This discussion with Dan Hughes, the founder of Radix, goes into the intricacies of achieving linear scalability in distributed ledger networks. Dan shares insights into his journey from working in mobile telecoms and games development to revolutionizing DLT scalability. The conversation highlights the Cassandra test network's role in demonstrating Radix's capabilities, emphasizing a public test aiming for 1 million+ transactions per second using community-powered hardware. This discussion also explores the distinctions between atomic composability and commitment in the context of sharding, addressing the challenges of state bloat, privacy, validator sharding models, and the future roadmap towards the Xi'an network after Babylon. The dialogue encapsulates Radix's mission to provide a scalable, efficient, and decentralized blockchain network, contrasting it with existing L1 and L2 solutions.
