 My name is Sam Cassett, Chief Strategy Officer of Consensus, which is a company that builds, spawn, and incubates blockchain-based startup companies on the Ethereum blockchain. We recently had an Ethereum hard fork called the Byzantium hard fork. This represents an upgrade to the protocol in the dimensions of scalability and privacy. You may have seen that recently there was a split in Bitcoin into Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin the mainstream. This was a hard fork that did not complete successfully, resulting in essentially two different assets. In Ethereum, the upgrade went off without a hitch. Everyone upgraded to the same software. Now we have one single main blockchain of Ethereum that is an application platform.
