Every enterprise will one day use the Hedera network… It’s a bold claim but one that Rob Allen backs with unwavering conviction.
Rob has often been drawn back to Hedera Hashgraph throughout his career due to its ability to solve technology problems that other blockchains or distributed ledgers could not.
Now in his role as the HBAR Foundation (Hedera’s native cryptocurrency) SVP of Ecosystem Acceleration, he is armed with a $5billion war chest to empower entrepreneurs to build economies on the Hedera network.
During the fascinating hour-long chat, Rob discusses how the hashgraph consensus powered ‘3rd generation public ledger’ is not constrained by the Blockchain Trilemma, achieves the highest-grade of security possible, offers trail-blazing speeds and is truly decentralising the future.
