• Cofounder/CTO at Fission

• https://fission.codes

• PLT & VMs

• Previously an Ethereum Core Dev

• EIPs 615, 902, 1066, 1444

• ECIP 1050

• Now spending a lot of time with IPFS & DIDs

• Lots of R&D (but still have to deal with segfaults, &c)

• Be as fringe as this track gets 😛🤭

• Expose you to a lot of ideas in broad strokes

• Nothing that’s science fiction!

• A peek at what's coming in the next 2-5 years

• Go from zero to production on a plane ✈

• Move data to compute and vice versa 🔄

• Scale linearly 📈

• Serve areas that lack sufficient cloud hardware 🖥

• Anyone can be a service provider (lower bar to entry) 💁/

Lots of people work on it, everybody benefits from it, people can build upon it (even in a revenue generating fashion),

and it’s “owned” by everyone.

By participating — even with competitive goals — you are cooperating by serving the content and running compute of others.
