One of the key scalability challenges with public cryptocurrency blockchains is that their size grows linearly with the number of transactions. Mature blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum contain 170GB and 1 TB of historical data respectively. New nodes joining these chains need to download this data and verify it in order to become a ""full node"". The number of full nodes is a key measure of decentralization, and difficulty becoming a full node translates into future centralization.
In this episode, we are joined by the duo of Evan Shapiro and Izaak Meckler, CEO and CTO at O(1) Labs respectively. O(1) labs is a pioneering company that uses zkSNARK technology in order to construct a cryptocurrency blockchain, called Coda, that solves the blockchain size scalability bottleneck. New nodes joining the Coda network will be able to trustlessly boot up in under a minute by verifying cryptographic proofs that attest to the validity of the current chain. This technology has great potential to enable decentralization, and for one blockchain to be a light client of another blockchain.
Topics discussed in this episode:
– Scalability challenges of current cryptocurrencies
– Background on O(1) labs and their mission statement
– How Coda uses succinct computational integrity technology (zkSNARKs) to enable further decentralization of blockchains
– Snarky – a domain specific language for zkSNARK computations
– Current state of Coda and roadmap

Today I received tokens from DENT airdrop ethereum-airdrops.pro/airdrop-free/DENT I will store coins till 2019) I hope for a great growth!
buahahaa what a fluff
ZILLIQA is one of the best cryptocurrencies of this year! And they also have a liberal airdrop myairdrop.ru/official-airdrop-zil
Yeah, I agree with you mate Zilliqa is not only Popular in a single country while worldwide. On the Other hand, Kakushin ICO getting new height in the Crypto market.
Yes, Kakushin ICO is one of the trending ICOs of the month. Even I have invested in Kakushin and getting a lot of profit from it.
No doubt buddy! Even I had no clue about Kakushin 3 days ago, but the moment I got to know what Kakushin is and what they’re trying to do, I can now say it’s one of the potential ICOs of this time and one should defintely consider going for it.
@Big Money not only Zilliqa but other coins too are very popular like @makjak jhonson said kakushin is on new height in market, hope soon it may hit the market as it is more transparent and easily viable
Do you store DENT tokens? In that case you have to grasp this information promotokens.site/information/DENT
Did all of you manage to participate in DENT airdrop? This morning I received tokens from http://www.ethereum-airdrops.site/free-coins/dent
The best coin this year is DENT. The excellent idea is implemented in it. It will grow by 10 times this year! They are going to arrange free distribution of coins this summer by http://www.ethereum-airdrops.site/DENT-token/go-airdrop
http://www.eth-airdrops.site/official/DENT What do you say about free distribution of DENT tokens? As for me this is a perspective coin)
Help with advice concerning (OCN) ODYSSEY. Yesterday I received tokens from airdrop http://www.airdropnews.org/odyssey-ocn/freetokens To whom it is possible to sell them? Or it would be better to register at the exchange?
Did all of you manage to take part in ZILLIQA airdrop? It is really possible to increase the number of your tokens on freetokens.site/free-zil
Great Information, Although you should consider Kakushin ICO, a great Blockchain Project dedicated to creating an Innovation Friendly ecosystem, an hyperledger Intellectual Property Blockchain which will provide transparency and security to the Patents and Innovators, Indeed a Great Concept, Everyone should Consider this.
Why they are not interviewing CEO of #kakushinecosystem ?
