Thomas Cox from the Block.one team came to Austin to give us an update on EOS and and an overview of its governance model. I shot the presentation and indexed it below.
To paraphrase Thomas, governance is the human layer on top of the blockchain. I was most intrigued by the conversation on arbitration. What happens when a contact doesn't go as planned? In the Q&A Thomas explains how arbitration will work, who will be involved, and what the incentives are. In the real world we sue over contracts on the EOS blockchain there are community arbitrators.
It was great meeting Thomas and learning more about the project. This video was shot on 4/19/2018 in Austin, Texas.
