A Leap Towards Blockchain Education
When it comes to innovation, collaboration is key. Enter LayerX Labs, which recently joined forces with the Suto Lab at the prestigious Tokyo Institute of Technology. Their mission? To delve into the intricate world of blockchain consensus algorithms. With the help of ‘SimBlock’, a public blockchain simulator, they aim to assess new protocols like Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake ‘Casper’. What could possibly go wrong? Only time will tell if these academic nods translate to real-world success.
