Jack Zampolin, self-realization, Cypherpunks & product management

In this episode, we talk to Jack Zampolin, co-founder of Sommelier finance & Strangelove validator. Sommelier is a bet that Ethereum will be a dominant player in the global economy. Sommelier consists of the Cosmos Stargate SDK, its Tendermint-based consensus layer and a decentralized, bi-directional Ethereum bridge, managed by a global network of validators. Strangelove Validation Services operates a secure validator node on the Cosmos network. Strangelove has been running the hub software (starting with testnets) since the summer of 2018.

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.
