What if blockchains could be secured and time-stamped to
Bitcoin? And how could something like that be achieved in a way
that maintains the decentralized, transparent and permissionless
nature of blockchains themselves? These are a couple of the big
questions that led Justin Fisher and Maxwell Sanchez to the
creation of VeriBlock.
“The VeriBlock blockchain is itself secured to Bitcoin and acts as
an efficiency and aggregation layer that allows other blockchains
to secure themselves to Bitcoin in a cost-effective and easy-to-use
manner,” says Sanchez.
It relies upon a concept that Fisher and Sanchez refer to as “proof
of proof,” which will not only allow exchanges, merchants and users
to make informed decisions about whether or not to accept a
payment, but will allow them to do so with the confidence of
knowing that each transaction is secured with the full power of
Bitcoin. In fact, altering a transaction on the VeriBlock platform
would require a forking of Bitcoin itself.
Fisher and Sanchez bring an impressive amount of insight and
technical knowledge to the discussion. Tune in to hear the details,
