Episode 89: The Center of Online Attention, with Cent Network

On this episode of BlockChannel, McKie continues his journey of solo hosting and brings back an old favorite on the show, Cameron Hejazi of the Cent Network. Cent has been a pioneer in the Ethereum ecosystem since 2017 with the launch of their micropayments focused social network.

As we ramp up for the next stage of innovation in crypto, Cameron is back to give us insights into what comes next.
