Founders Fireside Chat
summary
Thirty-minute conversation that explains why Stellar avoids mining, how the Stellar consensus protocol uses quorum slices to secure non-cryptocurrency assets, and why SDF opposes paid validator incentives; reports ongoing CBDC experiments, a newly announced Bridge Bounty program for interoperability, and a roadmap adding smart contracts then scalability. Claims Stellar already handles high trade and payment throughput (realtps.net ranks it well), stresses anchors and reputation markets as immediate needs, and notes one founder’s parallel engineering project on artificial gravity.
