Ep 71Ex-Twitter Exec Joins Osmosis Labs to Take DeFi to the Next 100M Users
Guest: Rob Benson Rob Benson was previously Sr. Dir. of Engineering at Twitter right before Twitter rocketed into the pockets of 450M users. He recently joined Osmosis Labs to head up engineering to bring the promise of DeFi into the hands of the next hundreds of millions of the unbanked. Rob onboarded the Cosmos ecosystem rapidly, donning his very own Bad Kid and met all the players at his first Cosmoverse in Medellin, Colombia. Tune in for war stories about the very early days of Twitter.

Ep 70Babylon - How Babylon Will Turn Bitcoin into the Cosmos Settlement Layer
✨About Babylon ✨ Babylon chain offers checkpointing to the Bitcoin blockchain for Cosmos appchains. This can possibly reduce the standard 14-day unbonding period you must wait to securely unbond from any Tendermint-based chain by leveraging the security of the Bitcoin blockchain. Does this potentially turn Bitcoin into the de facto settlement layer for Cosmos where there wasn't one before?

Ep 69Sei Network - lets you build high throughput DEXs on its base layer
✨About Sei ✨ Sei is a Cosmos-based platform that enables dApps, specifically DEX applications, to be hosted on its layer 1. It offers high throughput and data availability for the DEXs that run on it. Sei leverages the power of parallelization and transaction batching in the mempool through Narwhal in order to achieve the high TPS that it promises to the exchange logic that depend on it. This is a deep dive into the technicals so strap in.

Ep 68Canto DEX - liquidity rails but make it public
✨About Canto✨ Canto is a decentralized exchange built with Cosmos SDK that runs the EVM on its execution layer. The primary difference between Canto and most other DEXs is that it doesn't charge the user LP fees to make swaps, which means that LPs don't earn additional swap fees. This is in line with Canto's vision of providing an exchange as a public service rather than as a private enterprise. From Messari: - Canto is a general-purpose Proof-of-Stake blockchain that embeds a decentralized exchange, lending market, and overcollateralized currency into the network. - These three core DeFi primitives are offered to users as Free Public Infrastructure — public utilities that are free to use in perpetuity. - Canto’s design choices represent a radically different approach to building blockchain applications that could catalyze an organic wave of developer adoption. However, a concentrated token distribution and reliance on liquidity mining could hinder the network’s long-term growth. Two important trends are occurring across crypto right now: Blue-chip DeFi application business models are converging. Rather than offering a single service in isolation, protocols are beginning to package exchange, lending, and stablecoin services together in one unified stack. Applications are choosing to leave generalized smart contract networks to create their own application-specific blockchains. While this approach forces applications to bootstrap their own network security, it allows for greater customizability and control over network incentives. Canto is an experimental smart contract network that combines both of these ideas together. Built on the Cosmos SDK, Canto is a general-purpose Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that embeds a decentralized exchange (DEX), lending market, and overcollateralized currency into the network. Canto views these three core DeFi primitives as public goods that should be offered to users for free. Altogether, Canto provides a unique approach to both application and network design that is aligned with the permissionless ethos of public blockchains. 🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► App: https://canto.io/ ______________ 💟 SUPPORT iFM If you enjoy this content, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to my channel.

Ep 67dYdX - Largest derivatives DEX in DeFi picks Cosmos over ETH scaling solution for scaling?
✨About dYdX ✨ dYdX is a perpetuals DEX that started on an ETH L2, Starkware, that has since made the strategic decision to migrate their DEX to becoming fully onchain. Because Cosmos allows dYdX to customize the product experience for their users while achieving the scalability needed for the volume their users demand, they picked Cosmos as the clear winning stack. dYdX is the largest derivatives exchange in DeFi in terms of volume, having over $300M DAV, which merits the need to move onto its own sovereign appchain.

