From YouTube: Full-Stack Blockchain Consultancy Casper Labs Helps Enterprises With Distributed Ledger Deployments
Description
Blockchain Journal's editor-in-chief David Berlind meets up with Casper Labs CTO Medha Parlikar at the World Economic Forum in Davos to find out more about how enterprises can outsource their distributed ledger deployments to the full-stack blockchain consultancy of which she is a co-founder. As Parlikar explains, full-stack blockchain consultancies like Casper Labs are good for enterprises that know they have a use case for public distributed ledger technology (DLT), but that do not have enough in-house expertise to deploy a solution themselves. In the interview, Parlikar also talks about why fine-grained tracking of permissions and smart contract versioning are two of several features that make Casper public DLT a good choice for enterprise deployments.

A
A
With
blockchain
Journal,
coming
to
you
from
Davos
Switzerland,
where
World
economic
forum
is
in
full
swing
right
now
we're
in
one
of
the
buildings,
that's
along
the
main
Promenade
that
leads
to
the
Congress
Center
a
lot
of
traffic.
A
lot
of
people
walking
up
and
down,
but
standing
with
me
in
this
particular
building
is
meta.
Parlor
car
she's,
the
CTO
of
Casper
Labs
Amanda.
Thanks
for
joining
me
on
the
show.
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
on
yeah,
it's
great
to
have
you
what
is
Casper
Labs
Casper.
B
A
B
A
B
It
means
that
it
has
all
the
features
that
enterprises
need
provided
for
directly
on
the
host.
So
you
don't
have
to
engineer
around
the
blockchain.
The
blockchain
actually
supports
those
needs
of
Enterprise,
which
is
compliance,
better
traceability,
separation
of
concerns.
You
know
more
fine-grained
security
and
permissioning,
that's
all
possible
on
the
protocol.
Okay,.
A
So
when
I
hear
the
phrase
Enterprise
blockchain,
there
is
an
implication
that
other
chains
may
not
be
Enterprise
grade.
You
just
mentioned
a
few
criteria
that
enterprises
are
sensitive
to.
Maybe
we
can
dig
into
a
few
of
those.
What,
for
example,
do
you
mean
by
a
chain
being
Enterprise
grade
in
terms
of
compliance
where
another
chain
might
not
be
that?
Well,.
B
Examine
grain
tracking
of
permissions
right,
so
you
need
a
very
robust
account
model
that
can
say
you
know
person
a
can
do
these
things
and
they
can't
do
other
things
and
person.
B
can
do
these
other
things,
a
person
a
can
do
and
on
all
the
other
blockchains.
You
have
to
put
that
in
your
smart
contracts,
but
Casper
on
the
host.
You
can
actually
control
accounts
when.
A
You
when
you
say
host
you
mean
the
layer,
one
chain
that
that
capability
is
built
into
layer,
one
chain,
somebody's
building,
a
smart
contract.
They
only
have
to
access
the
API
to
unlock
that
capability,
whereas
on
another
chain
they
would
have
to
actually
have
to
actually
build
the
entire
capability
from
scratch.
That's.
B
The
other
one
is
upgradable,
smart
contracts,
where
the
versioning
of
the
smart
contract
is
enforced
by
the
protocol
itself
and
in
other
blockchains
they
use
proxy
contracts
or
they
don't
even
tell
you
when
a
contract's
been
upgraded,
which
is
very,
very
risky.
So
when
you
have
a
new
version
of
software,
you
expect
it
to
have
a
different
version,
we're
all
used
to
that
right.
Latest
version
of
iOS,
the
latest
version
of
Microsoft
Word,
the
blockchain
should
behave
exactly
the
same
way
and
that's
what
Enterprise
expects
and
that's
what
they
need.
Okay,
let's.
B
A
Understanding
is,
is
that
for
Enterprises
that
want
to
build
something
and
one
Enterprise
wouldn't
want
the
ability
to
program
or
customize
something
to
their
liking.
This
is
the
way
to
do
it
like
in
terms
of
programmability
there's
only
one
Avenue,
and
that
is
to
use
Smart
contracts
as
the
basis
of
blockchain
being
an
application
platform.
Is
that
right?
There's.
B
A
lot
of
automation
that
you
can
get
out
of
it
with
guarantees
around
trustlessness
and
transparency
using
the
blockchain
for
multi-party
systems.
You
also
get
fantastic
copyright
protection.
So
when
you
get
copy
protection,
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
you
can
streamline
in
your
business
and
smart
contracts
are
the
avenue
to
do
that.
Right.
A
B
A
See
so
now,
coming
back
to
what
Casper
Labs
does,
if
you
have
an
Enterprise
that
wants
to
take
advantage
of
all
these
capabilities,
but
they're
not
really
comfortable
doing
it
themselves,
Casper
Labs
becomes
the
single
throw
to
choke
in
order
to
get
some
use
case
built
on
top
of
a
smart
contract
on
top
of
the
Casper
blockchain.
That's.
B
That's
exactly
right,
so
our
engineering
team
isn't
just
experts
in
blockchain
they're,
actually
coming
from
Enterprise
software
systems
themselves.
So
what
you'll
find
in
a
lot
of
Arenas
you'll
either
find
Enterprise
software
experience
or
you
will
find
blockchain
experience
we're
a
unique
intersection
of
the
two
and.
A
You
obviously
would
provide
support
as
well,
because
one
of
the
things
you
don't
really
get
with
public
blockchains
out
there
is
support.
It's
not
like
you're.
You
have
a
software
contract
with
Oracle
or
Salesforce,
or
one
of
these
big
software
companies.
There
is
no
software
contract.
So
do
you
take
care
of
the
support
as
well?
We.
B
A
B
Talk
about
how
the
technology
can
solve
problems
right,
we
want
to
Rise
Above,
The
Fray
of
crypto
and
really
start
talking
about
the
underlying
technology
and
that
blockchain
isn't
about
crypto.
Blockchain
is
about
really
uplifting
existing
Technologies
to
provide
greater
trust
and
transparency
and
compliance,
and
we
want
to
support
that
transition
and
work
with
world
leaders
and
governments
and
and
Enterprises
alike,
to
make
it
happen
and.
