Coinscrum is delighted to welcome back Charles Hoskinson, co-founder and chief executive of IOHK (www.iohk.io) and former CEO of Ethereum along with Steven Sprague, CEO at Rivetz (www.rivetz.com), on 19th July.
Always an engaging speaker who pulls no punches, Charles (www.iohk.io/team/charles-hoskinson/) is in the UK as part of a tour through Europe, which included speaking at the BIP001 conference (www.bip001.com) in Ukraine.
IOHK (www.iohk.io/about) is a cryptocurrency and blockchain research and development company which has more than 70 people (www.iohk.io/team) working for it, based all around the world. It has three academic partnerships, with its academic headquarters at the Blockchain Technology Laboratory at Edinburgh University.

IOHK is undertaking research into many key areas of cryptocurrency development, such as proof of stake, where a team from five universities has produced the first provably secure proof-of-stake protocol (www.iohk.io/research/papers/#XJ6MHFXX) to be peer reviewed.
