Episode notes

DYDX is one of the best exchange venues out there that also happens to be decentralized and mobile friendly. It processes two to three billion dollars every day in volume and has 35 perpetual swaps as of this recording. You can trade things like Bitcoin, Doge, Solana and most of the most popular assets with up to 20X leverage in the venue today. And if you're down bad from the bear market, you don't have to worry about gas fees at all because there is no gas fee on Starkware layer two where DYDX is built on.

Cosmos has grown to become one of the largest blockchain ecosystem, with apps and services trading at more than $59 billion market cap

Today on Blockcrunch, we have 2 Cosmos experts to share with us:

The 4 proposed changes of ATOM 2.0

Timeline of upcoming updates
