Blockstack: Design and implementation of a new Internet where users don’t need to trust remote servers. We remove any trust points from the middle of the network and use blockchains to secure critical data bindings. Blockstack implements services for identity, discovery, and storage and can survive failures of underlying blockchains. Blockstackgives comparable performance to traditional internet services and enables a much-needed security and reliability upgrade to the traditional internet.
Speaker: Jude Nelson has been an engineering partner at Blockstack since 2015, where he migrated the system from Namecoin to Bitcoin and implemented Blockstack’s peer-to-peer network. Before, he was a PhD student at Princeton University where he worked on PlanetLab and studied wide-area distributed storage systems.
