October 24, 2019Vitalik Buterin: ETH 2.0 Driven by Simplified Sharding, Optimistic Rollups and Native Cross Shard Communications
Host Tom Shaughnessy of Delphi Digital (DelphiDigital.io) is joined by Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum to discuss his recent post titled: Eth2 shard chain simplification proposal. On this episode we discuss Vitalik's view on how simplified sharding, and optimistic rollups could drive 100k transactions per second in one year. We also discuss the benefits of native cross shard communication that is enabled by this new scheme. This was a very informative episode, and I think Vitalik for hopping on the podcast on such short notice, literally minutes after I read this post. In my personal opinion it's a pivotal time for Ethereum between ETH 2.0 gaining momentum, optimistic rollups and native cross shard communications.

September 03, 2019SKALE’s Jack O’Holleran: Elastic Sidechains Enabling Massive Scale for dApps On Ethereum
Host Tom Shaughnessy of Delphi Digital (DelphiDigital.io) is joined by Jack O'Holleran, the co-founder and CEO of SKALE.
On this episode we dive into how SKALE's elastic sidechains can enable massively scalable decentralized applications.

SKALE's tech can be deployed with only a few lines of code, elastic sidechains are highly configurable and the system eliminates a lot of the complexity in scaling dApps.
