Persistence provides staking, liquid staking, and now, restaking services for the Cosmos ecosystem. The protocol is comprised of two components, in pSTAKE, the liquid staked asset hub, and DEXTER, a DeFi application with LST and yield-bearing token use-cases. The Cosmos ecosystem surprised some when the likes of Celestia were introduced last year, bringing attention back to the sector. Cosmos and Tendermint provide infrastructure that allows appchains to have more sovereignty, as seen with the migration of dYdX. In this podcast, our Founder and CEO, Nick Drakon, sits down with Mikhil Pandey, Co-Founder and CSO at Persistence Labs to discuss everything Persistence, Cosmos, Parallelized EVM chains, and more.
Until now, we have had almost no way of evaluating Ethereum validator performance. This lack of accessible data around nodes and their operators has been keeping users, builders, investors, and other validators in the dark about the very health of the Ethereum network. But Elias Simos and the Rated team have created a solution.Elias joins us today to shed light on the state of Ethereum infrastructure. He explains the importance of accessible blockchain infrastructure data, how Rated turns that data into usable performance ratings, and how the idea came about in the first place. We also discuss the challenges that come along with building a product like Rated in a multichain world, and Elias sends us off with some advice for staying sane while working in crypto.

Epicenter - Learn about Blockchain, Ethereum, Bitcoin and Distributed Technologies
From the very beginning, Cosmos set out to provide an alternative to the monolithic blockchain architecture proposed by Ethereum. Cosmos SDK was the cornerstone of this vision, as it allowed developers to spin up blockchains effortlessly. Its modularity enabled custom, self-sovereign chains to become a reality. And, instead of being a jack of all trades, those chains were centred around a sole purpose, thus transforming them into appchains. In turn, as the ecosystem grew, appchains had to be interoperable with one another, but this was already a core feature of Cosmos, via IBC. Before Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap, appchains were thought to be a much-needed scaling solution. However, with the advancements of zero knowledge technology, the Cosmos SDK now faces another set of challenges as it navigates the market demand for L2 scaling solutions.We were joined by Marko Baricevic, Cosmos SDK product lead, to discuss the development philosophy behind the Cosmos Hub and how appchains evolved over time.Topics covered in this episode:Marko's backgroundCosmos SDK's history and high-level overviewCosmos SDK modules and VMsEthereum's & Cosmos' development philosophiesCosmos SDK value prop and use casesCosmos SDK vs. other frameworks (e.g. Substrate)Token value accrual and the fragmentation dilemmaUsing the Cosmos SDK to build rollupsCosmos SDK vs. Avalanche's HyperSDKAdoption of fraud proofs and validity proofs by the Cosmos SDKEpisode links:Marko Baricevic on TwitterCosmos on TwitterCosmos SDK on TwitterInterchain Foundation on TwitterBinary Builders on TwitterThis episode is hosted by Meher Roy & Felix Lutsch.

✨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

In this episode, we talked to Travis (TravCrypto) & LTraveler, community members of Idena, the first Proof-of-Person blockchain based on democratic principles with equal voting powers. The project strives to perform such ideas as democratic governance, freedom of speech, universal basic income and attention economy. Idena is designed to be human-centered and community-based. Any person can become an Idena validator, no matter who they are and where they live and what machine they work on. To start mining Idena, you need to prove that you are a unique human being by completing validation ceremonies.

In today's episode of the DIVI Crypto Podcast, we are talking with Chad Barraford, the Technical lead at THORChain. THORChain's mission is to decentralize cryptocurrency liquidity via THORNodes and ecosystem products. The access to the native and cross-chain liquidity is open to anyone. Rune powers the THORChain ecosystem, providing the economic incentives required to secure the network. Rune aims for Deterministic Value. With this in mind, if more than 80% of circulating RUNE is locked in THORChain liquidity pools, via economical design RUNE's market cap should be a minimum 3 times the value of all non-RUNE assets locked into THORChain liquidity pools. BTC, ETH, BNB, BCH, LTC are currently supported on THORChain. Initially, RUNE was issued on BNB chain, so most liquidity for RUNE on exchanges as BNB.RUNE. ETH.RUNE was issued in order to provision liquidity on Sushi Swap. Native THOR.RUNE is issued on its own chain, and users who my have BNB.RUNE or ETH.RUNE can convert them to native THOR.RUNE via THORChain interfaces. In order to participate in THORChain liquidity pools, one must use the native THOR.RUNE. One may be able to enter liquidity pooling positions only with BTC, ETH, BNB, LTC or BCH. In these circumstances, the network automatically sells 50% of these assets for THOR.RUNE. Upon withdrawal, the interface will also sell the THOR.RUNE back into the original asset. THORChain is a decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol based on Tendermint and Cosmos-SDK, utilizing Threshold Signature Scemes. THORChain does not wrap nor peg assets. Instead, it decides how= to move them in response to user actions. THORChain observes user deposits to vaults, executes business logic, and processes outbound transactions, ensuring the entire process is byzantine-fault-tolerant. A key objective of THORChain is to resist centralization and capture, while also allowing for cross-chain liquidity. THORChain only secures the assets in its vaults, providing economic guarantees that the assets are safe. There are four key roles in the system: Liquidity providers that add liquidity to pools, to earn fees and rewards Swappers using the liquidity to swap assets ad-hoc, paying fees Traders monitor pools and rebalance continually, paying fees but with the intent to earn a profit. Node Operators provide a bond and are paid to secure the system The design goal of THORChain is for anyone to join the network with the required funds, being permissionless, and to be anonymous, yet still be secure. The high-churn network ensures that it is censorship-resistant, evades capture, and resists centralization.

Leveraging the Cosmos SDK, Evmos is the first IBC-compatible EVM-based blockchain, bringing composability, interoperability, and fast finality to Ethereum. While much of the Cosmos ecosystem has embraced CosmWasm to deploy smart contracts, Evmos brings EVM capabilities to the Interchain and allows developers to write contracts in Solidity, the most widely used language in crypto. While the Evmos launch was halted in early March due to a critical vulnerability and a failed chain upgrade, the project is highly anticipated by the Cosmos community as it promises to bring speed, scale, and interoperability to Ethereum. This week, Sebastien was joined by the co-founder of Evmos, Federico Kunze Küllmer, to chat about the innovation that Evmos is bringing to the EVM ecosystem and the long-term vision for the project.This episode is an excerpt of an extended interview with Federico released on The Interop, a new podcast hosted by Sebastien Couture.
