Currently, at Midnight, he is instrumental in developing a cutting-edge data protection blockchain platform. This innovative platform leverages zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to ensure secure computations while maintaining privacy. Kevin's work focuses on designing a domain-specific language (DSL) for smart contracts, creating a compiler targeting JavaScript, and developing a custom virtual machine runtime for on-chain computations. His expertise extends to building support libraries, developer tools, and the overall architecture that drives this privacy-focused blockchain solution. > > > > Kevin has also worked at Google and Deep Mind and, while there, worked on an experimental Python optimizing JIT compiler using the CPython interpreter and runtime. This was open-sourced as S6 (https://github.com/google-deepmind/s6). He also worked on Alphabet-internal Python development tools, including Python static typing and static analysis of Python programs. > > > > 📲 Kevin on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-millikin-89a235/ > > > > ⭐️ If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts.

ENCOINS can be used as any other native asset on Cardano: they can be traded, gifted, or used in other DeFi protocols that support them. They can also be used in ENCOINS Ledger, our upcoming shielded accounts system.

Stablecoins are a tough puzzle to solve. This algo-stablecoin has been functioning without issue for more than 2 years now.
