Episode notes

This week, Taruna and I chat with Sunny and Dave all about osmosis. Osmosis is a Cosmo zone slash DEX that uses IBC to allow enabled assets to be traded, pooled, and staked. We talk about their journey to osmosis, what this means for the Cosmos Hub,. They aim to provide an MEV solution that differs from the one proposed by the Flashbots team. The ZK validator, the project running validators on some key L1 POS networks, is also now running on osmotic.

This week, Anna and Tarun chat with Sunny Aggarwal and Dev Ojha about their new project Osmosis, an AMM built into the Cosmos ecosystem using the IBC interoperability protocol.

Osmosis brings some interesting innovations to the AMM table, starting from the seamless IBC integration to customizable bonding curves and per-pool governance to promote experimentation. Sunny and Dev are also very passionate about the topic of MEV, diving into the various types of value extraction, how MEV is mitigated on other networks and how it could be largely eliminated on Osmosis through threshold cryptography.
