The role of the relayer is something I'm kind of curious, like did you already envision how that would happen or had you thought of incentives for relayers? And maybe just to describe to the listeners like there is this agent that's helping to move things across from different zones over IBC, but that often are not compensated. Right. Do you think the role, like now that it is live and it's been live, the role of therelayer isSomething I'm kind Of Curious about Is Bitcoin a better way to make sure everyone gets paid if they do business with each other? Yes. No. It doesn't mean we're going to stop paying people who want to work
This week, host Anna Rose and co-host Tarun Chitra catch up with Chris Goes from Heliax, the team behind Anoma and Namada. They start with a quick retrospective about IBC, a project he formerly worked on, and how the protocol has evolved since it launched.
They dive into the concept of 'intents', exploring their origin, evolution, and discuss the intent-based systems that exist today. As well, they chat about the architectures enabled by a generalized intent-based infrastructure, the potential impacts on user experience, and the inherent trade-offs, particularly when zero-knowledge or privacy aspects are added to the mix.
