Smart Contracts on Plasma - Christian Reitwiessner
Tue, Oct 2, 2018, 12:00 AM
Plasma is a system of blockchains proposed by Joseph Poon and Vitalik Buterin as a solution to the scalability problem. This talk shows how smart contracts can be implemented on such a system and explains why not all contracts are suitable as is. Primitives for the programming language Solidity are suggested that could ease cross-chain communications in such systems.
