Last week we held our 7th Blockchain Academy event, where Ory Band, Senior Backend and Distributed Systems Engineer at Kin, shared his knowledge in a talk called The Stellar Blockchain and The Story of the Federated Consensus.

In his talk, Ory dove into detail on the Federated consensus networks, focusing on Stellar and Ripple, and discussed how they differ from other popular decentralized consensus solutions such as Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake. He reviewed their pros and cons, and discussed the business requirements that drive companies to adopt these solutions over others.

More than 70 people from the Tel Aviv tech community came to hear Ory speak on the 60th floor of the Sarona Azrieli Tower at Labs Tel Aviv. You can watch the full video below:
