Stop Optimizing Blockchains In this episode of Deeply Intents (🎙️, 🎧), I chat with @spjoleh founder and CEO @deltadotnetwork. This is an amazing conversation that touches on blockchain architecture, design philosophy, and product strategy. [sponsored by @anoma] In this episode we discuss: - verifiability - shared state - delta and its domains - byzantine eventual consistency - scalability - product Timestamps 0:00 - From Math to Delta 2:33 - Category Theory 4:56 - Finding blockchain 9:04 - Levels to B.S. 11:20 - Verifiability and shared state 16:50 - Reducing friction with verifiability 21:08 - Shared state and compossability 27:30 - Delta architecture 32:38 - State diff lists 35:13 - Integrability 41:09 - Domains, network effects, and trust 49:01 - Byzantine eventual consistency 53:34 - Design philosophy 1:01:20 - Scalability is oversold 1:05:07 - Approach to product 1:09:05 - GTM products 1:13:46 - Credible neutrality 1:20:37 - Context switching 1:22:51 - Crypto dogma 1:29:26 - User feedback

Pt. II: Blockchains are not computers. We are limiting ourselves by treating them as such We should be able to add verifiability and shared state to any app (especially simple ones like the one from Pt. I) Here's how⬇️
