In this episode of InfoMatters Podcast, we sit down with Chris Pinnock to explore the unique world of Tezos and its innovative proof-of-stake consensus. Unlike Bitcoin’s traditional mining, Tezos relies on validators—called bakers—to secure the network, govern upgrades, and drive decentralization.

We discuss:

  • How Tezos’ proof-of-stake differs from other blockchains
  • The technical challenges of scalability, security, and governance
  • Lessons learned from Tezos’ self-amending upgrade process
  • The role of bakers in long-term sustainability and decentralization
  • Strategies to attract developers and projects into the Tezos ecosystem
  • How Tezos stays competitive in a fast-moving blockchain landscape
  • Chris’s personal vision for Tezos and the broader crypto space

🎧 Whether you’re a blockchain enthusiast, developer, or investor, this conversation offers a deep dive into what makes Tezos unique and where it’s headed.

We also talk about his book Learning Russian Verbs and the play that Chris is working on: Kisses on a Postcard.
