Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform that was created by Vitalik Buterin and Gavin Wood in 2015. It uses a cryptocurrency called Ether as its native token to power transactions and operations on the Ethereum network. Ethereum’s proponents envision a future where the network forms the foundation for a second platform layer, called L2, where decentralized applications are run.
As we approach the 10th anniversary of Ethereum’s creation we wanted to understand the state of the technology so we spoke with Andrew Koller who is an engineer at Kraken, which is a software company and popular cryptocurrency exchange. In this conversation Andrew talks about Kraken, security considerations at an exchange, the history of Ethereum, L2, and the future of Ethereum.

Developers, we’ve all been there… It’s 3 AM and your phone blares, jolting you awake. Another alert. You scramble to troubleshoot, but the complexity of your microservices environment makes it nearly impossible to pinpoint the problem quickly.
That’s why Chronosphere is on a mission to help you take back control with Differential Diagnosis, a new distributed tracing feature that takes the guesswork out of troubleshooting. With just one click, DDx automatically analyzes all spans and dimensions related to a service, pinpointing the most likely cause of the issue.
Don’t let troubleshooting drag you into the early hours of the morning. Just “DDx it” and resolve issues faster.