Ep 66Interchain name service - How crypto wallets can unlock web3 access via sovereign digital identities
✨About ICNS ✨ How will onchain digital identities like your ENS, ICNS (Interchain Nameservice), Handshake names and the like become your gateway into what lies ahead in Web3 UX? When a new person gets onramped into crypto, they all have to download wallets. What if your wallet will no longer be "just a wallet", the same way your phone, at the turn of the 2000s, was no longer "just a phone"—it became your access to the internet as you know it. Well, we're right at the precipice of yet another similarly paradigm-shifting moment as Web2 evolves into Web3. Guest: Josh Lee, aka "Dogemos", co-founder of Chainapsis, the startup behind Keplr wallet, the Interchain wallet

Ep 65Haseeb Qureshi, Emin Gun Sirer, Chjango Unchained - Will Crypto Survive or will AI eat its lunch?
I sat down with Haseeb Qureshi, MP of Dragonfly Capital, and Emin Gun Sirer, Co-founder of Avalanche, to discuss crypto macro. We ran through a wide range of discussions covering regulations in the US, China, Singapore, HK, and the Middle East before moving on to speculate what will ultimately happen to SBF and Do Kwon. We go in-depth about Balaji's bet against the USD and for Bitcoin. (Hint: neither one of our guests thinks BTC will win out.) And much more!

Ep 64Skip protocol - Frontrunning the frontrunners? MEV Flashbots for the Cosmos
✨About Skip Protocol ✨ Skip protocol can be likened to flashbots of the interchain. With mainnet outposts deployed on juno and evmos so far, they're getting ahead of the specter of mev seekers profiteering risk-free in attempts to pillage the value from within the cosmos network. Here's a deep dive into how Skip redistributes mev profits across a more distributed set of validators while securing the interchain.

Ep 63ATOM 2.0 - Why the Founder of Cosmos Opposes a Proposal to Improve $ATOM Utility
ATOM 2.0 is the latest and greatest development to come out of Cosmos as of late. It proposes an updated roadmap for $ATOM, the token housed on the Cosmos Hub. So why does the very creator of Cosmos, the visionary behind BFT Proof-of-Stake itself, vehemently oppose this new roadmap for the Cosmos Hub? We explore what's at stake for the future of Cosmos, what are the good parts of Prop 82, as well as legitimate criticisms of some bad parts that have a rising number of people concerned. There's a lot to unpack and if you're unsure about how to vote or would like to think deeper about what's being proposed, then this episode is for you! Also, is Jae Kwon officially back in action?

Ep 62Circle - Native $USDC Comes to Cosmos Amid Silicon Valley Bank Uncertainty
✨About USDC ✨ $USDC is the second most liquid stablecoin that powers crypto asset-to-stablecoin swaps for both CeFi and DeFi protocols alike. USDC will be a keystone stablecoin for the Interchain, especially as it emerges from the ashes of the $UST de-peg. As part of the go-to-market plan, Circle will be issuing USDC from an asset issuance chain, secured by Cosmos Hub Interchain Security. If you're not familiar with Interchain Security, I recommend you to watch a primer about it under the Chjango Unchained YouTube episode with Sunny Aggarwal covering Mesh Security vs Interchain Security. 🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► Primer (Mesh Security vs Interchain Security): • Sunny Aggarwal Ex... ► Circle's USDC Website: https://www.circle.com/en/usdc ► Announcement: https://twitter.com/circle/status/157... ______________ 💟 SUPPORT iFM If you enjoy this content, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to my channel.

Ep 61Interchain Accounts - Deep Dive: Understand ICA in Under 30 Min
✨About Interchain Accounts ✨ ICA unlocks a greater surface area for designing cross-chain applications. Cross-chain TXs currently speak very basic language: token swaps. But by being able to control an account of another chain, you can potentially unlock a vibrant multichain world of dynamic DAO management, file transfers, KYC-less identity verification, and whatever else imaginable. We're only getting started.

Ep 60Sunny Aggarwal Explains the Difference between Mesh Security vs Atom 2.0 Interchain Security
✨About mesh security✨ It's just an idea for now! Mesh security is a bi-lateral agreement between two chains agreeing to secure the other chain with its native staking token. Network topology of a mesh secured network looks like a distributed set of chains rather than hub and spoke, arguably a more decentralized architecture. 🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► Blog post ELI5: https://medium.com/osmosis/blockchain... ______________ 💟 SUPPORT iFM If you enjoy this content, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to my channel.

