In 2017, Vitalik Buterin defined the ‘Scalability Trilemma’ which consisted of 3 attributes that every blockchain had to balance depending on its intended use cases: decentralisation, scalability and security. While Ethereum sacrificed scalability in favour of security and decentralisation, others prioritised throughput over the other two. However, a solution was proposed, inspired from Web2 computer science - sharding. Despite the fact that Ethereum’s ossification and significant progress in zero knowledge research led to a shift in Ethereum’s roadmap away from execution sharding towards L2 rollups, there were other L1s that were designed from the get-go as sharded blockchains. One such example was Elrond, who implemented the beacon chain PoS consensus alongside a sharded execution layer. Their recent rebranding to MultiversX alludes to a multi-chain, interoperable ecosystem, in which sovereign chains can communicate in a similar manner to cross-shard transaction routing.

Topics discussed in this episode:
- Lucian’s background and founding Elrond (MultiversX)
- Elrond’s validator & shard architecture
- Cross-shard composability
- VMs, smart contracts and transaction routing
- Self sovereignty and modularity
- MultiversX vision
- Roadmap

AI For International Expansion

Welcome to "AI with Shaily"! 🌟 I'm Shailendra Kumar, your enthusiastic guide through the fascinating realm of artificial intelligence. Here, we explore the latest trends and insights in AI, sprinkled with my personal experiences and expert advice. 

Today, we're focusing on the essentials of MLOps best practices, specifically tailored for beginners eager to find their footing in this intricate field. Imagine stepping into a bustling engine room, where each component plays a vital role in the overall operation—this is your MLOps environment! 🛠️

We begin our journey by establishing clear paths with defined business objectives and SMART goals. Think of this as plotting a detailed roadmap for a cross-country adventure—specific destinations, measurable milestones, and time-bound checkpoints are crucial to aligning with your organizational ambitions. 🗺️

Next, we dive into the core of our engine room: data management and naming conventions. Visualize a perfectly organized library, where every book is easily accessible. This meticulous organization is essential in MLOps, especially when we consider the principle that "Changing Anything Changes Everything" (CACE). 📚

As we progress, selecting the right models and tools becomes paramount. This step is akin to assembling the ideal toolkit for our journey. Just as different terrains require various vehicles, each model is uniquely suited to our data and CI/CD pipeline. Tools like Kubernetes serve as the robust vehicles that manage our deployment journey. 🚗

Continuous monitoring acts as our reliable compass throughout the MLOps journey. Regular evaluations help us stay on course, ensuring our well-oiled machine remains efficient and effective. Methods like the ML Test Score become our guiding stars, illuminating the path ahead. 🧭

Collaboration is the heartbeat of our engine room, keeping everything in sync. Platforms like Cookiecutter data science build strong connections between teams, ensuring that data scientists, ML engineers, and DevOps experts work together seamlessly. 🤝

Finally, envision a vast reservoir capable of holding every bit of data we gather. Scalable data infrastructure is crucial for managing extensive datasets efficiently, with tools like MinIO ready to handle large volumes of data with speed and accuracy. 🌊

As we wrap up, remember this key takeaway: when mastering MLOps, always build your foundation with scalable and adaptable practices that can grow with your evolving needs. 

Before we part ways, I’d like to leave you with a thought: "The bridge between ones and zeros must be lit with collaboration, adaptability, and foresight." 🔗 Join me on social media platforms like YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Medium to share your insights, subscribe for regular AI updates, and leave your comments.
