First Principles: Research for the Future

CEO of Input Output Global Charles Hoskinson sits down with Chief Scientist Aggelos Kiayias for an in-depth discussion on the diversity of IOG’s research. In this special retrospective, Charles and Aggelos touch on some of the key moments from the last six years of development. From Cardano and beyond, IOG’s research is focused on building rock solid digital infrastructures for a changing world, built off of first principles. Conversations like this are a glimpse inside the minds behind some of the industry’s revolutionary endeavors.

More of this @IOHK this is the type of content that will be watched millions of times years from now.

[@DaniIhzaFarrosi]

The only protocol that cares about correctness and scientific research. 99% of other protocols can't do this because it's difficult and takes time

[@mateuszczeladka4095]

big time

[@mattverville9227]

I support everything you guys do. Great job

[@RAnselmoReis]

Probably one of my favourite videos, Cardano related. Congratulations, you guys are changing the world.

[@agnimosaics]

Just love these talks! So informative

[@dzyanw]

Started on the stack of Cardano info and papers, seriously impressive stuff, still lots of complex info for me to discover. Keep up the good work 💪🏼

[@rushiljain9423]

Any recommendations what I should read to best understand cardano?

Keep up the great work! WMT - Connect the unconnected then Cardano - bank the unbanked.

[@andrewwilson5901]

Great video and great to see you all in Edinburgh!

Can we have more of these talks?

[@marcind4644]

Would like to hear more from Professor Aggelos :/

[@DB-Studio1]

Very informative interview, A must see for every crypto fan!

[@stevencampbell6359]

"Not first to market, best to market" stealing that one! Thanks to you both and your teams for great work.

40:41 OMG what a juicer! Can't wait to watch every single second of it!

[@bautistabaiocchi-lora1339]

Big time lex vibes from charles. Wen podcast?

[@nilsdannemann]

Imagine Charles AMAs would sometimes include them both

[@richardcarson8385]

Is it possible for Cardano’s decentralized cryptographic proof of stake network to run on it’s own private satellite network with its own proprietary computers and phones? Meaning separate from the current internet hardware system?

[@angeloeliopoulos7980]

It’s open source for a reason.

[@biosenzo7917]

Cardano will change lifes

[@grandadcrypto]

thanks casey. Its been a while since I watched. What an amazing story. So much respect for you. So much.

[@lennon_richardson]

I’d like start or join a Cardano project in Africa

[@nilsdannemann]

Cool, that's the spirit! Start one if you have an idea how to support local communities. I think it's perfectly okay to start small. :) Also there is a big community on Twitter. Probably a cool place to start

[@MarcoMeerman]

You should contact John O Connor

[@lennon_richardson]

@@nilsdannemann thank you 🙏

[@markhancher5686]

Solid Foundation /real growth .

[@brodyalden]

Brilliant!

[@GalenZacharyRobbins]

Thank you for pronouncing his name right Charles

[@sharathchandradarsha-tt2iy]

Crypto is a new way of organizing Information Technology - well said!!!!

[@dumitra19]

...Just buy CARDANO and HOLD!!!!!! Thank You for the VID!

[@sonnyjohnson8887]

Can we please create an easy way to map cardano wallet address like dns 🙏

[@blockchain_cardano]

Great😇😇😇😇

[@Russking23]

Only understood 70%, but it was interesting nonetheless

[@colbybird4]

This is interesting

[@xondapc]

A practical application of blockchain. In the future there will be robots. Who ever owns the robot will have a "master key" ... using the blockchain. The activities these robots do, will be written onto the blockchain using "smart contracts" ... Time is the biggest hurdle "crypto" is facing right now. Real time transactions are crucial. A brave new world.

charles's chalkboard chat

[@stephenparker7997]

Why would Coinbase EVER be interested in this? ALL they care about is money. Money/ Money. and of course going the dollar club.

[@greger589]

❤️🇸🇪

[@MtMeadow]

What are they talking about

[@cryptoreality9837]

There is zero institutional interest in Cardano. The native Deadalus wallet consumes all system resources even on high end machines. Cardano smart contracts are not functional on a business level. The only dapps that exist on Cardano have no value and aren't being used by anyone. Failed smart contracts, no adoption and they can't even get their wallet to work correctly after years of peer reviewed coding and 150 scientific papers. This is what Cardano is since its inception in 2015.

[@borwornpanklang7841]

Reading your papers made me feel like go back to computer science student again, great work, cheers !!!

[@familyg7]

Looking good Charles!

[@nicholasobrien5914]

Loving it, down with hydroponics, up with chinampa

[@mrcapitalist2285]

Stay long CARDANO , because these geniuses and rest of team will make you very , very , wealthy over time ! Buy , hold , and stake ADA . EXTREMELY BULLISH!!!!
