Meet the Baker with Chris Pinnock
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.
📖 Special offer for our listeners:
- 20% off Learning Russian Verbs on Leanpub
- Also available in paperback and soon in hardback on Amazon.
