We speak with Stuart Popejoy co-founder from Kadena. This was a really great technical conversation around the hybrid public-private blockchain that Kadena is building with their Chainweb platform and LISP inspired smart contract language Pact. We cover how traditional finance firms incorporate new technologies into their workflow, real world use cases of Kadena, and what\\u2019s happening in the Enterprise. We also get into the technical details of Chainweb\\u2019s Proof-of-Work consensus system and the importance of writing safe code, which is an underpinning of the Pact language.
