Ethan Frey, values, engagement & the interchain

In this episode, we talk to Ethan Frey, founder & CEO of CosmWasm and Tgrade. CosmWasm allows you to build robust dApps, on secure, multi-chain smart contracts. It is built using Cosmos-SDK/Tendermint and Rust. This allows your contracts to run on multiple chains, utilizing IBC (InterBlockchian Communication Protocol). Tgrade is labeled as the Bigbang of Regulated Blockchain technology., with a vision for self-sovereign groups, bound by their local jurisdiction and regulations, trading P2P programmable financial instruments. It is a self-sovereign framework which ensures the principle of decentralization. Institutions within a given jurisdiction can each a self-sovereign group and ensure they comply with their local regulations. On-chain financial instruments controlled by self-sovereign groups, and on-chain governance complying with corresponding off-chain regulations, is the key solution. Confio, the key contributor to both - Tgrade and CosmWasm, is developing blockchain technology, decentralized business models and in re-thinking finance Ethan's GitHub We spoke to Ethan about CosmWasm and: How to manage multiple projects Confio and their role CosmWasm at the infrastructure level Value propositions for the interchain The role of blockchain DeFi and market fit Tgrade and Proof of engagement DAOs and more DAOs The non-monetary values of blockchains Regulations in the decentralized world If you like what we do at Citizen Cosmos: Stake with Citizen Cosmos validator Help support the project via Gitcoin Grants Listen to the YouTube version Read our blog Check out our GitHub Join our Telegram Follow us on Twitter Sign up to the RSS feed Special Guest: Ethan Frey.Links:AltheaAvalancheConfioCosmosCosmWasmEthereumIrisNetJunoPersistenceProof of engagementProvenanceRegen NetworkRustStargateTendermintTerraTgradeTgrade blogTgrade constitutionTgrade DiscordTgrade twitterTgrade WP

Om Podcasten

Citizen Web3 provides infrastructure services as a validator across the blockchain space. It is one of the oldest web3 podcasts in the space and a community of like-minded people. Our flagship product (in the making): www.validatorinfo.com is a dashboard and an explorer that helps you to discover validators across the space. We believe in the power of decentralized communities and the potential of blockchains to build a better world. For us blockchains are not just digital technologies, but they are similar to natural hives, forests, and patterns in the environment that allow us to communicate better. We value security, decentralization, privacy, and lack of enforcement. Open and verifiable blockchains should be viewed as digital nations and that our role is to help build and bring value to these nations.
