Keynote & AMA: Dean Tribble, Co Founder and CEO of Agoric
summary
Agoric builds a sovereign Layer 1 chain using Tendermint/Cosmos tech and a deterministic secure JavaScript runtime so contracts run with replayable, memory-safe semantics. The platform exposes an object-capability API and electronic rights transfer protocol (ERTP) so tokens and assets are first-class objects usable across contracts, demonstrated by a reusable covered‑call component. Economics include an integrated native stablecoin, predictable gas design, IBC peg plans, Chainlink oracles for real‑world data, and an alpha→beta roadmap focused on developer UX and composability.
