| As best as you can given currently available information, please describe the value proposition of the Elixxir platform and how it differs from other current blockchain solutions. | Would like to see Elixxir's the decentralized randomized algorithm being implemented and solve current scalability and privacy concerns. |
| Privacy by Default is a goal of the Elixxir Platform. In your opinion, why is Privacy by Default critical for the future of the internet? | Users should have the freedom to choose where their data resides and who is allowed to access it.
