Apex Crypto Insights on Quant: The Operating System Linking Old Finance to Blockchain

Um, so Gilbert Verdian, the, the founder of Quant, is one of the top cybersecurity experts in the world, and he understood that to get the adoption of blockchain you couldn't keep building these layer one, layer two, layer three.

You needed to build an operating system like Microsoft did for the information age.

So it was Microsoft Windows that allowed us technically to adopt the internet.

It was, it was that kind of that portal, that big red button that allowed us to...

It's almost like everybody knew there was an internet world and, and nobody could get there, and Microsoft gave us big red button, boom, you're on the internet, and then started building applications over the internet kind of.

So, uh, it's my understanding.

But Gilbert Verdian is kind of doing the same thing Microsoft did for the internet.

And so what it does, he's created an overlay and allows all the legacy systems that exist.

And legacy system means they cannot speak to blockchain.

So what I was kind of missing when I started my journey about nine years ago, I didn't understand until I started really listening to Gilbert Verdian, is that these legacy systems, like all these industries that exist today, whether it's agricultural, aerospace, you know, uh, supply chain management, name the industry, healthcare, they're all...

Their database is software.

Everything they're using is legacy system, meaning they cannot connect to blockchain and you can't shut them down, right? Some of these industries took 50 years, 100 years to build.

You can't just shut them down.

So he understood you needed to b- build an operating system to merge this world, the legacy systems and all these industries, to bring them to blockchain.

And but not only need to bring them securely, you know, with almost zero lines of code and instantly, you also need to be...

They also need to be able to use multiple blockchains at the same time.

They can't be siloed into one blockchain, right? 'Cause r- regardless of the use cases that you're working with, you n- you're gonna need...

There's different s- uh, processes along the line.

Like supply chain management.

Okay, for supply chain management if you build a smart contract on Ethereum, then what? What about settling transaction? What about monitoring where your product is? Like, there's different steps along the journey, so you need to be able to pick the best features of each blockchain and build what is called an MDapp, a multi-chain application.

So trying to adopt blockchain without adopting...

Like, without using Quant is almost like having the internet and only having access to one website.

Yeah.

You know, you get an internet provider say, "Oh, we'll, we'll give you a great deal.

It's only a dollar per month, but choose your website wisely 'cause you can only have one website.
