I want to shift a little bit to another topic that I wanted to cover in this episode. And that's kind of revisiting, you'd sort of mentioned that episode, the first episode of the year. In that episode, we talked about these like asset types. And Tarun had this really nice like kind of history and year by year on what kind of asset types were important. After that episode came out, for me at least literally the day after everyone around me was like, real world asset.
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!
