Messari’s Unqualified Opinions
Technology
Gone are the days when a blockchain network could launch quietly, coordinated over an online forum by an anonymous developer or when a small number of technically minded people could participate in a low-profile token sale. While the early days of Bitcoin and Ethereum came with their own inherent challenges, the high profile network launches of today come with a new set of concerns. How do you gain developer mindshare? How do proof-of-stake networks grapple with the threat of exchanges centralizing staking? What’s the best way to handle token distributions in today's investor driven landscape?
In this conversation, Ryan and Algorand CEO, Steve Kokinos discuss what it’s like to be at the helm of a newly launched smart contracting platform in 2020.
