Etherium is a chain that can do anything that any application specific chain could do. But the interesting thing to me is that now all the block chains that are like coming after etherium, there are actually some of those, like application specific ones as well. And i have actually seen a bit of our reaction back to this like domain specific model of block chains because the general ones have scale ability problems.
In this episode, we dig into what the term smart contract means with our guest James Prestwich. First introduced in 1994 by Nick Szabo, smart contracts have inspired whole ecosystems of companies and projects to start thinking about blockchain in much bigger terms.
We explore what the term 'smart contract' means, where it comes from, some use cases and some of the new challenges that come along with it.
