Are We There Yet? | What Starts Here Changes the World with Alan Orwick from Quai Network

Recorded at Quai’s studio at their HQ in Austin Texas. Host Chris Eberle is joined by Alan Orwick, CEO and Founder of Dominant Strategies, building the Quai Network. Quai Network is a Layer 1 Blockchain that optimizes for performance without sacrificing the core principles of blockchain technology.

 

Chris and Alan discuss the origins of Quai at the University of Texas at Austin, Alan’s role in starting UT’s Blockchain Club back in the day, and his continued support of UT students and innovation in Austin. 

 

They break down Quai’s alignment with Bitcoin and the origins of crypto, and the team’s focus on driving everyday usage of crypto. Quai has what Alan refers to as “Last Mover’s Advantage” building their blockchain upon the learnings of the builders who came before them. 

 

Getting back to the core of crypto, and leaning into “web2.5” experiences where users have easy interfaces to experiment and crypto is there under the hood, Quai is building towards their mainnet release later this year. Listen in to learn all about what they’re building and how to get involved.
