Nick Emmons - UpShot: The Protocol To Rule Them All - Zima Red ep 53

Mar 31, 2021

My guest today is Nick Emmons. Nick is the founder of the question and answer protocol UpShot.

UpShot incentivizes people to answer subjective questions. The implications of a product like this are incredibly profound.

UpShot can be used to receive answers on NFT valuations, determine if a piece of news is fake and even help solve issues around decentralized governance. The applications for this type of protocol are literally endless.

It was incredible to speak with Nick because he is not only extremely intelligent but looks at solving problems in novel ways. This becomes very apparent throughout the episode as we discuss UpShot and the elegant architecture that he has created.

This was an exciting conversation that just scratches the surface of total design space for this type of protocol.

Please enjoy my conversation with Nick Emmons.
