Blockchain technology is still in its early days and has a long way to develop in order to be adopted on a wide scale by industry.  Today we present an interview with Ben Jessel from Kadena who are trying to help with that.  Kadena has built PACT, which is a programming language for smart contracts that is more easily human-readable than other languages out there, as well as a "Chainweb" which is an approach to increasing the throughput of blockchains while maintaining a proof-of-work consensus algorithm.
