I am super excited to be attending IO ScotFest in Edinburgh that starts today! lnkd.in/dxWNW4qZ
Excited to be at launch event today for three new highly-innovative R&D collaborations with Input Output (IOHK) for the advancement of #blockchain, #distributedledgertechnology, and #cryptocurrencies here at #universityofedinburgh School of Informatics (#1 in UK for research power and a top such computer science school globally). #IOScotFest 'The Age of Voltaire'. Big kudos to Prof Aggelos Kiayias for leading much of this research and partnership!
Presentation of the Edinburgh Decentralization Index by @sol3gga et al.
It measures decentralization of blockchain networks beyond counting the number of validators and their power (weight) over the system (consensus protocol).
This is a major leap forward for our industry π
Bitcoin maxis gonna be heated when they see the Edinburgh Decentralization Index

Great to see the EDI go live. It's going to be a wonderful addition long term to the conversation about the need for decentralization and how measure it
, What are the expected timelines? A Phd research from a couple of years before EDI is ready? really curious.
Every #blockchain needs to have an @EdinburghUni EDI (Decentralisation Index) score. Would love to see global adoption of this to give everyone trust. #crypto ed.ac.uk/informatics/blβ¦
Cardano builder IOG and University of Edinburgh to create first ever index to provide industry standard metric for crypto decentralization #Edinburgh #cardano #iog #EDI #decentralization bitcoininsider.org/article/194188β¦
The Edinburgh Decentralization Index will lay bare the naked truth about what is really out there in crypto land. A concrete and objective way of using on-chain metrics to measure decentralization is going to change the landscape for the better. EDI is a very valuable endeavor.
The show must go on! @mandeepbirdi @InputOutputHK #IOScotfest
CC in Edinburgh for @IOHK_Charles talk

I love the idea and everything but, when the research is gonna assign worse ratings to BTC and ETH than they think they deserve you know what they're gonna say right? "Fuck these ratings they were made up by Charles" π
Markulf Kohlweiss is introducing the new Zero Knowledge Lab at the University of Edinburgh at #ScotFest
The EDI will collect primary data and conduct conceptual work to create net metrics for decentralised systems in blockchain, distributed ledger technology and cryptocurrencies.
Believe in Yourself. Just like Nessie from Loch Ness. ;) #ZeroKnowledge #ZK #InputOutput
Happy Friday! The champions at Cardano are relentless.
Both ScotFest starting today (Nov 18-19) and Cardano Summit tomorrow (Nov 19-21), it's an action-packed weekend with the world's BEST proof of stake blockchain. #Cardano #Ada #goingfornumber1 π

Possibly the biggest contribution to the greater crypto space weβll see come out of this weekend. Anybody know if this was a collaboration across organizations or is it solely developed by IOG and University of Edinburgh, i.e., what are the potential biases?
The blockchain decentralisation index will be the first of its kind and could protect users against opaque centralisation of blockchain projects.

Nice overview of input endorses, hope it goes well in testing, also cool idea with decentralisation index. The industry needs it badly.
Input Output Global (IOG) is partnering with the University of Edinburgh to develop the blockchain industry's first 'decentralization index'.
The new research grants especially for SSID, ZK Lab, and input indorsers! Okay so the whole thing lol.
Iβve been traveling 2-3 weeks and feel like Iβve missed dog/blockchain years worth of Cardano development. Head is spinning. Input endorsers demo, fiat backed stable coin, a constitution and the first Voltaire CIP, synthetics, Hydra demoes..
Charles has the whiteboards out. Things are about to get serious.
#Cardano #IOScotFest
He's finally gonna announce the thing! It's been in the works for what? 3? 4 years? I remember when it was just an idea in an airport... Hope you're watching!
