Fireside Chat - Brendan Blumer @ TOKEN2049
Join us for an insightful fireside chat with Brendan Blumer, CEO of Block.one, recorded live at TOKEN2049. In this engaging session, Brendan shares groundbreaking updates and strategic insights that are shaping the blockchain ecosystem.
Kicking off the conversation, Brendan announces the latest partnership in their EOS VC program—a $1 billion initiative designed to empower innovation by funding projects that build on EOS blockchain technology. New partners like Germany's Finnlab AG are set to contribute significantly to the EOS ecosystem by providing startups with both investment and infrastructure guidance to facilitate sustainable growth.
Exploring broader themes, Brendan offers a macro perspective on blockchain's transformative role in secure data transfer and challenges existing notions of internet-based business models. He highlights the shift from traditional intermediaries to more community-driven, decentralized structures, which promise more efficient business models and better value distribution among end-users rather than shareholders.
The conversation continues with a deep dive into the roadblocks of current blockchain systems, such as scalability and governance, and how EOS is addressing these issues with cutting-edge solutions like its Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) system. Brendan emphasizes the importance of efficient transaction processing for future blockchain applications, aiming for millions of transactions per second with minimal costs.
In the closing segments, they discuss the future landscape of blockchain, predicting a paradigm shift where decentralized systems will underpin robust economic models, replacing current systems and granting users increased economic participation.
