Today we are peeling back blockchain's "layer 2" with Kevin Wang of Nervos Network. It is the way our beloved crypto networks will try to tackle the throughput problem, until blockchain can reach the same speeds as the Visa Network some day. Researcher and co-founder of Nervos, Kevin Wang takes us on a ride into the future. We learn about State channels and side chains. We also take a look at security, decentralization and performance tradeoffs when creating and scaling a blockchain. We also take a look at tradeoffs between block size, block times, etc. We cover lots of info about miners and securing the network, and the game theory behind mining. This episode got a lot more technical than most of our episodes, but it will be something fresh for everyone to listen to and learn about.
