In an upcoming special podcast miniseries, Software Engineering Daily sits down with Turing Award recipients,

the most prestigious honor in computer science, to explore their lives, achievements, stories, and insights.

What inspires these innovators who have transformed the field of computer science,

and how do their groundbreaking ideas continue to shape technology

today?

We delve into pioneering work and programming languages, breakthroughs in computing performance,

revolutionary advancements in chip architecture, and more.

Join us this March and April for rare and thoughtful conversations with Turing Award winners,

and learn about some of the most influential breakthroughs

in computer science. Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform that was created by

Vitalik Buterin and Gavin Wood in 2015. It uses a cryptocurrency called Ether as its native

token to power transactions and operations on the Ethereum network.

Ethereum's proponents envision a future, where the network forms the foundation for a second

platform layer called L2, where decentralized applications are run. As we approach the 10th anniversary

of Ethereum's creation, we wanted to understand the state of the technology,

so we spoke with Andrew Collar, who is an engineer at Cracken, which is a software company and

popular cryptocurrency exchange. In this conversation, Andrew talks about Cracken, security

considerations at an exchange, the history of Ethereum, L2, and the future of Ethereum.
