Hey, everyone. I'm excited to share with you my conversation with Tommy Rostami
, the founder of Energi. Energyi is an EVM compatible L1 protocol built with security at its core. It uses a security mechanism called Defense in Depth and has managed to remain hack free over the last three years. They've recently recorded over 1 million in stolen user funds that have been mitigated through their Energy Bureau of Investigations.
Energy is to Etherium what Kusama is to Polkadot. It's a great place to deploy code and test smart contracts in the open without widespread risk of bugs and hacks. This conversation digs into blockchain security, the importance of decentralization and the mission of Energiand so much more.
