Blockchain Bulletin: Unchained invites some of the leading figures from the industry to explain, analyse and breakdown some of the key themes and news stories transpiring in real-time in an ever-evolving sector.
In episode two of Blockchain Bulletin: Unchained, Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, breaks down the payment lifecycle of conducting a transaction on the blockchain.
Boiron discussed with host Callum Williams, Senior Business Journalist for Payment Expert, on what companies and users need to consider before performing a payment on the blockchain, from the digital currency they want to use, to the blockchain network that conducts the transaction.
He then dives into the process of handling private keys and why they are essential in the process, as well as cryptography and how it generates passwords and manages crypto assets.
As the world becomes increasingly more digital, there has been an explosion of varying digital currencies now in circulation, and Boiron breaks down the differences and payment capabilities of stablecoins, such as USDT and USDC, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
Boiron also shared his opinion on the interoperability challenge and opportunities for businesses accommodating several digital currencies as part of their payment stacks.
Expanding on the cross-border use cases for stablecoins, Boiron also shared where he sees the future of stablecoins next and why there are benefits to integrating a parallel traditional and blockchain payment rails to gain the best of both worlds.
