In this inaugural episode of XCH Coffee, we discuss an overview of Chia, a new blockchain platform designed to improve upon Bitcoin's and Ethereum's shortcomings. We cover Chia's core features, including its Proof of Space and Time consensus mechanism and novel coin set model. In the second half, we examine Chia's vision for becoming the dominant blockchain platform for financial infrastructure and how the unique company structure of Chia Network can help them achieve that.

Editor's correction (2024/10/07): In this episode mentioned that Chia Network Inc. is a public company, this is not true. As of the time of this correction, Chia Network Inc. has filed a draft S-1 with the SEC to do an IPO but has not yet become a public company.
