Interchain special: Amir Taaki, cyberpunks, DeFi & social credit

In this interchain special episode of Citizen Cosmos we talk with Amir Taaki, founder of DarkFi, an anonymous DeFi network bridged to Ethereum. DarkFi is an anonymous DeFi network. Its objective is to offer flexible private primitives that can be wielded to create any kind of application. DarkFi uses advances in zero-knowledge cryptography and creates a contracting language and developer toolkits aimed to make anonymous engineering highly accessible to developers. Anonymity as a design space has been hitherto unexplored. DarkFi is blowing the door to this wide open. In the open air of a fully dark, anonymous system, cryptocurrency has the potential to birth new technological concepts. This can be a creative, regenerative space – the dawn of a Dark Renaissance.

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.
