The Long Arm of Theoretical Computer Science: The Case of Blockchains/Web3

Описание к видео The Long Arm of Theoretical Computer Science: The Case of Blockchains/Web3

Tim Roughgarden (Columbia University)
Simons Institute 10th Anniversary Symposium

Prasad Raghavendra writes, "Tim Roughgarden spoke about blockchains, but it was really a master class on what a theorist brings to understanding a technology like blockchains. Tim cut through mountains of technicalities about blockchains and gave a succinct, yet comprehensive description of what blockchains essentially are. Paraphrasing Tim here, blockchains are a general-purpose public computer in the sky, with no owner or operator. While anyone can run programs on this computer in the sky, it supports user-owned data and verifies ownership on this data."
