BLOCKCHAINs are Broken THE Internet Is broken | Techsuite for the C-Suite #5 Cassandra Heart @cassie

TakeawaysBlockchain technology provides a way to guarantee truthfulness and maintain business processes.Privacy is a challenge in blockchain, but solutions like zero-knowledge proofs and random permutation matrices can address it.Scalability is a key challenge in blockchain adoption, and layer 2 solutions are being explored to improve it.Early ideas and projects in crypto laid the foundation for the current developments in the industry.The use of prediction markets and analytical privacy can enhance consensus and protect against front-running. Equilibrium uses a dependency graph to execute transactions in a deterministic way.The network verifies graphs and avoids infinite loops to ensure a finite and deterministic sequence of events.Equilibrium enables applications that follow a deterministic set of rules and require non-deterministic inputs as part of the execution.The network is resistant to censorship and provides a secure substrate for decentralized applications.The integration of gaming with blockchain is an emerging use case that shows promise.
