For this episode I spoke to Ethen Buchman (@buchmanster) and Tomaž Fleischman (@T_Fleischman) in person while at the  Commons Hub in Austria from May 22nd to 28th for the Collaborative Finance event with the Crypto Commons Association, one of the projects part of the Breadchain Cooperative. Ethan is one of the co-founders of Cosmos and works at Informal Systems, a workers cooperative that focuses on building Cosmos infrastructure with Tomaž. A big theme of the Collaborative Finance event was about the paper Tomaž co-wrote while working with Sardex about multilateral trade clearing setoffs, or giving the ability of credit clearing to everyone rather than it being just something banks get to do. During the interview we spoke about what happened at the  event, the political implications of giving credit clearing to everyone, and how this type of system could be implemented in Cosmos.If you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.

Informal Systems is a software development company based in Canada that focuses on transforming free institutions, software, money and organizations into higher quality. Their goal is to improve the quality of organizations, software and money to create a better future for everyone. Erik Snoekel, who is 2Tokens' own captain of the invoice token initiative, interviews Tomas Fleischman from Informal Systems in this podcast.Tomas explains how there is often not enough intention put into the quality of software, resulting in an overly centralized approach to money and too hierarchical structures in organizations. He continues with an explanation about how these problems can be solved. Informal Systems' intention for the next 10 years is to move towards formal verification for software by striving for executable specifications to ensure every step of the development process meets high standards. In terms of money they are aiming for collaborative finance to democratize the system and make sure everyone has access to participate in financial activities. As far as organizations go they are planning on focusing on self-governing cooperatives. To learn more about these dilemmas and questions listen to this latest podcast, now available on video and podcast format.

In this episode of the Ownership Economy, Jahed and Martin connect with Ethan Buchman, Co-Founder of Cosmos and Tendermint and current CEO of Informal Systems, a worker-owned cooperative that develops software for Cosmos Network. Ethan walks us through how the architecture of Cosmos is powering a multi-chain, or multiple blockchain, future with interoperability as its core. The discussion then moves to why this architecture will empower a new generation of Collaborative Finance applications that allow communities to deepen relationships, increase internal trade, and remain resilient in global financial downturns through new applications of locally governed money. We hope you enjoy the episode.

In this week's episode, Anna (https://twitter.com/annarrose) and Guillermo (https://twitter.com/guilleangeris) catch up with Henry de Valence (https://twitter.com/hdevalence) from Penumbra (https://twitter.com/penumbrazone). They discuss his thoughts on requirements for adoption of privacy systems and how these led to him to develop Penumbra. They explore how Penumbra aims to use privacy features not as ‘nice to haves' within the system, but rather as essential components that offer a new paradigm for how to think about DeFi in a Multichain Ecosystem.

This episode of the #citizencosmos podcast features Mark Jackson, the founder of Microtick - a short term options and decentralized price oracle for DeFi built on Tendermint. We have discussed Mark's career journey, his work with exchanges, options, liquidity, price discovery, price manipulation, project values and coding using punch cards. The Microtick project's goal is to provide a globally agreed upon, real-time consensus price - without requiring direct financial coupling to any underlying asset.

For this week's episode I spoke with Ethan Buchman (@buchmanster), the founder of Cosmos and the CEO of  Informal Systems, a worker-owned cooperative helping build the infrastructure of the Cosmos Network. Cosmos is a particular blockchain with the goal of creating the internet of blockchains by creating a layer that facilitates interoperability between different blockchains. During the interview we talk about Ethan's own heterodox political views, synthesizing the works of the Austrian school and Karl Polanyi among others for creating what he calls "sustainability existentialism." We also talk about how these politics influenced the creation of Cosmos, his fears of the current state of the crypto ecosystem, and  the difference between DeFi degens and regens.Here are some more sources to learn more about Ethan's heterodox political views:Reconsidering the Factors of ProductionThread on AustriansDistributed StateIf you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.

Eric Kryski, CEO and co-founder of Bidali, sits down with Ethan Buchman, CEO of Informal Systems and co-founder of Cosmos, to discuss the Cosmos network and interoperable blockchains as well as a vision for localized economies and municipal sovereignty. Kryski and Buchman explore the challenges of building blockchain application layers on Bitcoin's and Ethereum's networks as well as achieving interoperability between protocols—even within the same network. Buchman shares how Cosmos' ecosystem is able to accomplish interoperability that restores sovereignty with an application-specific chain while providing a mature development environment. The work being done at Cosmos flows in Buchman's vision for more localized, interoperable economies, and he expands on this by breaking down his thoughts on community currencies, municipal sovereignty, and mutual credit systems. Filmed on May 18, 2021. Key Learnings: Buchman explains how Cosmos is aiming to become "the internet of blockchains" by allowing developers to build their blockchains in such a way that it will enable communication with each other in a decentralized way. He acknowledges how this sort of functionality within the crypto ecosystem would support economies that would become more localized and municipalities that become sovereign as diverse needs and values call for varied means of governance. Buchman argues that a shift toward localism and away from our dependence on globalization will lead to more sustainable, self-sufficient, and anti-fragile economies and societies.
