Episode notes

The main argument for people who aren't just super big decentralization maxis is of moving from an app specific stark x application versus A cosmos app specific chain. I think running your own validator set and actually incentivizing it is a lot more expensive and difficult of a task to achieve. There are still 10 consumer chains that are eager to use interchange security and the ecosystem is still going to get built out It's just a question of how long will that take? Dan: "I feel like they are going to be the ones bringing value into the cosmos"

In this week's episode of 0xResearch, Antonio Juliano (the founder of dYdX) joins us to discuss dYdX's roadmap and upcoming AppChain. The fallout from FTX has shifted the spotlight to decentralized DEXs, and dYdX is in a perfect position to be the go-to DEX for perpetual trading. Antonio explains why dYdX is building an AppChain, what features to expect, how dYdX approaches MEV, new asset on-ramps and more. Antonio is a DeFi legend, you don't want to miss this one!
