2. Who am I?
Sunny Aggarwal
Researcher with Tendermint
Particular interests in Proof of Stake
and Blockchain Interoperability
Co-founder of Blockchain at Berkeley
Previously worked at ConsenSys
Teach a class at Berkeley on
Switzerland
7. Tendermint Consensus
Consistent Proof of Stake BFT Consensus Algorithm
Can be used for both Public & Private Chains
Instant Finality
Highly Scalable
Guarantees safety in asynchronous & liveness in weakly
synchronous environments
Basis for other Proof of Stake systems like Casper
22. Application-Specific Chains
Turing-Complete VMs are great
for prototyping and some use
cases
Most production DApps doesn’t
need to be on a Turing complete
chain
Flexibility can be achieved
through governance