Ep 54Wynd - an autocompounder to double your staking APY & lower unbonding period to 0 days
✨About Wynd ✨ Wynd is a smart contract that autocompounds your staking yield so that you can set it and forget it. Any CosmWasm-enabled layer 1 blockchain that has Wynd smart contract deployed can offer this feature to its users. This new dApp can lower your unbonding time to 0 while allowing you to maximize your rewards by abusing a neat mathematical trick as long as there is no mass unbonding event. Good ideas shared in this interview: extending the potential for DAOs to address social impact through ReFi (Regenerative Finance) initiatives. DAOs have the power, capital, and time to invest into moonshots like solving the hard problems that governments and NGOs have failed to solve. Mind-bending ideas shared here: how the emergence of AI will change how blockchains (and human capital) are going to be used by machines.🔗 Useful Links 🔗► Website: https://docs.wynddao.com/ ► Airdrop claim: https://airdrop.wynddao.com/ ► CosmWasm Academy: https://academy.cosmwasm.com/ ► Docs: https://book.cosmwasm/com/ ______________ 💟 SUPPORT iFM If you enjoy this content, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to my channel.

Ep 50WosmosNFT - Osmosis Alpha Leak: Native Wosmongton NFTs & NFT Marketplace $OSMO
✨About WosmosNFTs✨ Many of you long-time listeners of this show are well familiar with the iconic Wosmongton figurehead—the mad scientist of the Osmosis Lab. Well, to no one's surprise, this in-demand icon will be turned into a native NFT PFP (profile pic) project to Osmosis. There's a caveat though. Unlike your garden variety NFT PFP jpeg collection, the WosmosNFT collection will be—you guessed it—gamified. The twist is that you will be able to mine test tubes, mix them together, and level up your base Wosmongton. There will be built-in game mechanics that make this NFT highly addictive. You've been warned. As you may guess, some items are rarer than others. There will be elements of randomness to it, but one thing's for sure—the more you play and level up, the more legendary your Wosmo's inventory of attributes will grow. Our guest today is Motivating Jean. He contributes to this project. At this stage of the interview, WosmosNFTs are obviously in the alpha stages of development so it shouldn't be taken as a production-ready project. As always, Interchain.FM can cover projects even at their earliest stages so that you're receiving some of the earliest alpha.🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► Socials: https://twitter.com/osmosisnfts ______________ 💟 SUPPORT iFM If you enjoy this content, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to my channel.

Ep 48Cosmos Q&A - How Kevin Smith can Disrupt Hollywood's Model
Kevin Smith recently announced his launch of his "Killroy Was Here" NFT collection, slated to mint on Secret Network. The big idea? The pain point that many Hollywood directors have had with Hollywood has long been about Hollywood taking the lion's share of the profits on any successful film they produce. Meanwhile, their fanbase get a cut of none of the profits while they get a small percentage of the royalties. But what if directors and indie filmmakers alike can one day utilize the power of NFTs to do an ICO of sorts, thereby creating a public sale of their upcoming film, and take a share of the profits of that film while cutting out the middle man, Hollywood? In this way, the people directly involved with making the movie get a larger share of the profits while their most ardent fanbase can also take part in the profit-sharing. This is the biggest live alpha leakage of this bear market. The mainstream will be fomo'ing into come time for the next bull run. Glimpse into the future of entertainment!

Ep 47Legendao - Hollywood will be radically disrupted in the next 5 years because of this technology
A new platform built on Secret Network specialized in minting NFTs. An early pioneer of this technology, Quentin Tarantino, followed by Kevin Smith, are proving that Legendao could be the choice platform for minting and trading NFTs that will be used to democratize the movie making process. While Hollywood traditionally takes the lion's share of the cut of profits and maintains a very tight-knit and closed industry, the thesis of Secret Labs posits that NFTs, like ICOs, could be used to break open this industry to allow the public to seed new indie movies and participate in the future profits of such new movies. This model and novel way of utilizing NFTs, if successful, sets to disrupt Hollywood and the indie filmmaking industry as we know it.
