The evolution of the modular thesis doesn't go without saying Osmosis and the Cosmos ecosystem. Being the hub of liquidity for the modular ecosystem assets (TIA, DYM, OSMO), Osmosis plays an important role for the space. In today's interview with co-founder Sunny Aggarwal, we discuss the recent rise of Celestine Sloths and how features like the Skip API allows for seamless cross-chain transactions, enabling users to mint NFTs on Stargaze by swapping currencies through Osmosis in a single transaction. This is a mega leap forward in interchain fluidity and for all of those who minted Sloths, you understand. We then went onto discuss the Mad Scientists collection which has recently gained traction, (Sunny's PFP) and how the tech behind this collection works.We discussed Backbone Labs and the plan to distribute a significant portion of protocol revenues to holders, and whether or not this "real yield" is bullish. Shortly after, we discussed the proposal from Osmosis about alloyed assets. Osmosis has introduced the concept of alloyed assets, which aggregrate various tokens into a unified asset pool to manage liquidity more effectively. This approach not only mitigates risks associated with individual bridge failures but also streamlines asset management across chains, thus simplifying the user experience significantly. But, is it really the best solution? We asked Sunny about the risks associated, some edge cases, and really dug into some areas where we feel they may have fell short... Sunny stepped up to the plate and addressed our concerns as always. Finally, towards the end of the podcast we talked about the hyperbitcoinization of Cosmos with players like Babylon and others. Sunny is pretty excited about this and we talked in-depth about this new phenomenon of bringing BTC to Cosmos and other ecosystems. We really enjoyed this conversation and hope you will too!

What is Urbit? Urbit has existed for roughly twenty years and aims to rebuild the internet from scratch to get rid of intermediaries like Google and Co. Their claim: the internet can't be saved since it is controlled by the megacorp! So, we need to start all over again! But how does Urbit work and what should the future of Urbit look like? Is this just a utopia? What about synergies between Urbit and the crypto industry? What are Urbit comets, planets, stars, and galaxies? And could Urbit launch a Cosmos blockchain? This and much more is what we will discuss with one of the most active community members in the Urbit community: Osmosis Co-Founder Sunny Aggarwal.  - - - Catch up with FRENS VALIDATOR:

10 years ago, Adam B Levine, the host of ‘Let's Talk Bitcoin!', decided that it was time to encourage other voices to step onto the crypto podcast scene. Among many applicants, Sebastien and Brian were the only 2 Europeans, so Adam suggested that they teamed up in order to record the pilot episode. On December 20th 2013, Sebastien and Brian released ‘Regulation and the Future of Bitcoin', which marked the beginning of a 10-year (and counting) long journey. The rest is history.On this anniversary episode, our hosts were joined by special guests and friends of Epicenter, to share their favourite moments and fun stories gathered during the 10 years of epicness.Topics covered in this episode:Adam B Levine - Epicenter's godfather & the early days of EpicenterTrent McConaghy - From Ascribe to Ocean.

✨About USDC ✨ $USDC is the second most liquid stablecoin that powers crypto asset-to-stablecoin swaps for both CeFi and DeFi protocols alike. USDC will be a keystone stablecoin for the Interchain, especially as it emerges from the ashes of the $UST de-peg. As part of the go-to-market plan, Circle will be issuing USDC from an asset issuance chain, secured by Cosmos Hub Interchain Security. If you're not familiar with Interchain Security, I recommend you to watch a primer about it under the Chjango Unchained YouTube episode with Sunny Aggarwal covering Mesh Security vs Interchain Security. 

