as part of @RBAInfo @DigiFinanceCRC Project Acacia, here's a primer on pubilc versus permissioned DLTs (distributed ledger technology), and on the back of the @RedbellyNetwork Insights podcast on right now (see https://t.co/CDMZdNz54w), here's some explainers

First up Public vs Private DLT

Private Permissioned DLT:
- Only selected, known participants (such as specific banks or financial institutions) are allowed to join and validate transactions.
- Access is tightly controlled and not open to the general public; every participant is vetted and given explicit permission to participate.
- Used when confidentiality and control are top priorities, often for sensitive financial transactions.

Public Permissioned DLT (think more eligibility criteria which depends on market as @RedbellyAlan mentions in the show):
- The underlying platform is open and potentially accessible to anyone for certain functions (like reading the blockchain or using apps), but only approved participants can validate transactions or issue assets.
- A wider group can interact with the platform, but core functions (like settling tokenised assets or issuing CBDC) are restricted to those given explicit permission.
- Balances transparency and openness with the need for regulatory control and permissioned access.
In summary:

So in summary
- Private permissioned = access and participation are tightly restricted to a closed group.
- Public permissioned = the network is broadly accessible, but only whitelisted participants can perform critical functions.

I lost my dog because we could not build her next mRNA cancer vaccine fast enough

Today we are announcing a $4M seed led by @foundersfund to change that.

@RaoulDukeDegen it sure does - so easy to forget - and a good reminder for the swathes of folks who, thanks to AI, are now more than ever connected to the software world and all that entails from it...

@steipete They want the clicks albeit some other journalists did less of the hype of AI doom than others. They need the sheeple to hate AI

[Mark Monfort @CaptDigital]

Given the moat isn't the capabilities, because you can either copy easily or make specific features and do so better than these companies, the last thing to tumble will be data accessibility, this means cases and analysis , and even more, developing and building on a firms own internal knowledge, precedents and more

@vincent_koc It's easy to hate, it's far harder to build something useful and there's a lot of jealous heads out there
