Maciej Baj, founder and CTO at T3RN protocol was a special guest on this HackerNoon podcast. With host Utsav Jaiswal, Maciej discussed the need for smart contract interoperability (making smart contracts blockchain-agnostic), what’s happening in the space, and how far we've come in terms of crypto-adoption and DeFi proliferation.

They also discussed the Ethereum ecosystem, the difference between UTXO accounting (Bitcoin blockchain) and the Account-based wallets (Ethereum Blockchain), and why both fill different needs for decentralized financial operations and innovation. Watch the video here:
