What We Learned From The MEDIA Protocol And Dispatch Labs AMA
Earlier this month we were thrilled to host a live Q&A, Ask Me Anything style, with Dispatch Labs. CEO of MEDIA Protocol, James Tabor, was joined by Dispatch Labs’ Chief Technology Officer, Zane Witherspoon.
True to their expertise, the chat covered a myriad of topics across crypto: blockchain, security, data, development, and the challenges of working within an emerging, innovative space where you have to create the technology from scratch.
Remember to join the MEDIA Protocol Telegram community to get notified about future AMAs!
About Dispatch Labs & MEDIA Protocol
Dispatch Labs is creating a new DLT platform for dApp developers to transition any data-driven application to blockchain. At MEDIA Protocol we have also created a tool for projects to use: an open source blockchain protocol that gives visibility about how consumers interact with and share content, and allows publishers, brands and consumers to reward each other.
