PolymerDAO - How the IBC Standard Will be Exported to non-Cosmos Chains

✨About PolymerDAO ✨Polymer is a hub chain that converts non-Cosmos chains into single-slot finality Tendermint BFT-speak in order to make them IBC-compatible. In effect, it acts as an IBC bridge between the EVM and IBC ecosystems while cementing IBC as de facto message passing protocol. Where if they succeed, Polymer may help to usher in IBC as the cross-chain communication standard for the industry.🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► Socials: https://twitter.com/polymerdao#interchainjam #ibc #interchainfm #blockchaintech #web3 #cryptocurrency💟 SUPPORT iFMIf you enjoy this content, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to Chjango Unchained's channel.If you stake on Cosmos Hub, Osmosis, Canto, Umee, and/or Comdex, you can support our work by delegating to Interchain.FM🥩!Join Cosmos Chjango's YouTube channel to get access to exclusive perks: / @chjango 📻 SUBSCRIBE to Interchain.FM on your preferred radio stations:👉 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4rlsgAx...👉 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0...👉 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/2... 🐦 OR tune in to Interchain.FM LIVE directly on Twitter at the exact moment we go on air 👉 https://twitter.com/chjango

ZetaChain - an omni-chain L1 aggregator

✨About ZetaChain ✨ZetaChain is a Cosmos-SDK PoS chain that aggregates the state of all of its supported chains like Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Eth L2s, Solana, Terra, and Algorand. It's a smart contract-enabled chain that does wrapping and unwrapping of tokens similarly to wrapped BTC or tBTC to allow for bridge-less trading of wrapped tokens across the Cosmos.🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► GitHub: https://github.com/zeta-chain► Whitepaper: https://www.zetachain.com/whitepaper.pdf#interchainjam💟 SUPPORT iFMIf you enjoy this content, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to Chjango Unchained's channel.If you stake on Cosmos Hub, Osmosis, Canto, Umee, and/or Comdex, you can support our work by delegating to Interchain.FM🥩!Join Cosmos Chjango's YouTube channel to get access to exclusive perks: / @chjango 📻 SUBSCRIBE to Interchain.FM on your preferred radio stations:👉 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4rlsgAx...👉 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0...👉 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/2... 🐦 OR tune in to Interchain.FM LIVE directly on Twitter at the exact moment we go on air 👉 https://twitter.com/chjango

Haseeb Qureshi, Emin Gun Sirer, Chjango Unchained: Will Crypto Survive or will AI eat its lunch?

I sat down with Haseeb Qureshi, MP of Dragonfly Capital, and Emin Gun Sirer, Co-founder of Avalanche, to discuss crypto macro. We ran through a wide range of discussions covering regulations in the US, China, Singapore, HK, and the Middle East before moving on to speculate what will ultimately happen to SBF and Do Kwon. We go in-depth about Balaji's bet against the USD and for Bitcoin. (Hint: neither one of our guests thinks BTC will win out.) And much more! One of the most fun times I've had interviewing our guests.

Quasar

✨About Quasar ✨Quasar is to Cosmos as Yearn is to Ethereum. The difference is, since Quasar is one of the first cross- chain yield aggregators, it will be leveraging Interchain Accounts to do much of the heavy-lifting for optimizing yield strategies that will allow you to farm efficiently across the IBC ecosystem.💟 SUPPORT iFMIf you enjoy this content, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to my channel.If you use Osmosis, Umee, and/or Comdex, you can support by delegating with Interchain.FM🥩!Join Chjango Unchained's YouTube channel to get access to exclusive perks: / @chjango 📻 SUBSCRIBE to Interchain.FM on your preferred radio stations:👉 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4rlsgAx...👉 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0...👉 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/2... 🐦 OR tune in to Interchain.FM LIVE directly on Twitter at the exact moment we go on air 👉 https://twitter.com/chjango

Not clickbait! Squid will revolutionize DeFi, bi-directional trade from EVM to Cosmos in 20 seconds

