Emre Tekisalp on Taking Control of Your Digital Life Using Cryptography & Cryptocurrency

Today we discuss taking control of your digital life using cryptography and cryptocurrency with special guest Emre Tekisalp at (O1) Labs.

Emre is the Director of Business Development at (O1) Labs, the team building Coda Protocol. Emre's career has focused on bringing new economic opportunities to societies using the power of technology. Before O(1) Labs, he spent two years at Coinbase's Business Development team where he led a number of strategic programs during a period when the company grew 10x. Before Coinbase, Emre was a Product Manager at Intel's wearable devices group. Originally from Istanbul, Turkey, Emre has an MBA degree from Columbia University.

Coda launched its Genesis program: a one-of-a-kind opportunity for community members to prepare to become the first block producers upon mainnet launch. Unlike other third-generation protocols offering 1% or less in token distributions to their communities, Coda is setting aside up to 6.6% of tokens for Genesis founding members. During their 3.1 testnet release in January, they saw 10X growth from Phases 1 and 2.

Emre published an article proposing ScaDe (Scalability-per-unit-of-Decentralization) as a new mental model to help our industry design better blockchains and solve the scalability trilemma: https://codaprotocol.com/blog/solving-the-scalability-trilemma
