Babylon - How Babylon Will Turn Bitcoin into the Cosmos Settlement Layer

✨About Babylon ✨ Babylon chain offers checkpointing to the Bitcoin blockchain for Cosmos appchains. This can possibly reduce the standard 14-day unbonding period you must wait to securely unbond from any Tendermint-based chain by leveraging the security of the Bitcoin blockchain. Does this potentially turn Bitcoin into the de facto settlement layer for Cosmos where there wasn't one before? Guest: David Tse 🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► Primer: https://blog.cosmos.network/consensus... ► Socials: https://twitter.com/babylon_chain ______________ 💟 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🥩! _____________ 📻 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

Sei Network - lets you build high throughput DEXs on its base layer

✨About Sei ✨ Sei is a Cosmos-based platform that enables dApps, specifically DEX applications, to be hosted on its layer 1. It offers high throughput and data availability for the DEXs that run on it. Sei leverages the power of parallelization and transaction batching in the mempool through Narwhal in order to achieve the high TPS that it promises to the exchange logic that depend on it. This is a deep dive into the technicals so strap in. Guest speaker: Jay Jog 🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► Socials: https://twitter.com/SeiNetwork ______________ 💟 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🥩! _____________ 📻 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

Canto DEX - liquidity rails but make it public

✨About Canto✨ Canto is a decentralized exchange built with Cosmos SDK that runs the EVM on its execution layer. The primary difference between Canto and most other DEXs is that it doesn't charge the user LP fees to make swaps, which means that LPs don't earn additional swap fees. This is in line with Canto's vision of providing an exchange as a public service rather than as a private enterprise. From Messari: - Canto is a general-purpose Proof-of-Stake blockchain that embeds a decentralized exchange, lending market, and overcollateralized currency into the network. - These three core DeFi primitives are offered to users as Free Public Infrastructure — public utilities that are free to use in perpetuity. - Canto’s design choices represent a radically different approach to building blockchain applications that could catalyze an organic wave of developer adoption. However, a concentrated token distribution and reliance on liquidity mining could hinder the network’s long-term growth. Two important trends are occurring across crypto right now: Blue-chip DeFi application business models are converging. Rather than offering a single service in isolation, protocols are beginning to package exchange, lending, and stablecoin services together in one unified stack. Applications are choosing to leave generalized smart contract networks to create their own application-specific blockchains. While this approach forces applications to bootstrap their own network security, it allows for greater customizability and control over network incentives. Canto is an experimental smart contract network that combines both of these ideas together. Built on the Cosmos SDK, Canto is a general-purpose Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that embeds a decentralized exchange (DEX), lending market, and overcollateralized currency into the network. Canto views these three core DeFi primitives as public goods that should be offered to users for free. Altogether, Canto provides a unique approach to both application and network design that is aligned with the permissionless ethos of public blockchains. 🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► App: https://canto.io/ ______________ 💟 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🥩! _____________ 📻 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

dYdX - Largest derivatives DEX in DeFi picks Cosmos over ETH scaling solution for scaling?

✨About dYdX ✨ dYdX is a perpetuals DEX that started on an ETH L2, Starkware, that has since made the strategic decision to migrate their DEX to becoming fully onchain. Because Cosmos allows dYdX to customize the product experience for their users while achieving the scalability needed for the volume their users demand, they picked Cosmos as the clear winning stack. dYdX is the largest derivatives exchange in DeFi in terms of volume, having over $300M DAV, which merits the need to move onto its own sovereign appchain. Guest: Nathan Cha, dYdX marketing lead 🔗 Useful Links 🔗 ► Follow: https://dydx.exchange/blog #interchainjam #blockchaintech #technews #web3news #interchainfm #cryptocurrency #cryptopodcasts ______________ 💟 SUPPORT iFM If 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

Interchain name service - How crypto wallets can unlock web3 access via sovereign digital identities

✨About ICNS ✨ How will onchain digital identities like your ENS, ICNS (Interchain Nameservice), Handshake names and the like become your gateway into what lies ahead in Web3 UX? When a new person gets onramped into crypto, they all have to download wallets. What if your wallet will no longer be "just a wallet", the same way your phone, at the turn of the 2000s, was no longer "just a phone"—it became your access to the internet as you know it. Well, we're right at the precipice of yet another similarly paradigm-shifting moment as Web2 evolves into Web3. Guest: Josh Lee, aka "Dogemos", co-founder of Chainapsis, the startup behind Keplr wallet, the Interchain wallet

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.
