Build on Bitcoin (BOB), Botanix, and Citrea plan to bring DeFi, perps, stablecoins, and much more to the Bitcoin ecosystem. Here's how.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.In this episode of Unchained, host Laura interviews Alexei Zamyatin, co-founder of Build on Bitcoin, Willem Schroé, founder of Botanix Labs, and Orkun Kılıç, co-founder of Chainway Labs. They discuss their respective projects, all of which are focused on developing Layer 2 solutions for Bitcoin. Zamyatin's Build on Bitcoin is a hybrid Layer 2 that connects to both Bitcoin and Ethereum, aiming to bring innovation back to the Bitcoin ecosystem. Schroé's Botanix Labs is developing a decentralized Layer 2 solution using the ‘Spiderchain,' which uses a series of multi-signature wallets to secure the chain. Kılıç's Chainway Labs is building Citrea, a zk-Rollup on Bitcoin that aims to create a Bitcoin-backed economy. All three projects are in various stages of development and testing, with BOB's mainnet launch expected shortly.Show highlights:Introduction to Build on Bitcoin (BOB), Botanix, and Citrea: How they aim to innovate and expand Bitcoin's capabilities, including their architectural designs that integrate Ethereum users and work toward decentralization and trustlessness.Security Aspects and Integration Strategies: What the security risks associated with BOB, Botanix, and Citrea are, and strategies to enhance decentralization over time?How these layer 2s influence Bitcoin fees, and how Botanix's integration can leverage the Bitcoin ecosystem, with insights on the potential of Layer 3s and zk-rollups to transform Bitcoin's utility and fee dynamics.How these projects aim to attract Ethereum users and developers, and the reasons why this may be an attractive opportunity for themHow Runes, Ordinals, and BRC-20s operate on Citrea, Botanix, and BOBHow Bitcoin is always a derivative when it's not in its layer 1 and the pros and cons of different bridging solutionsThe concept of forward secrecy and how it can help improve security in blockchainsWhy Willem believes that Layer 3s are possible and bullish for BitcoinHow ‘merged mining” resembles Ethereum's restaking and why it's positive for Bitcoin-Thank you to our sponsors!

In this episode we sit down with Alexei Zamyatin, the founder of Build On Bitcoin (BOB). Topics covered: Why EVM-compatibility is important for Bitcoin and Bitcoin L2s Merge mining and fostering adoption of Bitcoin L2's Why now for the Bitcoin Renaissance BitVM, use cases, and unlocks for Bitcoin
Alexei Zamyatin is an academic cryptographer who works on the Build on Bitcoin projects. His approach to scaling Bitcoin with second layers involves some unconventional methods, which he describes in this interview. He also seems to like OP_CAT over CTV.
John Light, Super Testnet and Alexei Zamyatin are part of the new generation of Bitcoin developers. They like zero knowledge proofs, they're opinionated when defending covenants & they are not afraid to look for breakthroughs beyond the Bitcoin research.
Stelios and Connor discuss themes from Evgeny Zamyatin's We, which is considered to be the first dystopian novel.
This episode of the #citizencosmos podcast features Alexei Zamyatin Co-Founder of Interlay, a modular, programmable layer between Bitcoin and the multi-chain ecosystem that unlocks novel decentralized use cases for BTC. Interlay utilizes an already operational, decentralized bridge to connect Bitcoin with a lending protocol and AMM decentralized exchange, enabling Bitcoin holders to access basic financial services without relying on centralized exchanges We spoke to Alexei (https://twitter.com/alexeizamyatin?lang=en) about Interlay (https://www.interlay.io/) and: - Payment channels - Who pays the price for decentralization? - The perfect storm leading to a death spiral - Death Spirals - How do we build trustless bridges? - Economic interests and tribalism - Economic vs statistical security - Profits at the expense of the good of the people - Centralized power corrupts - Does full decentralization exist? - One coin to rule them all - Imposter Syndrome - Early cross chain communication - Domain name squatting - Weak links in centralized systems - Should I build, just because I can? - Hostile governance attacks. - Academia and research as a launch pad for a successful project - Academia vs field work - The need for Altruism in web3 - Solving a problem is a good place to start - Thesis topics as a gateway to Bitcoin - Risks of relying on bridges - Failures of bridges wiping out entire ecosystems - The importance of community in decentralization - Ethical questions around building - Ethical implications of breakthroughs - Differences between native and wrapped tokens - Diminishing trust in institutions - The future of bridging - Computer Science as a way to be a creative - Analysis and effects of merge mining If you like what we do at Citizen Cosmos: - Stake with Citizen Cosmos validator (https://www.citizencosmos.space/staking) - Help support the project via Gitcoin Grants (https://gitcoin.co/grants/1113/citizen-cosmos-podcast) - Listen to the YouTube version (https://youtu.be/anK4shpKDKY) - Read our blog (https://citizen-cosmos.github.io/manuscripts/) - Check out our GitHub (https://github.com/citizen-cosmos/Citizen-Cosmos) - Join our Telegram (https://t.me/citizen_cosmos) - Follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/cosmos_voice) - Sign up to the RSS feed (https://www.citizencosmos.space/rss) Special Guest: Alexei Zamyatin.
To lead into the third season of Enduring Interest, we're re-releasing our first two seasons, covering totalitarianism and ideology and liberal education. We'll be back on September 8 with a new season covering free speech and censorship. In the inaugural episode of Enduring Interest, I speak with Jacob Howland, McFarlin Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at the University of Tulsa, about Yevgeny Zamyatin's great dystopian novel WE. Jacob and I talk about Zamyatin himself—his early commitment to the Bolshevik cause in the early 1900s and his disillusionment following the revolution of 1917. The novel was written in 1920 but was suppressed in Russia. Zamyatin managed to smuggle the manuscript out of the country and it was first published in English translation in 1924. Tune in to hear an excerpt from the author's shockingly candid letter to Stalin protesting the suppression of his work. Jacob argues that Zamyatin's “fertile and poetic imagination” enabled him to write a subtle and dense book that sketches the conflict between the mathematical, thumotic soul and the poetic, erotic soul. Zamyatin saw that the militant, rationalizing impulse at the core of totalitarian politics distorts and destroys the obstacles in its path. D-503, the novel's main character, is transformed by erotic longing and his act of writing—both lead him down a path of self-discovery. Our conversation takes some interesting turns. Other authors discussed include Plato (lots of Plato!), Dostoevsky, Marx, Havel, Milosz, Huxley, and Orwell. Jacob judges WE to be superior to both 1984 and Brave New World. Enjoy!
Alexei Zamyatin is a Bitcoin enthusiast, researcher & software developer. He co-founded Interlay to solve the problem of getting Bitcoin to be used in as many places as possible in a safe, secure way. That lead them to build the V1 of their decentralized Bitcoin bridge. V2 has been released this week and brings a whole new suite of tools including Uniswap-like AMM features, lending/borrowing, and more.

