7:10-7:50PM
Blockchain Data Growth, State Rent & the Nervos Approach
As the blockchain supports more users, the operating cost of a node grows, less nodes are run, and security is reduced. This is the classic ‘tragedy of the commons’: benefits to individuals reduce benefits to all. In this topic, we will discuss the problems caused by an ever-growing blockchain, currently proposed solutions in ETH 1.x and how this challenge addressed in Nervos.
7:10-7:30pm Blockchain Data Growth & State Rent
Speaker: Matt Quinn
Matt has run blockchain educational meetups for the last 2+ years. As one of the founders of the Starfish community, he is focused on supporting people and open-source projects with informative blockchain events, outreach and writing.

The event is co-hosted by:
Nervos Network
Nervos is building infrastructure for the decentralized economy with a layered architecture. The layer 1 protocol of the Nervos Network is the Common Knowledge Base (CKB), an open, public and Proof of Work based blockchain. The CKB provides store of assets and value, and serves as anchor of trust for layer 2s with unlimited scalability.
ABC Blockchain Community
ABC was founded by a group of Google engineers and soon evolved into a technical community for engineers, researchers, investors, entrepreneurs, and other blockchain enthusiasts to collaborate on blockchain technology advancement.
