040: The New Blockchain Business Model – with Nodesmith's Brendan Lee

Brendan Lee is the CEO & Co-Founder of Nodesmith. He holds a master's degree in Computer Science, and has spent much of his career building developer platforms.

In this episode, Brendan and I discuss:

• The complexities around running a full node and how Nodesmith solves that problem
• We go over some of the concerns developers and engineers may have. For example, if you outsource your full node, who controls the keys? Or, what are Nodesmith's API standards?
• And, from an economic perspective, we look at the Nodesmith business model – "Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)"
