We explore the dynamic relationship between Cosmos and Bitcoin, examining how they can mutually benefit each other. We trace Cosmos' journey since its 2017 launch, its relationship with BabylonChain, and the potential shift of Bitcoin to Proof of Stake. Additionally, we discuss the future interplay of blockchain ecosystems like EVM, Solana, and CosmWasm, and review key concepts like economic finality, restaking, and the Osmosis roadmap. This interview features Sunny Aggarwal, whose history includes working at Tendermint, helping build the Cosmos SDK, IBC, and launching the Cosmos Hub (aka Gaia). He is also the co-founder of Osmosis, the Cosmos DeFi hub.

In this video, Darren Langley, General Manager at Rocket Pool, explains Ethereum staking and liquid staking in under 6 minutes. He discusses the competitive landscape between Rocket Pool, Lido, and Coinbase, and the upcoming Ethereum Shanghai upgrade that will allow potentially unstaking $33.8 billion worth of ETH. After the upgrade, it is expected that Ethereum's staking ratio will increase to around 40%, which could benefit liquid staking providers like Rocket Pool. Darren also talks about the role and functions of RPL as a backstop collateral and incentivization mechanism for staking. With the release of Atlas, the barrier of entry for staking has been lowered from 16 ETH to 8 ETH for node operators.
