Motion: Ethereum 1.0 can scale (Uri Klarman vs. Mrinal Manohar)

Today’s session is about enterprise blockchain and features a co-founder of Baseline protocol and CTO of R3. The former is building an enterprise solution on a public blockchain, whereas the latter is doing so on a private blockchain.
