Wazat is completely bespoke, mostly so that we can integrate all of these optimizations. To keep gravity bridge simple and very robust, we sort of reduced the desin scope as much as possible. This has resulted in cosmoses deca chains that use that use gravity bridge,. It's quickly becoming the most common type of etherium bridge on bridge on cosmos.
This week, Anna chats with Deborah Simpier and Justin Kilpatrick, co-founders of Althea and the team working on Gravity Bridge. They start with the history of the Althea project and how they aim to build an open marketplace for independent entities to create their own ISPs, providing bandwidth to users in under-connected areas. They then dive into the larger topic of bridges and the work being done on Gravity Bridge – a bridge that links Ethereum with IBC and the Cosmos ecosystem. They touch on the larger bridge landscape in Cosmos, the new initiatives and challenges that come with a multichain architecture, the opportunities and hazards of the current wave of stakedrop airdrops in Cosmos, Gravity's roadmap and more!

ZKValidator is hosting a Privacy in Cosmos event in Amsterdam on April 15th. Free to sign up here.
zkSummit is back on April 21 for a one-day in-person event in Amsterdam! Must apply here to attend. Spots are limited.
Today’s episode is sponsored by Aleo.
Aleo is a new Layer-1 blockchain that uses cutting edge cryptography to achieve the programmability of Ethereum, the privacy of Zcash, and the scalability of a rollup.
It also features a new programming language called Leo that enables non-cryptographers to harness the power of ZKPs to build private applications. Roll up your sleeves and visit leo-lang.org to start building.
Aleo will also be participating in ZPrize – a competition accelerating the future of zero-knowledge cryptography. Visit zprize.io to learn more!
