▤ Summary

Asensys, a next-generation, high-performance system that brings throughput and capacity to a new, scalable level, is pleased to announce former Executive Vice President of Artificial Intelligence & Research at Microsoft Dr. Harry Shum as an angel investor. Dr. Harry Shum expressed, “Brendon and the Asensys team have developed a system to support the scaled throughput and capacity necessary to realize the promise of the decentralized Web, based on solid peer-reviewed research work on NSDI. “Involvement by such an acclaimed computer scientist is an unbelievable endorsement of the system we have created to address blockchain’s scalability problem and provide a solid infrastructure for the decentralized Web that benefits everyone in the future.” By introducing the novel concept of Asynchronous Consensus Zones, Asensys is able to reduce redundancy of network tasks and process transactions much faster than legacy blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. As the Asensys team continues to develop its novel infrastructure for the decentralized Web, the involvement of Dr. Shum as an eminent technology leader and the former Executive Vice President of Artificial Intelligence & Research at Microsoft represents an important milestone in the project’s rollout and build-up of institutional credibility. Headquartered in Seattle, WA with a global team, Asensys was founded by Dr. Brendon (JiaPing) Wang, whose research has been published in highly-reputed journals, such as ACM/TOG, and who also has been granted many US patents for his work on distributed computing and blockchain systems.
