Episode notes

Dan: Overall the change is pretty bad for validators so like if i'm running a validator now i'm probably charging a little feed to my stakers. One caveat which is that the emission rate goes down so heavily they might be able to fight against and that might make for an easier fight than fighting against the whole thing. Dan: I just wonder do you have any thoughts on that Dan because you're way more in the weeds on cosmos than i amYeah, actually exactly rightso this basically broke down to like the largest members of the core team voting yes and some of the larger validators actually voting no uh no with veto.

In this week's episode of 0xResearch, we bring on Westie and Matt Fiebach to discuss FTX's implosion, the impending fallout and how this affects the broader ecosystem. We then debate Cosmos 2.0, dYdX's AppChain thesis and the importance of native USDC on Cosmos. Is Cosmos gmi or is it just a great idea with bad execution? Tune in to find out!
