Startup Funding Espresso – How To View the Blockchain World

How To View the Blockchain World Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Blockchain brings a new technical paradigm to the internet. Here are the key players and components of the blockchain world Asset holders -- they acquire tokens, coins, and NFTs that represent value. This includes exchanges, wallets, banks, funds and lenders. Protocols -- these are computer protocols that manage the exchange of information and value. This includes using coins as a store of value, or tokens to gain access to an asset, or NFTs as collectibles. Smart contracts execute the transactions within the protocol. Exchanges -- marketplaces for trading digital assets. This includes traditional exchanges with a gatekeeper managing the process as well as decentralized exchanges with no intermediaries. Chains -- these are databases which store the transactions. Network effects impact the usefulness of chains. The more users on the chain, the more users will want to engage it. Miners -- they run algorithms to ensure the information across the distributed nodes remains accurate and consistent. Application software -- these are the applications that provide the user specific services such as a social network, managing real estate assets, or tracking insurance coverage.
