There's some possibility that this real world asset thing might scale now. The amount of people who touch that part of it is much, much bigger than say the privacy part. You need a lot more when you're dealing with real world assets to represent a contractual right. And different counter parties are going to want a different level of diligence and all of the stuff. It doesn't strike me as impossible that we might be able to end up in an ecosystem where there are places that attest and agree on like large amounts of data.
This week, Anna catches up with Zaki Manian, co-founder of Iqlusion and Sommelier. They embark on a comprehensive recap of the history of Cosmos to-date, covering all ground since their last interview 2 years ago. They also dive into topics such as the IBC launch, Osmosis, how the ecosystem grew and accelerated up until the Luna crash and how it continues to recover in its next phase.
They then chat about Sommelier and how it has evolved, as well as the concepts of emerging asset types, such as real world assets, and how ZKPs for privacy may finally find a product market fit that could build up real market adoption. You won’t want to miss this one!
