Tezos, a decentralized blockchain platform, was founded by the husband and wife duo, Arthur and Kathleen Breitman, almost a decade ago and since then the open-source blockchain network has come a long way.
Arthur Breitman spoke to CryptoNews in Brussels during EthCC 7 about scaling Tezos, the recent Mumbai Upgrade, artificial intelligence and on-chain roll-ups for customization, scalability, and cheaper transaction fees.
“Tezos started out as a monolithic blockchain in the same design as Bitcoin or Ethereum, with differences. We were first to be proof of stake,” said Breitman.
Tezos has a built-in governance mechanism that allows stakeholders to vote on and implement protocol upgrades without the need for hard forks.
Over the years Tezos has seen several upgrades, and one of the big milestones was the recent Mumbai upgrade, which allows anyone to deploy Smart Rollups. Upgrades are usually named after major Cities around the world.
Breitman said Tezos is focusing on developer experience, “which is super important” he goes on to explain that a lot of the development is kind of a sub-language.
“What’s more, a lot of software development in the future is going to be done by AI,” explains Breitman, “AI is getting better and better at coding… a lot of future software development in the world in general, is going to be done by AI.”
Breitman believes AI is better at coding languages for which it has large corpus data. For example when asked to write JavaScript or Python, AI will do this very well. But in some cases such as when asked to write “COBOL” compiled in an English-like computer programming language, AI will do it, but it won’t work as well.
Breitman said AI can assist developers in writing smart contracts more efficiently.
