Allen Piscitello, VP Product of Blockstream joins me to talk about Blockstream Liquid as a new model for inter exchange settlement, and the possibility of building out new financial infrastructure in a way different from the legacy financial system. We talk:

  • Tradeoffs and differences between approaches of Lightning, Statechains, and Liquid
  • How pegging Bitcoin in and out of Liquid works
  • Features that Liquid’s blockchain has e.g. Confidential Transactions and Confidential Assets
  • How Liquid can enable much faster inter exchange settlement with different tradeoffs
  • How to get started developing on it
  • What the future of bitcoin market structure could look like with Liquid adoption
