“Document failure.”– Christian Badertscher, Director of Research Strategy and Planning, IO
Why document failure? The earlier in the innovation process you can identify what doesn’t work, the more time you can spend on different solutions to move forward.

This is just one of the guiding principles that the R&D team at Input | Output follow when it comes to developing novel #blockchain scalability solutions.

To dive deeper into how Christian Badertscher, Director of Research Strategy and Planning, Nicolas Biri, Director of Software Architecture, Arnaud Bailly, Innovation Lead Architect, and Sandro Coretti-Drayton, Research Fellow, worked together to develop the Ouroboros Peras protocol, watch the rest of the 6 part series, Behind the Blockchain, now: www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

🔄 “The iteration cycle in innovation allows us to provide more feedback to the users, to describe what we can do, and what options are on the table... It’s important to involve the community and the implementer in the design choice… and share the prototypes that we have developed.” – Director of Research Strategy and Planning, Nicolas Biri
