> Discover how #blockchain is transforming identity management in this panel discussion held in August 2024 at Rare Evo in Las Vegas, Nevada.

> In this panel discussion, 'Identity in the Age of Blockchain?' David Harding, General Manager of Atala PRISM at Input | Output moderates a discussion between Charles Hoskinson, CEO at Input | Output, Mike Ward, Chief Product Officer at Input | Output, Daniela Barbosa, Executive Director at Hyperledger Foundation, and Jon Bauer, CEO of Sign.

The making of the Hydra Doom experience.

I find it fascinating that Doom’s “determinism” (identical inputs will produce identical results in the gameplay) makes it possible to encode entire playstreams on-chain and have each of them compete against each other. Detractors of Cardano may accuse it of being relatively slow due to its high security on layer 1 compared to Solana, but layer 2’s like Hydra make that decision to prioritize determinism and statelessness look visionary when the roadmap is unfolded. Extended UTXO is paying off when it comes to parallelism.

Hats off to the Hydra team!

Ps. Yes. Technically I know it is not running Doom. Nonetheless this is a great demonstration of the power of the Hydra zk roll up tech.

Charles and company made a PGP-encrypted paper wallet. He is calling it the most secure paper wallet in the entire crypto space.

To put his money where his mouth is, anyone who hacks it can keep keep the cash ($1 million dollars worth of USDM) if you can hack it.

Good luck everyone!
