An In-Depth Dive into the Ethereum Protocol

Presented at Nuit du Hack 2016, July 2, 2016, 3:30 p.m. (45 minutes).

This talk will attempt to familarize the reader with what is Ethereum and how it achieves its mission of being both a decentralized ledger protocol and a platform for smart contracts.

We will have a short introduction to the basic concepts of Ethereum and then take a deep dive into the core Protocol and its Virtual Machine.

We will keep going by talking about what happened with the hack of Etherum, how the DAO has been taken down , what has been compromised and how we work to fix everything.
