BUILDING A BILLION DOLLAR CRYPTOCURRENCY WITH HASKELL
by Duncan Coutts

THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS:
Cryptocurrency
Development
Haskell

TALK LEVEL:

ABSTRACT
This talk is an experience report on the development and operation of a top-10 open blockchain cryptocurrency written in Haskell.

Cardano is a recently released blockchain cryptocurrency system developed by IOHK and implemented primarily in Haskell. It has a number of innovative technologies and a long future roadmap, but in this talk Duncan will focus less on the 'what' and more on the question of 'how' and on transferable lessons:

  * How the system has been and is being developed;
  * How we balance rapid development with higher assurance development;
  * Playing to Haskell's strengths;
  * Opportunities for higher assurance with formal specifications;
  * Bridging the gap between research and products;
  *…
