Mark Miller & Dean Tribble | The Agoric Approach to Computing The Foresight Institute Podcast

    • Technology

“In the mid 90s, we had a vision of smart contracting well before the invention of blockchain.”

Mark S. Miller is a pioneer of Agoric (market-based secure distributed) computing and smart contracts, an architect of the Xanadu hypertext publishing system, a former Google research scientist, and a senior fellow of the Foresight Institute.

Dean Tribble co-designed the negotiation process and contract for the first smart contracting system, AMiX. As a Principal Architect at Microsoft, he co-designed the Midori distributed object-capability operating system. 

This episode is a fireside chat Q&A with Mark S. Miller and Dean Tribble of Agoric. Agoric is an open-source development company launching an interoperable Proof-of-Stake chain and economy. Their JavaScript-native smart contract platform offers developers a safe, reusable library of DeFi components to rapidly build and deploy on-chain.

Session Summary: (390) Fireside Q&A with Mark Miller & Dean Tribble | The Agoric Approach to Computing - YouTube

The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies. Since our founding in 1987 on a vision of guiding powerful technologies, we have continued to evolve into a many-armed organization that focuses on several fields of science and technology that are too ambitious for legacy institutions to support.


Allison Duettmann is the president and CEO of Foresight Institute. She directs the Intelligent Cooperation, Molecular Machines, Biotech & Health Extension, Neurotech, and Space Programs, Fellowships, Prizes, and Tech Trees, and shares this work with the public. She founded Existentialhope.com, co-edited Superintelligence: Coordination & Strategy, co-authored Gaming the Future, and co-initiated The Longevity Prize.
