In this two-day workshop, the most respected thought leaders in the field led a discussion on how and when state channels could be implemented, identifying problems and proposing potential solutions to help take it to the next stage.
Master Workshop: Layer 1 Solutions
Amsterdam, 17-18 November, 2018
‘Master Workshop: Layer 1 solutions’ brought together leading experts for an in-depth examination of Layer 1 scaling solutions for cryptocurrencies. They discussed delegated proof of stake (DPOS), key aggregation, two-tiered network systems, and many other new consensus & blockchain protocols that were being explored to solve the TPS bottleneck. Leaving hype, hubris and hysterical marketing claims at the door, this event was a unique chance for researchers to introduce their findings.
