Interview

Blockchain’s role in modern industries #01

In an interview with Cointelegraph published on April 15, 2024, Christopher Louis Tsu, CEO of Venom Blockchain, discussed the potential of blockchain technology in various industries. Tsu stated that blockchain is increasingly becoming integrated into different sectors, with growing trust, investment, and partnerships from both governmental and corporate bodies.

Tsu noted the growth of USD-based stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) as a reflection of the broader adoption of distributed ledger technology. He also mentioned the relevance of asset tokenization in streamlining payment systems by reducing transaction friction.

In terms of Venom Blockchain’s technological features, Tsu outlined several components, including the Threaded Virtual Machine (TVM), Mesh Network protocol, and Dynamic Sharding. These elements support scalable operations, enabling the platform to manage up to 100,000 transactions per second while maintaining security and efficiency. The platform's focus on account abstraction and interchain communication is designed to offer more flexibility for developers working on Web3 applications.

Tsu also emphasized Venom Blockchain’s distinction as a non-Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchain, processing transactions asynchronously. According to Tsu, this infrastructure could facilitate new opportunities for government-related projects, such as central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and the tokenization of physical assets.

Looking ahead, Tsu mentioned that Venom Blockchain is pursuing business-to-government partnerships in regions such as Eastern Africa and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The aim is to leverage blockchain technology to contribute to local economic development. Additionally, Venom is organizing a TokenForge Hackathon with a $200,000 prize pool to promote innovation within its ecosystem.

Tsu concluded by suggesting that the growing prominence of blockchain technology is likely to drive competition among countries seeking to create favorable regulatory environments for crypto-related projects in the coming years. ^[3]
