Shalom Crypto 101ers, Bryce Paul here.

And this is Pizza Mine.

We got a killer lineup for you guys today.

We have two super, super interesting projects that are not necessarily blockchain projects.

They're what you would call a DAG.

So Pete, tell us quickly at a high level, what's a DAG and why does it matter?

It's different than a blockchain.

The way transactions are sent around is you have to have, you have to perform two proofs

of work before your transaction gets spent.

So it exponentially spins up this network that grows faster and faster over time with more

usage. This is phenomenal for small micro transactions and is really great because the normal attack

vectors of a 51% attack or a denial of service attack don't work.

In fact, they actually make the network better.

That sounds super interesting.

So we're going to dive in to HoloChane first and then to Nano. But, you know,

let's just quickly just talk about HoloChain. So again, it's not a blockchain per se. But I like

actually what HoloChane talks about in this podcast. They talk about it being a new medium that can carry richer patterns of

communication and social coordination. So kind of what this means is that these new systems

are ways of coordinating machines, right? There are a new way for machines to be accountable to one another and to facilitate all

these sorts of autonomous machine to machine value transfers.

So how do we do that, right?

It's by users or machines owning their own data and being able to monetize that, right?
