Ep 24 - Alexis Gauba - How We Can Build an Inclusive Decentralized Future

Hosted by Enigma's Head of Growth Tor Bair, our twenty-fourth episode features Alexis Gauba. Alexis is the cofounder of Mechanism Labs, an open-source research lab focused on studying consensus, scalability, usability, and other aspects of decentralized systems. She is also the cofounder and executive director of SHE256, a non-profit focused on increasing diversity and breaking down barriers to entry for the blockchain and decentralization space. Alexis is currently a student at UC Berkeley working on a degree in computer science, and she’s been very active in getting student communities more engaged with blockchain. On this episode Alexis talks about diversity of builders and users in the blockchain space, how mentorship and education can contribute to a more sustainable and open ecosystem, and the role of design and design thinking in creating products that get adopted by millions of users worldwide. Enigma's new podcast "Decentralize This!" features guests from all over the decentralization space: developers, investors, entrepreneurs, researchers, writers, artists, people in government and enterprise - all individuals who care deeply about building a more decentralized and sustainable world. How can all these people with different perspectives collaborate to create and scale the technologies we need to shape a better future? ---- Relevant links: Mechanism Labs: https://mechanismlabs.io SHE256: https://she256.io Enigma: www.enigma.co
