End of the Chain

Chainweb Built on Pact - Doug Beardsley - CTO of Kadena
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. We dig deep into what makes Kadena special and why it will separate itself from other projects in 2020.

What to listen for- Why Kadena is a complete layer 1 blockchain solution based on proof of work that solves the scalability issue.
- How Pact, their smart contract language was designed from the ground up to be a formally verified language for smart contract development.
- How they built Multi-Sig keyset governance into their blockchain with client operations in mind.
- Why their contract governance determines whether or not the smart contract is upgradeable and how this is readable on Kadena.
- Why ChainWeb solves the scalability issue through multiple chain block hashing.
- How Kadena’s ChainWeb distributes the hash power among chains using degree diameter graph theory to make all chains interconnected and therefore immune to 51% attacks.
- Why Kadena’s great company culture comes from having founders with both technical background and business experience.
- How hybrid blockchains as a form of middleware between private and public transactions and why there is huge potential for applications in this area.
- How the US government is a monopsony as the one employer in the Washington D.C. area which creates a more level salary scale and compresses inequality.
