. You can only say that I'm moving money from this to this. However, in Ethereum, it's built in such a way that you can append much more than that and then you can append full on application changes. Right?Sorry if I get a little bit technical, but the state changes are recorded, right? I mean that's saying that there's one state right now and then let's change it up and then that state, and then you can do applications. There's a Minecraft application that was built on a Ethereum. Minecraft's a game. It's completely run on Ethereum. It's really quite interesting.But going back to other cryptocurrencies, bitcoin has an anonymity problem that's been widespread without. Rather than being truly anonymous, it's tied to a mask instead. That's the best way I can say it, that it's like everybody's wearing a mask.Everybody still knows that there's a specific person associated with the mask. They just don't know who's behind the mask. And that's kind of the definition of pseudo anonymous. But there are other applications. Monero, Zcash, that try to make things truly anonymous so you can't trace any type of transaction amount or in between the participants, except for the participants.And then there are other things. There are all these new alt coins coming out that try to solve other problems. For a long time, there has been a problem with AI and blockchain because those are the two sort of big buzz words going on. So, let's do AI on blockchain. There are a lot of cryptocurrencies that try to solve AI on blockchain.Lisa Kiefer:What would that mean to use AI on the blockchain?Nadir Akhtar:AI and blockchain serve two different purposes. The issue is whether or not using one can facilitate the accomplishments of the other. AI is in data analysis and processing and blockchain is in data storage and agreement. Let's say that it's 2200 and I want to make a supreme overlord that is an AI, something that is making decisions for all humans.But I don't want to put this decision making power in the hands of any single computer. So I create an AI that lives on top of a blockchain. So on one hand, you have what looks like just a single entity that's running this AI; but in actuality, it's a blockchain network. And every update to this blockchain is an updates to either the AI's model, so to say, its decision making strategies or an update to the actual decisions, the computation that the AI has done.Lisa Kiefer:Could it keep the AI ethical?Nadir Akhtar:Well, that's all in the hands of the people who run the end points, who control the blockchain notes.Ashvin N.:A lot of people say that blockchain will eliminate the middle layer or increase trust or make sure that we all can live in harmony; and the reality is it's just as susceptible to corruption or anything like that as other people.Lisa Kiefer:I thought it has never up to today, it has not been corrupted.Nadir Akhtar:It's never been corrupted in that the math and protocol behind blockchain is secure. The difference is that if you don't trust the end points when you're dealing with things like supply chain, then in that sense you can corrupt the blockchain.A blockchain doesn't facilitate the transfer of information from the real world to the virtual world. It doesn't stand behind some person who's inputting data into a computer, but what it does is ensure that it's much easier in this virtual landscape to keep information accurate and uncorrupted once it's been inserted into the blockchain.Ashvin N.:And then I think it's important to realize that it's not really developed yet. We had the Ethereum, the Dow hack of 2016 that resulted in over... I forgot the exact amount. A certain amount lost. We had the Japanese exchange that was hacked a week ago.It really comes down to the fact that blockchain allows for a secure or efficient way to distribute and decide about information, but whether that information is correct or not, or whether you can control the voters, that's completely up to kind of whoever's in the system. It's unique in the fact that the voters don't have to trust each other, but there's also problems associated with the network as a whole.Lisa Kiefer:Right now, if you're on Facebook or Amazon or Google, my life's history, if I use those monoliths, if they have it, they use it, they make money on it. Will blockchain enable people to monetize their private data, get paid for our personal data via blockchain? Is that a possibility?Nadir Akhtar:There's a lot of research going into this. It's tricky to say, for the reason that I haven't seen anyone yet successfully do it; or if they've done it, it's too early to tell whether it be successful. Traditionally, Facebook stores your password, stores your email address, stores all the information.With blockchain, you're responsible for holding on to that information yourself. It takes the burden off of a central organization and puts it on the user. The issue is that if the user isn't securing their own information correctly, it's just as vulnerable, if not worse. Right? We sort of enter a social contract when we go with these big companies because they handle a lot of stuff in exchange for a lot of free stuff.Lisa Kiefer:So I would get value for my data, but I would also have to really manage it and make sure no one steals it, and how many people know how to do that? The regular layperson.Ashvin N.:Right. It comes to problem when you see people... If you ever browse certain support forums, they'll say, "I lost my pass- or private key in this case. How do I get my money