One of the strongest features of blockchain is its ability to store data immutably: to preserve the history of a transaction for the rest of time. I’m here with my friend Ryan Hawkos to talk about one of the strongest use cases for that immutability: on-chain records.

Ryan is the director of operations for VXTechnologies, a startup which leverages blockchain to secure the public and private data of institutions. He’s also putting together the Boston Blockchain Hub, a resource for anyone looking to get involved with the Boston blockchain community.

In this episode, we talk about why it’s valuable to store data on-chain, the global reach of blockchain, the mindset builders need for user-centric products, and how people like you can become a part of Boston’s crypto clan.
