  • S2E9: Building Web3's Answer To AWS w/ Jonathan Schemoul of Aleph.im

    Cloud computing has been instrumental in scaling and deploying ever more complex applications, and allowing them to be accessed anywhere in the world.

    Jonathan Schemoul is the CEO and founder of Aleph, a cross-blockchain layer-2 network specifically focused on decentralized applications and their related infrastructure (storage, computing servers, security). Their aim is to decentralize and revolutionize the web and the cloud as we know it.