As the second Avalanche summit drew to a close, Sebastien Couture and Sunny Aggarwal sat down with Emin Gün Sirer for a fascinating conversation exploring future innovation narratives in crypto. Longtime friend of Epicenter, Ava Labs' founder and CEO shared his unique insights on the industry, from both a founder, as well as a former academia perspective.Given Avalanche's consensus & architecture, it boasts high TPS and scalability properties, incentivising founders to build better products in the AVAX ecosystem.One of the most controversial narratives is that of LLMs (i.e. ChatGPT) powering smart contract development by bypassing programming languages and even bytecode altogether. The question arises if replacing the human third-party with an AI fixes trust issues or not, but only time will tell which piece of code we can actually consider 'law'.Topics covered in this episode:Emin's background, from academia to running a multi-billion dollar companyMain takeaways from the 2nd Avalanche summitInnovation narratives in the Avalanche ecosystem.

✨About mesh security✨ It's just an idea for now! Mesh security is a bi-lateral agreement between two chains agreeing to secure the other chain with its native staking token. Network topology of a mesh secured network looks like a distributed set of chains rather than hub and spoke, arguably a more decentralized architecture. 

Sometimes, the frontier is at a crypto conference. One of the most prestige being, ETHDenver! We're back with a handful of exclusive interviews with some of the most fascinating minds in crypto.  Wish you could make it to all the crypto conferences, but don't have the time? Don't worry, Bankless brings the frontier to you. In this episode, we're talking to Sunny Aggarwal of Osmosis Labs and Cosmos. Sunny and David chat about how Osmosis and Axelar are working together, what's new in the Cosmos ecosystem, and how Cosmos isn't solely DeFi-focused.  ------

The following is recorded from a twitter spaces co-hosted by CoinDesk and Interchain.fm. The conversation was moderated by Sam Kessler, a CoinDesk journalist, and Chjango Unchained spoke alongside Erik Voorhees, Haseeb Qureshi, and Sunny Aggarwal on the ongoing topic of FTX and our latest main character, Sam Bankman Fried. We discussed the failings of centralized financial institutions and how DeFi already fixes a lot of those failures. Is there a role for crypto regulation, or is there a future where we as crypto natives can build solutions to self-regulate?

CoinDesk speaks with Erik Voorhees, Sunny Aggarwal, Chjango Unchained, and Haseeb Qureshi to discuss DeFi, regulation and decentralized exchanges in the wake of FTX's collapse.The executive producer for CoinDesk Podcasts is Jared Schwartz.

This is the Cosmos Thesis. ------

In this episode, we talk to Jacob Gadikian, the founder of Notional Labs, validating various networks in the Cosmos ecosystem. Notional uses in-house hardware. Validating outside the cloud increases decentralization and dramatically improves epoch time. As a validator and software developer, Notional performs IBC relayers to support the interchain and provides services for various chains in Cosmos Ecosystem, from RPC, gRPC, WebSocket and API to snapshot service uptime monitor status.

"Dogecoin is sponsoring the Jamaican bobsled team." This is the first time Sunny Aggarwal first heard about crypto, back when he was a high school student in California. The friend might as well have been speaking Klingon, because the sentence made no sense to Sunny, so he went home and googled Dogecoin which led him down the Bitcoin rabbit-hole. He was hooked, or shall we say "doge-pilled."  Fast forward to today and Sunny is one of Web3's most creative entrepreneurs, having co-founded Osmosis, the most popular decentralized exchange in the Interchain ecosystem. He's also a fan favourite here at DeFi Decoded. When we last had Sunny on the show, Osmosis had just closed a major financing and its TVL was nearing $1 billion. Bitcoin was nearing an all-time high and crypto markets were close to topping $3 trillion. While market conditions have changed, the case for DeFi has never been stronger. On this episode, Alex and Sunny talk about the core value proposition for DeFi, which is "privacy for the individual, transparency for the system," why DeFi fared far better in the crisis than CeFi, what it will take to onboard the masses to Osmosis, why the recent crypto slump hasn't impacted funding for good projects, how Osmosis became a refuge for Terra Luna developers following that platform's collapse.