back?" Or our one thing is that we've seen due to adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, we've seen a big jump in hackers and there are certain security protocols.When somebody posts that, "Hey, I got hacked." And at that point, there's nobody to blame. I wouldn't say nobody to blame but yourself; nobody can help you. There's research being done in, about account recovery and so forth. But at this point, like I said, there's no organization that's going to hold your hand and say, "It's OK, let me refund you."Lisa Kiefer:Is this where a regulatory body comes in or some sort of a governmental controls?Nadir Akhtar:That's the very funny thing about blockchain. When you say we want to put regulations on this deregulated network, there's always this conflict between putting the trust on the end points, the users, letting them make their own decisions freely or having some centralized or central-ish entity that makes decisions on behalf of all of the users.There was this one project, it was an ICO or initial coin offering known as Tezos. What Tezos wanted to do was put governance on the blockchain. When Bitcoin and Ethereum undergo changes, it's an informal process; sort of like an ad hoc group of people who know what's going on, who say, "Yes, I think we should do this. Yes, I think we should increase the block size," for example, to allow for more transactions per second. "Yes, I think we should change the way that we read information in a block or whatever it may be."Typically we say, we go on to some forum online, make a post about what we want to change and everyone says, "All right, I'm going to update my software at this point." What Tezos wanted to do was make rules about the rules. In other words, you vote within the blockchain about what the rules are governing, that voting process and the blockchain instead of having to do it outside of the scope of the technology itself.Lisa Kiefer:How did that work out?Nadir Akhtar:It's funny. Tezos has actually been sued twice. In summary, Tezos was not actually producing what they said they would be producing. They said, "Here's our plans for the future, here's our expectations, here's how much funding we need," and people paid them because it did sound like a good project.There's a lot of problems that can be solved with the solutions that Tezos was proposing. The issue is that once the developers have millions of dollars in their hand, they don't really want to work.Ashvin N.:So going back to Tezos, right? It's still doesn't solve the issue we're talking about. It's a big problem we see in ICOs because there's whales coming in with massive amount of money and then they'll manipulate the market. Nobody's going to control them. Nobody can control them because it's a decentralized network and then even in Tezos, even if you have to do Tezos, you have to get the entire community or majority of the community to agree that this person's bad and then they can always subvert the system by creating another identity.Just because of the nature of blockchain, it's very, very hard to introduce any kind of regular oversight. The only way that governments have successfully been able to do it is that these end points that we keep talking about, like where you get into this space where you buy a coin or so forth, those can be regulated.The most prominent ones, if the view is neo coin base is where you buy it though Coinbase has succeeded to federal oversight on multiple times and they have started giving it over records and so forth. It goes back to the fact that blockchain itself isn't inherently suspect free or anything.All it does is that it makes sure that the system itself, there's a... I guess the best word would be error free and then however the users act, that's up to the users.Lisa Kiefer:Tt sounds like there's a lot of challenges; but do you think in the long run, blockchain is going to be a standard and if so, how many years are we talking about?Nadir Akhtar:I don't want to replace every single database with a blockchain for the reason that I wouldn't replace every single mode of transportation with an airplane. Airplanes are very good at doing some things, like transporting passengers quickly and boats are very good at transporting large amounts of cargo. Each one serves its own purpose.Similarly, blockchains, they serve their own specific purpose just as centralized databases do, just as a distributed but fault free or nonpublic systems do as well. I think blockchains could be a standard when it comes to eliminating third parties. I do believe that.The only reason that we haven't done it yet is because we just didn't have the capability to remove the human execution error that we have dealt with for the past few thousand years as a species. Once we have enough research done to where we can make secure regulatory bodies through a blockchain, I do think that they will be the standard for the middle layer of trust that we have put in these third parties.Ashvin N.:You'll never actually know that a blockchain exists behind your application and you never should. Blockchain, for better or for worse, is very much a back end technology, for those familiar with computer science terms. It's the way to make a database more resistant and more secure, but you'll never know it. Will blockchain become a standard? No, not necessarily.One concern that I personally have is that I have yet to see a good use case other than a financial network. One that's fully developed out or so forth, and then governments