Sharing Secrets - Presented by Secret Network

Hosted by Enigma's Head of Growth Tor Bair, our thirty-third episode features John Wolpert. John currently works at Consensys on the Web3Studio team, helping drive adoption of the decentralized web by identifying and building solutions using decentralized technologies. John has decades of entrepreneurial experience and previously co-founded IBM's blockchain business unit as well as Hyperledger Fabric. He also currently helps lead the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance's Mainnet Working Group, where Enigma is a contributing member. On this episode, John talks about why the world needs a single "mainnet", how to "embrace the boring" with blockchain, the new relationship between public and private blockchains, the importance of protecting sensitive data and business logic, and why everyone should get on board the "Magic Bus". Enigma's podcast "Decentralize This!" features guests from all over the decentralization space: developers, investors, entrepreneurs, researchers, writers, artists, people in government and enterprise - all individuals who care deeply about building a more decentralized and sustainable world. How can all these people with different perspectives collaborate to create and scale the technologies we need to shape a better future? --- Relevant links: John's Twitter: https://twitter.com/jwolpert Consensys: https://www.consensys.net EEA: https://www.entethalliance.org Enigma: https://www.enigma.co Enigma Blog: https://blog.enigma.co Enigma Twitter: www.twitter.com/enigmampc