Will Cosmos become THE ecosystem for MEV? MEV is a hot topic right now and one of the fast-growing + most profitable sectors in crypto. The Cosmos architecture could allow setting up a wild MEV playground in the crypto industry. But what is MEV all about? Why are people talking about good & bad MEV? And what are the different approaches to maximize profit from MEV? This is what I will discuss with Osmosis Co-Founder Sunny Aggarwal today! - - - - FOLLOW FRENS VALIDATOR: https://twitter.com/frensvalidator  STAKE WITH FRENS VALIDATOR: https://frens.army/  FOLLOW JURI: https://twitter.com/jurimaibaum - - - - DISCLAIMER All information presented in this podcast is meant for informational purposes only and should not be treated as financial, legal, or tax advice.

This week, we chat about Osmosis' unique approach to bridge selection. Unlike other projects which have used many bridges, Osmosis underwent a "canonical bridge selection" process to choose one provider, with the intention of providing a superior UX for end users. All of this was done through on-chain governance. Axelar emerged victorious, and is working on an integration with Osmosis. In this podcast, we talk about the unique governance process used, the various bridge providers involved, and Axelar's unique approach. Additionally, we talk about Cosmos-based governance systems broadly, and how it differs from those built on Ethereum. --- Resources: Proposal: Canonical Ethereum Bridge Provider Process Proposal: Adopt Axelar as the Canonical Ethereum Bridge Service Provider --- Twitter: @sunnya97 | @sergey_nog |@lsukernik | @derek_hsue ---- Show Notes: How Cosmos-based governance systems compare to Ethereum-based systems The role of validators as hybrid service providers, investors and infrastructure builders Why Osmosis decided to pick one bridge provider to start, as opposed to many The unique design behind the bridge selection proposals Axelar's unique bridging approach to the bridge selection process Why founders should build their own AppChains The broader benefits of modular governance systems

On today's episode, Andrew and Alex are joined by Sunny Aggarwal, Co-founder of Osmosis ($OSMO), a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) on the Cosmos blockchain network which, in only nine months, has soared to US$600 million in Total Value Locked. Osmosis is attracting capital from across the industry including from some of the most influential investors: On the day we recorded the podcast, Paradigm, the multi-billion crypto VC firm, announced a major investment of $21 million to help Osmosis accelerate its growth. It was the first DEX investment Paradigm made outside of the Ethereum ecosystem, evidence of Osmosis' growing important to the future of DeFi. Sunny tells us about the origin of Osmosis, his vision for blockchain interoperability and composability, the innovative feature set of Osmosis, the importance of privacy in blockchain transactions, why traditional finance people should be paying attention to DeFi and much more.

Gyroscope is an "all-weather stablecoin" that is backed by a reserve portfolio that tries to diversify across many risk factors. By maintaining a reserve of many decorrelated assets, it makes Gyro Dollars more resilient, similar to how it is hard to move a spinning gyroscope. In a market where there's an explosion of new stablecoins, Gyroscope attempts to find a niche by providing a very stable and resilient option. We were joined by co-founders Lewis Gudgeon and Ariah Klages-Mundt to chat about how Gyroscope works and their strategy to try to make it a standard throughout DeFi.Topics covered in this episode:Their backgrounds and how they got into cryptoAn overview of the Gyroscope StablecoinThe collateral being usedThe mechanism used for stabilizing reservesUse cases of the GyrodollarSAMMs and PAMMsLeverage loansGovernance within the protocolThe goals of the current testnetHow to get involvedEpisode links: GyroscopeDiscordGyroscope blogTwitterLewis on TwitterAriah on TwitterSponsors: Chorus One: Chorus One runs validators on cutting edge Proof of Stake networks such as Cosmos, Solana, Celo, Polkadot and Oasis. - https://epicenter.rocks/chorusoneParaSwap: ParaSwap aggregates all major DEXs and makes sure you beat the market price at every single swap and with the lowest slippage - paraswap.io/epicenterThis episode is hosted by Sunny Aggarwal.
