Hashing It Out #48 - MakerDAO pt. 2 - Nik Kunkel

MakerDAO has built a token that is reasonably stable with the USD. We have the great pleasure of interviewing Nik Kunkel, Head of Backend Services at Maker. In this Part 2 of 2 on Maker, we talk about the technical design behind developing Maker. Please listen to Part 1 of 2 (previous episode, #47) before this, as it's essential for understanding the principles guiding the design decisions. This is compelling work, and truly amazing how well it's standing against the throes of the fluctuating markets.

Hashing It Out #46 - Ren - Loong Wang

We have CTO of Ren, Loong Wang, on to educate us on their token transfer protocol. Ren is building a system that allows a user to transfer a token from one change to another, without the drawbacks found in techniques like atomic swaps. They have a network of "dark nodes" which run on their virtual machine, RenVM, to computer across the transactions and share data over the network. Interesting technology with many use cases!
