Interviews

Blockchain’s role in modern industries

In an interview with Cointelegraph published on April 15, 2024, Christopher Louis Tsu, CEO of Venom Blockchain, discussed the potential of blockchain technology in various industries. Tsu stated that blockchain is increasingly becoming integrated into different sectors, with growing trust, investment, and partnerships from both governmental and corporate bodies.

Tsu noted the growth of USD-based stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) as a reflection of the broader adoption of distributed ledger technology. He also mentioned the relevance of asset tokenization in streamlining payment systems by reducing transaction friction.

In terms of Venom Blockchain’s technological features, Tsu outlined several components, including the Threaded Virtual Machine (TVM), Mesh Network protocol, and Dynamic Sharding. These elements support scalable operations, enabling the platform to manage up to 100,000 transactions per second while maintaining security and efficiency. The platform's focus on account abstraction and interchain communication is designed to offer more flexibility for developers working on Web3 applications.

Tsu also emphasized Venom Blockchain’s distinction as a non-Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchain, processing transactions asynchronously. According to Tsu, this infrastructure could facilitate new opportunities for government-related projects, such as central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and the tokenization of physical assets.

Looking ahead, Tsu mentioned that Venom Blockchain is pursuing business-to-government partnerships in regions such as Eastern Africa and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The aim is to leverage blockchain technology to contribute to local economic development. Additionally, Venom is organizing a TokenForge Hackathon with a $200,000 prize pool to promote innovation within its ecosystem.

Tsu concluded by suggesting that the growing prominence of blockchain technology is likely to drive competition among countries seeking to create favorable regulatory environments for crypto-related projects in the coming years. ^[3]

Tsu on Blockchain Adoption and Scalability

Christopher Louis Tsu, participated in an interview on the YouTube channel "WazirX: Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Exchange in India" on July 12, 2024, where he discussed topics related to blockchain adoption, scalability, and decentralized technologies. The conversation centered on Venom Foundation’s approach to addressing key issues in the blockchain industry, including scalability and transaction speed.

Tsu outlined Venom Foundation’s focus on developing a blockchain solution designed to improve transaction speeds and scalability, two major challenges to broader blockchain adoption. He highlighted the foundation's use of a layer zero blockchain, which serves as a base for decentralized applications and allows for efficient development.

In addition to technical aspects, Tsu described his experience in the cryptocurrency space, moving from initial skepticism to recognition of its broader potential. He noted that the spread of accurate information and education plays a crucial role in changing perceptions about blockchain technology.

Tsu also discussed Venom Foundation’s partnerships with government entities, which aim to promote blockchain integration into public infrastructure. These collaborations are positioned as a means of facilitating the adoption of blockchain technology in various sectors.

A practical application of Venom's technology is the Venom card, which operates similarly to a credit card but is built on blockchain, enabling instant transactions. Furthermore, Tsu addressed interoperability challenges, noting that Venom is developing a mesh network designed to enhance communication between different blockchains.

Finally, Tsu touched on the potential for tokenization of real-world assets, particularly in developing economies. He explained that this process could offer new opportunities for investment and financial inclusion.^[5]
