We at @InputOutputHK Research (IOR) use technical readiness to track progress of #Cardano R&D.

It's inspired from the TRLs of @NASA, we call it Software Readiness Levels (SRL). There are 9 levels of SRL, this 🧵 explains the deliverables that are expected at each level.

SRL 1: Basic principles observed and reported

Scientific knowledge generated underpinning basic properties of software architecture and mathematical formulation.

Characteristic Deliverables:
- Published Basic Research Paper

A 🧵 about the key points that @IOHK_Charles addressed in his keynote at @Ai4Conferences 2024 about the challenges of merging blockchain and AI.

AI could leverage blockchain as an incentive & trust layer to build decentralized marketplaces for data, models and inference.

1/n Charles, through his experience with Ethereum and Cardano, shed light on the complexities of merging blockchain and AI. He underscored significant challenges in governance and alignment within these industries.

Here is a thread about @sol3gga’s video and how @InputOutputHK intend to scale #Cardano 👉

If your friends still doubt the promising and competitive future of #Cardano, just give it time, they're bound to see its potential soon enough! 🌟🖖

1/11 As Jeremy Cooperstock from @mcgillu research department of computing told me once, always start by the conclusion of your talks 😆

@sol3gga discusses blockchain scalability, emphasizing the need for wide throughput and fast settlement with Ouroboros Leios and Peras, focusing on payload decoupling, concurrent processing, and fast, inclusive, and efficient blockchain operations with tiered pricing, blockspace futures and babel fees. He also presented how #Cardano will scale via L2s with state channels, recursive SNARKs and merged staking. #Cardano future is bright! ☀️

@brian_armstrong Cool! Could you also improve the security of your iOS app? In fact, imagine you are on the way, only have your iPhone with you and you recently change your phone number and forgot to change it in your Coinbase account. @brian_armstrong Imagine someone takes your old number and tries to hack your Facebook account. You will be alerted by a reset password kind of email. Freaking out you will remember that you didn’t change the phone number in your @coinbase account! 😱
