The post Project Babbage demonstrates interoperable solutions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Blockchain promises many solutions to many problems, and what is usually envisioned by mass blockchain adoption is that the technology underpins (and as a result, improves) many of the processes vital to everyday life. All-encompassing as this vision is, it’s clear that the ability of these promised solutions to integrate with other systems (and even each other) is a necessity. In other words, interoperability is key. This was the topic of one of the earlier sessions at the London Blockchain Conference on Day 2: Exploring the Future of Identity, Contracts, and Assets on the MetaNet. Four technologists from the promising start-up Project Babbage participated: Ty Everett, founding president Michael Baefox, Chief Design Officer Brayden Langley, Chief Technology Officer Tone Engel, Lead Engineer Project Babbage is a multi-service offering that focuses on distributed identity solutions, enabling users to own their own identities and data. The Babbage session was, in essence, a deep dive on the more technical side of blockchain utilization. The talk was broken into three broad categories: Identity. Smart Contracts. Assets. First order of business was a discussion on identity. For this, Everett invited his Chief of Design Michael BaeFox onto the stage. BaeFox started with an admission: ‘Michale BaeFox isn’t my real name. I’m acting through a pseudonym.’ “It’s not my intention to deceive you in any way. To be transparent, it’s a tactic to show to something about anonymity. When we act anonymously, we are not necessarily credible. I don’t know how much we think about that when we use the web today,” says BaeFox. “Privacy is a very important thing on the internet,” said Everett. “We share more than we want to on these platforms.
