Sinopse

In this podcast we are joined by Kevin Leuthardt who wrote an interesting article on this subject earlier this year where he analyses the use of governance from a business network layer, protocol layer and data layer for scaling blockchain consortia. Kevin Leuthardt is the cofounder of KSquared which works with start-ups across industries and technologies.
