Part 2/8:
The evening's main event focused on the roles and responsibilities of witnesses in the Hive ecosystem, with Archang and Roland P stepping into the spotlight. Archang, a familiar face in the witness community, prepared to face Roland P, his rival. Both witnesses, with years of experience, were ready to unveil the realities and tensions of their work within the blockchain.
Each witness provided a nuanced definition of their roles. Archang humorously described them as “block producers” who validate transactions and maintain the security of the blockchain. Similarly, Roland P explained the backend logistics of running witness nodes, emphasizing the necessity of reliable servers and the complex responsibilities that come with the position.
