    Appendix-D - Quantum Resistance and Ethereum Blockchain

    This podcast discuss a Nature's article that investigates the threat that quantum computing poses to blockchain networks. It explores how quantum computers could be used to break existing cryptographic algorithms used in blockchain, specifically highlighting the vulnerabilities of digital signatures and communication protocols. The authors propose an end-to-end framework for post-quantum blockchain networks, which involves incorporating quantum entropy for key generation, generating post-quantum certificates, and establishing quantum-resistant TLS tunnels between nodes. The framework also introduces a post-quantum signature verification protocol, which they implement in an Ethereum-based network called LAC Chain. The article concludes with a discussion of the performance and scalability of their proposed solutions, demonstrating their practicality for securing blockchain networks from quantum adversaries.

    Appendix-C - NFT market microstructure

    This podcast discusses on an academic article, which examines the market microstructure of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and addresses concerns about market manipulation and the legal status of NFTs. The authors discuss factors influencing NFT price formation and discovery, including fixed price and timed auctions, and how market structure impacts the speed and quality of price discovery. They highlight the importance of transparency and disclose how wash-trading techniques are used to manipulate the NFT market. Finally, the article explores the application of the Howey test to determine whether NFTs should be considered securities and delves into legal and regulatory implications surrounding intellectual property, taxes, and sales tax.

    Appendix-B - NFTs and Case Study on Cryptokicks

    This podcast discusses a case study that examines the use of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) by Nike to combat counterfeiting. The authors first describe the large global market for counterfeit goods, including the methods and factors that contribute to its growth. They then introduce Nike's Cryptokick patent, which leverages NFTs to create digital representations of physical shoes, allowing for unique identification and ownership tracking on a blockchain. The study explores how these digital assets can be used to enhance brand engagement and fight counterfeiting, as well as the fast-track patent process Nike used to secure its Cryptokick patent.

    Appendix-A - Deep Dive on Proof of Stake

    This podcast goes beyond Mayukh Mukhopadhyay’s Ethereum Smart Contract Development and outlines the transition of the Ethereum blockchain from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS), a significant shift that has fundamentally changed the network’s energy consumption, scalability, and overall performance. The text explores the limitations of PoW, explains the advantages of PoS, and traces Ethereum’s evolution from 2018 to 2024, highlighting key milestones like the launch of the Beacon Chain and the Merge, which successfully integrated PoS into the Ethereum network. The appendix also discusses the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for Ethereum as it continues to grow and adapt to the changing landscape of blockchain technology.
