Sergey Nazarov discusses the potential applications of smart contracts and blockchain technology. He explains that smart contracts can be used to enforce accountability in all forms of conflict, and that this technology holds great potential for transforming the way governments and businesses operate.

00:00:00 Sergey Nazarov discusses Chainlink, a decentralized oracle network, and smart contracts. He also touches on the concept of fidelity, and how it relates to the physical and digital worlds. He mentions a paper by 20-30 years ago that explored the idea of a simulated reality, and how it could affect our view of life. He also mentions the Matrix movie and how its themes of ignorance vs. knowledge were explored. Nazarov believes that if the experience of the digital world is as good as the physical world, then we would be happy with that. He doesn't think that we need to strictly adhere to fidelity when it comes to the digital world, as long as our perceptual experiences are unchanged.
00:05:00 Sergey Nazarov discusses the concept of "definitive truth" and how it differs from the truth that we experience in our everyday lives. He also discusses the importance of truth in human civilization and how it affects our ethical decisions.
00:10:00 In this video, Sergey Nazarov explains the concept of "definitive truth" and how it relates to the digital age. He says that definitive truth exists somewhere between objective truth and just making something up. He explains that this concept is important for commerce and smart contracts because they need an upgrade from someone who can unilaterally decide what the truth is to two where conditions can be defined where the truth is agreed upon. He also says that there is already a lot of data in the world and that makes it easier to form proofs and provide them to blockchain systems.

01:15:00 Sergey Nazarov discusses chainlink, smart contracts, and oracle networks in this Lex Fridman podcast. He says that while smart contracts can be used to execute agreements, there is a need for data to be able to create definitive truth to settle the contract. He also says that the insurance industry is a precursor to this because they are using data-driven fees.
01:20:00 Sergey Nazarov discusses chainlink, smart contracts, and oracle networks, discussing the need for trust and the problems that can arise from lack of it. He recommends using autonomous contracts and code with oracle networks to overcome these trust issues.

01:30:00 The video discusses the concept of trust in smart contracts and how it can be minimized. It also discusses the traditional "brand-based" model of trust and the "paper guarantee" model. Sergey Nazarov describes a "trust minimization" model where contracts are written in a way that removes the need for trust.
01:35:00 Sergey Nazarov discusses how a brand-based paper guarantee model, which has never been available before, could replace traditional agreements. He compares this model to smart contracts and blockchain networks, and explains how a consensus process is achieved.
01:40:00 Sergey Nazarov discusses the potential for smart contracts and oracle networks to revolutionize the banking industry. He notes that banks are slow to adapt, but that new competitors may emerge to take advantage of the trend.
