During the first Tezos Town Hall of 2020, a panel of experts from the Tezos ecosystem—including Arthur Breitman, early architect of Tezos—break down the current state of the protocol and answer community questions about governance and core development.
Joining the conversation was Adrian Brink, Founder of Metastate, Arthur Breitman, Early Architect of Tezos, Raphaël Cauderlier, Research Engineer at Nomadic Labs, Jacob Arluck, Co-founder of TQ Tezos, and Gabriel Alfour, Lead Developer at Ligo Lang.
This Session was the first Tezos Town Hall of 2020, and featured a panel of experts who answered community questions about governance and core protocol development. Discussion also included the potential for improvements—including the upcoming 007 upgrade and the release of dalphanet, a test network for experimenting with new features in the upcoming protocol upgrade—as well as how developers can get involved to help improve Tezos.