will never want their money to be on a blockchain.Bitcoin, for better or for worse, is a financial network that does really well. Ethereum is a distributed computer, but there are certain problems with their end that have yet to be addressed. People are jumping on the hype and saying blockchain will rule the world. No, it won't. We really won't.Blockchain at best will improve the efficiency and security of several already existing applications and that'll be a go. But once again, blockchain is not meant for the end user to directly interact. They'll interact with an application and then the database, the application associated with it, will be a blockchain.All you hear about Bitcoin is one of two things. "Hey, it's super volatile. I made 10x money." Or that you heard that, "Hey, somebody got hacked." I mean, there's been a very big negative stigma and that's been a limiting factor for company adoption and also people are doing it.Chase has been in the market. JP Morgan has been in the blockchain one for almost two years now. They had developed their own private blockchain. IBM-Lisa Kiefer:Do these blockchains communicate with each other? Can they?Nadir Akhtar:They can.Ashvin N.:There's two separate you can do it. You can either do it with a main chain and associated side chains or you can have completely separate chains that interact with each other. IBM sponsors a research group slash set of products called hyperledger and they're all meant to interact with each other. So interesting capabilities there.Companies are slowly adopting it. Currently, there's a bad stigma associated with it. A lot of lack of talent is another big thing that companies-Lisa Kiefer:Oh, interesting.Ashvin N.:Yeah, companies are hiring up. If you want to get money real quick, if you want to get a good six figure salary, become a blockchain dev. There are tons of resources available, including our own dev courses that we kind of provide.Lisa Kiefer:Tell me what your organization offers the community both on the campus and outside of Berkeley.Nadir Akhtar:We have three main departments, each of which has their own vision and mission. We have education, which as the name implies is focused on teaching people, but not just students; entire communities, companies, anyone who is dealing with blockchain, we want to educate. We have two courses that we teach on the UC Berkeley campus. You actually can take the course online this coming May when it's going to be released on edX. It will be the first blockchain crypto course fully on edX.We actually are developing certifications for different parts of the blockchain space. We have certificates for blockchain fundamentals, for blockchain developers, for blockchain consultants or researchers, and these certificates are tests of knowledge similar to the SAT. It's a standardized test that says whether or not you have the aptitude to understand some aspect of blockchain.This certificate I mentioned related with edX is a certificate of completion saying that yes, you have actually gone through this online course as opposed to just going through a bunch of YouTube videos and now claiming to be an expert. We have the consulting branch, which does work with companies and trains internal members, devs, and consultants.The consulting branch has worked with Airbus, Qualcomm, BMW, and going to be working with more of this coming semester to build real projects that are used by these companies. We've also worked a lot on internal projects. This one pharmaceutical problem, a supply chain, the U.S. passed a bill saying that by 2022, 23, all pharmaceuticals, the entire supply chain needs to be recorded and tracked in an immutable, auditable way. Right?Naturally, blockchain lends itself easily to that, which is another project we worked on internally.Ashvin N.:Then the third department is research. Research and development, R and D. These work on solving several fundamental questions and issues that are still prevalent in the research space. We are currently partnering with the Kyber Network, which is a distributed exchange and also that we're working with Ethereum foundation to start working on some of the scalability issues.We try to be an all in one company and we try to do everything at once; and so we provide education to our members, both to the public in general and to companies as well. We kind of develop software and developed products and then we also do research. We do have events for all levels, all ranges of knowledge; from beginner all the way to end and then if you do want to jump into the deep end, it's not hard. We do have our previous courses available on an archive so you can just go and look through those.Nadir Akhtar:You can actually audit our courses here at Berkeley for free. Conveniently for those who have work, there is the blockchain fundamentals course on Saturdays 2:00 to 4:00PM that I and others are teaching, from Blockchain in Berkeley. We have the blockchain for developers course as well. If you're interested in those events, that education hosts, just go to blockchain dot berkeley dot e-d-u; and check out the education tab.Lisa Kiefer:And you can find out about all this stuff you just talked about. Thank you for coming in.Nadir Akhtar:My pleasure.Lisa Kiefer:You've been listening to Method to the Madness, a biweekly public affairs show on KALX Berkeley, celebrating Bay Area innovators. You can find all of our podcasts on iTunes University. We'll see you in two weeks. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
