Episode #17: Blockchain’s Backbone – Nodes & More with Eugene Aseev, CTO and Founder of Chainstack
In this episode of Social Block, we’re putting the spotlight on the guardians of blockchain infrastructure, namely nodes. From there, this session also touches on what our host Magy likes to call “the spectrum of decentralization.” Meanwhile, our guest, Eugene Asseev, the Founder and CTO of Chainstack, the Web3 development stack designed for building scalable applications, shares why he thinks blockchain should become… well, boring.
Here’s what Eugene and Magy talked about:
🏗️ The place and importance of infrastructure providers in the blockchain space.
🗝️ Nodes. What are they & what is the difference between full, archive & other types of nodes?
⚖️ Is usability a trade-off of decentralization?
🤦♀️ Magy’s latest ChatGPT blunders.
🐶 Why we – the people in the industry – need to start dogfooding crypto and blockchain.
