LONDON (Bywire News) - Yves La Rose, the CEO of the ENF, attended the famous TOKEN2049 event in Singapore across a number of dates enticing blockchain enthusiasts to network and learn more about this ever-developing space.

Whilst speaking at his booth, he mentioned the focus is on the number of nodes that went down significantly resulting in five or six full history node providers. This, he says, is the reason they needed to build and reengineer how that data was being processed and how it was stored. 

Yves also stated a common theme he noticed throughout the market was of GameFi adopting the foundation of CPU mining. He added that they still have the other chains on their networking processing an estimated 25-30 million transactions per day. 

Whilst mentioning the Antelope ecosystem and their chains, Yves added that the underlying software is run by multiple chains that are running a lot of GameFi. In the last cycle, they identified that you have a tremendous number of users in a short period of time that is all stored in RAM in order to access in a rapid way. Yves stated that whilst they are using what computational architecture can provide them with, there is a trade-off for that. 

The question is: does Antelope keep using the latest generation hardware of VP nodes or do they go enterprise rate for more RAM in order for horizontal scaling?

Yves also addressed the issue of blockchain scaling. The overall objective mission, he said, is hitting the limits of what is possible and that the builders joining him are pioneering a lot of things that have never been done before.  

His overarching point was that, as long as products continue in their development of space, the technological and human trade-off doesn’t essentially matter. In five years’ time, they will be viewed as hurdles passed that proved building blocks for further adoption.

Mentioning Antelope, Yves stated that with the multiple blockchain model, you have each chain running a similar software style that was competitors. However, now that the foundation for integration has been established, the funding for IBC running between chains has been established and everyone's interconnectivity is primed to scale.
