Kadena’s combination of “revolutionary, braided multi-chain architecture” and powerful, readable smart-contract language for writing applications directly on the blockchain make it the only sharded and scalable proof-of-work network in production today. In other words, according to co-founder and CEO Stuart Popejoy, Kadena is the only PoW platform capable of scaling to settle the more than 9 million trades executed on the New York Stock Exchange each day. And its consensus mechanism maintains the security and integrity that characterizes Bitcoin. Popejoy talks with Real Vision’s Ash Bennington about changing the way people interact and transact – and making blockchain work for business at speed and scale in an energy-efficient way.
