Gavin Wood: Welcome! Our Mission: ÐApps

Devcon 0 · 24 Nov 2014 · 35:19

Gavin Wood opens Devcon 0 in Berlin in November 2014 by setting out why Ethereum exists: technological progress has concentrated power, trust does not scale, and the mission is decentralisation. He walks through the stack the team is building to deliver it, from the Turing-complete blockchain and a new contract language to Swarm for storage, Whisper for messaging and the Mist browser, and says developers will need a new vocabulary for building dapps. The second half is a rare record of the early team, as more than 30 developers, researchers, communicators and guests, including Vitalik Buterin and Joseph Lubin, each introduce themselves and their work.