✨About Squid Router ✨Squid router can be thought of as a bridge and DEX aggregator in one. It uses Axelar under the hood. Axelar is one of the most popular bridging options when you want to bridge between the EVM and IBC ecosystems. If you haven't watched it already, I did two interviews with Sergey, the co-founder of Axelar, so be sure to check those out. Squid does the manual labor of performing each and every hair-tearing step for you when you're migrating an Ethereum native stablecoin, like DAI for example, into the Cosmos ecosystem to trade on a DEX like Osmosis. For you to do this before Squid router, you had to bridge DAI over through Axelar, get it "wrapped" into Cosmos DAI, have it deposited into Osmosis, then perform the swap. Squid abstracts all those steps away. All you need to do is to make one transaction. Because Squid is cross-chain, that makes it the first successful cross-chain DEX aggregator there is.This is one of the most under-the-radar groundbreaking achievement in DeFi—and with low latency like 20 seconds to finality to boot! A must watch! If you don't watch any other part of the episode, I highly recommend skipping to the Demo segment.Guest: Fig🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► Website: https://www.squidrouter.com/💟 SUPPORT iFMIf you enjoy this content, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to my channel.If you use Osmosis, Umee, and/or Comdex, you can support by delegating with Interchain.FM🥩!Join Chjango Unchained's YouTube channel to get access to exclusive perks: / @chjango 📻 SUBSCRIBE to Interchain.FM on your preferred radio stations:👉 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4rlsgAx...👉 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0...👉 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/2... 🐦 OR tune in to Interchain.FM LIVE directly on Twitter at the exact moment we go on air 👉 https://twitter.com/chjango

Zo - Web3 chat app powered by decentralized digital ID seeks to disrupt SMS based identity

✨About Zo ✨Zo is a chat app, like Signal, built with web3 in mind. Despite being in the modern era of social and chat, the underlying infrastructure is frustratingly antiquated. Using SMS to log in to any platform is extremely insecure and it's akin to driving a horse-drawn cart across an interstate highway—antiquated. But with the advent of web3 identity, now you can drive a Tesla across that highway. It's more secure, privacy-preserving, and it gives you your sovereignty back. As in, you don't need to rely on a third party like AT&T to give you your SMS based identity. Zo, as it happens, uses Celestia for its identity layer, and that's the only part about the chat app that utilizes a blockchain.🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► Website: https://zo.me💟 SUPPORT iFMIf you enjoy this content, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to my channel.If you use Osmosis, Umee, and/or Comdex, you can support by delegating with Interchain.FM🥩!Join this channel to get access to perks: / @chjango 📻 SUBSCRIBE to Interchain.FM on your preferred radio stations:👉 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4rlsgAx...👉 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0...👉 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/2... 🐦 OR tune in to Interchain.FM LIVE directly on Twitter at the exact moment we go on air 👉 https://twitter.com/chjango

Near protocol's Blockchain Operating System - An operating system for blockchains. What this means for consumer dApps

✨About Near protocol's Blockchain Operating System ✨ There's the Linux operating system and the iOS, but is there such thing as a blockchain operating system (bOS)? Near is building in that direction. If you are to live in a future world where 99% of consumer applications will be running on decentralized infrastructure, then this must be where it starts. At the very least, you will have decentralized frontends that should not have to rely on centralized servers. The BOS will work with different chains beyond just NEAR like Ethereum, Canto, and Cosmos appchains (Cosmos SDK chains). "The BOS is a 2-sided marketplace where developers and users will meet. Today most features are aimed at builders, but for the end users: you can already use social features, play games, read news and talk to an AI." - Illia Polosukhin Guest: Illia Polosukhin 🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► Website: https://near.org ► Illia's tweet: https://twitter.com/ilblackdragon/sta... ______________ 💟 SUPPORT iFM If you enjoy this content, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to my channel. If you use Osmosis, Umee, and/or Comdex, you can support by delegating with Interchain.FM🥩!

Eclipse - Could 90+% of blockchain activity happen on (zk)rollups within a few years?

✨About Eclipse ✨ There seems to be a Cambrian explosion of alternative VMs (e.g. Move VM, Gno VM, Solana VM, Fuel VM). But the execution layer is not the only layer that's being reimagined. Up until the advent of Celestia, the crypto research space has only ever thought of consensus/security, data availability, and execution as one single monolithic stack—a Layer 1 (L1). In 2023, that all changes. Now there's about to be a Cambrian explosion of Data Availability (DA) layers (e.g. Celestia, Polygon Avail) designed for modular architectures. Eclipse is a flagship project utilizing Celestia DA that implements discrete execution layers (e.g. rollups) that plugs and plays various VMs. Will this model allow the crypto economy to finally scale to onboard its next 100 million users? Will it de-emphasize the underlying base layer, abstracting them away for the end user like how early adopters have always envisioned? 🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► Socials: twitter.com/eclipsefnd ► Meta understanding blog post: https://polynya.medium.com/rollups-da... ► Paradigm research DAS: https://www.paradigm.xyz/2022/08/das ______________ 💟 SUPPORT iFM If you enjoy this content, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to my channel. If you use Osmosis, Umee, and/or Comdex, you can support by delegating with Interchain.FM🥩! Join Chjango Unchained's YouTube channel to get access to exclusive perks:    / @chjango
