Episode description

Alejo Pinto, the Chief Growth Officer at the Apotos-based Pontem Network, a former growth specialist at IBM, and the man trying to break Solidity's monopoly. Despite being one of the first and widely used blockchain-native programming languages, Ethereum’s Solidity is often compared to JavaScript. While it’s perfectly functional and can serve its purpose, large institutions are unlikely to build their mission-critical applications, mainly due to its susceptibility to security vulnerabilities. To offer a more robust institutional-grade alternative, Pontem has built Lumio, a high-performance Layer-2 protocol based on Move VM — which was initially developed to provide a link between the highly regulated Diem ecosystem and the rest of the [email protected] world. By leveraging Move VM, Lumio effectively addresses numerous security limitations of Solidity and Rust. Pontem aims to break the existing Solidity monopoly — enabling organizations building on Aptos — including Google Cloud, Mastercard, Microsoft, and Aptos' investor Franklin Templeton — to seamlessly deploy on Ethereum without constraints.
