The latest CopperCasts episode welcomes Hugo Philion, CEO and co-founder of Flare Network.
Launched back in 2017, Flare is the first Federated Byzantine Agreement network that runs smart contracts.
In this Show & Tell, Hugo describes that the DeFi summer of 2020 involved only about 35% of the crypto world, and that most of the value in crypto lies in non-Turing complete assets such as Bitcoin, Ripple, Stellar, Litecoin.
He goes on to explain that Flare's smart contract functionality can be integrated with these assets, which make up about 65% of the value of public blockchains. With smart contract capabilities, more assets can enter the exciting world of NFTs and all of the future developments that smart contracts bring.
To dig deeper and really understand what makes Flare tick (and whatever a Federated Byzantine Agreement network is), make sure to check out Hugo’s conversation with CopperCasts host Tyler. The two discuss the origin and evolution of the Flare Network project, the wider crypto landscape, and the future of the space.
