Evaluating the benefits and drawbacks of different choices
Understanding the concept of opportunity cost
Ethereum is the platform upon which Dapps are developed. The inception of Dapps (and in turn Erc20 tokens) has birthed a new economy. But with its First-Mover advantage comes a few serious challenges. With a 465% increase in average transaction price between November 28 and December 12, this specific stretch of time was a definitive moment for the world of Blockchain.

The aim for Ethereum is to scale to thousands of transactions per second in the near future, On-Chain, without master nodes or any other conditions that would hinder its Decentralisation. Sharding is essentially creating a new “world” and many more, without it affecting the Main-Chain. Instead of ea...

Plasma pairs smart contracts on the main Blockchain by using fraud Proofs. This technique gives full nodes the ability to De-Validate a faulty chain. This protects the integrity of the main chain. Much like the Raiden network, plasma is a second layer built on top of Ethereum’s core. Vitalik believe...

Scalability is a Blockchain’s ability to accommodate as many users as possible on the chain while still retaining low transaction fees and fast consensus. Ethereum and Bitcoin’s Scalability issues stem from their Now-Inefficient consensus protocols. This inefficiency Percolates down to a few major d...

New platforms make developer’s lives easier with functional programming languages, smart contract audits, and Easy-To-Deploy, Customisable Blockchains. The end goal in my opinion is for the end user to not even know they’re using a Blockchain. Blockchain that is easy for developers and user friendly...

Ethereum ’ s main deficiency is its protocol. Ether is mined using proof of work (POW) — the same protocol used by Bitcoin. With Pos, computers compete to solve mathematical formulas and win the right to confirm transactions into the Blockchain. The two major drawbacks to the POW protocol is the dan...

The Raiden network is an open source project that aims to serve as an Off-Chain network that facilitates transfers of Ethereum ERC 20 tokens. It Utilises state channel technology, enabling Off-Chain transfers of On-Chain tokens. The transfer itself is immune to double spending, making it as safe as ...

Supply chain integration allows for rapid and improved Commerce. But there are serious hurdles for Blockchains (let alone a single one) to overcome. Do you think that China and Switzerland will have the same standards for a Blockchain that they both support and approve? do you think that China an...
