After a a little bit of downtime, Coinscrum {presents} heads back with a bang featuring two great presentations for you to get your teeth into.
One is a project we’ve been keeping a close eye on since last year and, just as they hit the on-switch, we gladly welcome Nathan Cook, CTO of ZEN PROTOCOL to tell us about their journey so far and where they plan to get to. The other, RLAY – an information Validation Protocol for apps and DAPPs – is slightly earlier on its path to success, but just as interesting all the same.

ZEN PROTOCOL
Zen Protocol is a new type of blockchain, written from scratch in F#, with a contracting language in F*. The design integrates the efficiencies of Bitcoin and the UTXO model, with the programmability of Ethereum and the EVM model. Applications on Zen Protocol can scale further than ever before. Advanced security techniques like formal verification are made natural with their sophisticated tools. By not needing to account for gas there is no need for a VM so smart contracts can be compiled and processed in parallel – resulting in lower costs for the end users.
ABOUT NATHAN
Nathan studied for three years at Queens’ College, U. of Cambridge focusing on Applied and Applicable Maths: Quantum Field Theory, Special and General Relativity, Percolation Theory, Bayesian methods, Computational Modelling.

RLAY is a protocol, ERC-20 utility token, and distributed network that companies and individuals can use to validate the veracity of information. It is their team’s thesis that decentralised applications cannot reach their full potential yet, since information verification currently requires central authorities. RLAY aims to tackle the problem of “information asymmetry” through propositional transactions that allow machines to unambiguously interpret information and a novel Proof-of-Coherence to verify them. RLAY’s CEO, Michael Hirn, will explain how they intend to fix this critical issue.
ABOUT MICHAEL
Michael Hirn is a former co-founder & CEO of venture-backed AI company (Autumn AI) and a former consultant to Sunstone Capital.
