In this episode, we’re joined by Patrick O’Grady, Founder of Commonware! We discussed what inspired Commonware, what Commonware aims to solve, and the flexibility it offers to developers. Additionally, we unpacked Patrick’s time at Ava Labs, and the tech stack that Avalanche has built. Finally, we covered how crypto will move past the “TPS Era” and infighting about infrastructure.

Thanks for tuning in!
