Behind the Blockchain Part I: Bridging Innovation and Implementation

At Input | Output, the innovation process serves as a bridge between theoretical research concepts and viable, implementable systems. This process encompasses assessing theoretical work, identifying practical challenges, iterating through prototypes and employing formal modeling to help validate proposed solutions and check their efficacy in real-world scenarios.
The development of the Ouroboros Peras protocol illustrates this process in action. In part I of this series of videos, learn how the IO research team worked in close collaboration with the innovation team to foster the swift identification and resolution of any issues that emerged during the prototyping phase for Peras, such as concerns about certificate size. Through iterative problem-solving, the team was able to refine the protocol, leading to improvements that enhanced its practicality and efficiency. This case demonstrates how the iterative process can effectively bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and their real-world application.
👉 Get the inside story of how Christian Badertscher, Director of Research Strategy and Planning, Nicolas Biri, Director of Software Architecture, Arnaud Bailly, Innovation Lead Architect, and Sandro Coretti-Drayton, Research Fellow, worked together to move Ouroboros Peras from the realm of research towards implementation.

Can wait for more content like this from IOG and other stakeholders.

Great video. Keep it coming!

[@MarcoMeerman]

I like these conversations

[@bobbysbits2575]

Great to see the minds in the back room. Would be good to decentralise the media representation IOG and some of the other teams on media outlets outside the ecosystem (Cointelegraph, Bankless, etc.)

This is such a nice talk, please make more of this!

18:28 is my favorite, where he talks about Ouroboros papers

Thanks. One comment: - I try to stay away from lavalier microphones. Please use "real" microphones. I don't think laviler are clear enough, even though they are well equalized. The theory is that it becomes tiring to pay extra attention to hear what people say. It is then more difficult to understand what is being talked about.