Gleb Zamyatin, MSc is a very successful businessman in the corporate world. To be exact, recently his startup fuels24.com was valued at $7.5 mln. "Gleb" worked as a CEO at a leading energy middle-market investment bank where he raised capital and bought middle-market energy businesses on a daily basis. One day an unseen force pushed Gleb to pause and examine his life and career. Gleb wondered, what is actually important to him? What, if anything, does he really enjoy about mergers and acquisitions? Then, the voices of the Universe called to him and showed him that these questions were about much more than just himself. Gleb realized that what he loved most was guiding, encouraging, and supporting people, showing them how to be the best they could be. Gleb felt the light of the universe filling him with a sense of purpose. He realized that this was more than his goal in life, he understood that he had been given a sacred mission on Earth. He was shown the pain, the suffering the entirety of the unrealized potential amongst us. He saw the full oppressive strength of our social preconditioning, he saw us struggle and toil in hate, jealousy, and greed in vain. Gleb had awoken and seen clearly that he must be a guide, a friend, a master, that he had the power and the duty to show people the true way of awareness and conscious being. He had to show people the sacredness within themselves which they couldn't find on their own. Gleb decided to redirect all of his time and energy to focus on sharing the wisdom he'd acquired. He decided to help people develop their potential fully, to teach them the life lessons they needed to learn in order to achieve their dreams. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/crypto-hipster-podcast/support

Was the fall of Soviet communism 30 years ago a liberation, or just the replacement of one totalitarian ideology with another? Today on MindMatters we interview Polish philosopher Zbigniew Janowski about his recent book, Homo Americanus: The Rise of Totalitarian Democracy in America. In a quest to understand current trends in American society and politics, Professor Janowski revisited the classics: Dostoevsky, Zamyatin, Orwell, and especially Huxley. His collection of meditations on the totalitarianism metastasizing in the West today rums the gamut from ideology and politics to psychology and technology. Join us as we discuss Zbigniew's book, his experiences in Poland, the U.S., and Canada, teaching, and thorny topics like equality, hierarchy, and perhaps the most controversial of all of them: gendered language!Janowski is also co-editor of a recent collection of the writings of J.S. Mill.Janowski on The Postil.MindMatters on odysee.

Shownotes: This week, Matt and Cameron tackle the first half of Evgeny’s Zamyatin’s We. Perhaps the first novel of sci-fi dystopia as we would recognize it today, We portends a dark future where Ciphers rise uni-millionly, work uni-millionly, and have sheepishly (I like to imagine) register for sex day uni-millionly. Come along as we follow the journey of D-503 as we read the novel that launched a thousand rip-offs. Major themes: Pink Slips, 1984, and Mathematical Socialism. 08:46 - “Enclave” is what I meant to say, instead of “conclave.” 21:17 - In fact, it was a 1931 speech where Stalin proclaimed that the USSR had ten years to industrialize, “or be crushed.” 29:45 - Terms and Conditions Matt meant to say and EULA I meant to say. The music used in this episode was “soviet march,” by Toasted Tomatoes. You can find more of their work on Bandcamp and Youtube.

A story about a man of the XX century who got into the XXII century through cryofreezing. The new society considers itself a utopia and a Paradise on Earth. But from the point of view of the values of the XX century, it also has a dystopian feature: the destruction of the concept of personality and individuality. And so deep and cunningly grounded that Zamyatin, Huxley and Orwell smoke on the sidelines. Music: Andrey Klimkovsky, Viktor Argonov. Text, arrangement: Viktor Argonov.

Beginning with praise, transitioning to criticism and ultimately reaching a state of forgiveness, the panel embarks upon its ongoing Dystopian Novel Series with the granddaddy of the dystopian novel, We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. (Coincidentally recorded on the podcast's one year anniversary). Completed in 1921 and published in 1924 (with an English translation), Zamyatin's forging of the genre predates pretty much anything you might mistakenly argue came first. Harbor's Metropolis or the the Fritz Lang film adaptation? Sorry. London's The Iron Heel? Nope. Huxley's A Brave New World? Come on, man! Trust us, we looked this shit up. Today's episode was brought to you by the Numbers PF-237, GK-42 and SZ-119 as well as the word "insidious" and several pronunciations of the word "integral".

Yevgeny Zamyatin's experiences in the Tyne shipyards fed into his dystopian fable "We", which was published in 1919. It depicts a city of glass where citizens are spied upon. Fans of the book have included George Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut and Tom Wolfe and it increasingly resonates with today's concerns about surveillance techniques. Matthew Sweet and an audience at The Free Thinking Festival from Sage Gateshead discuss the novel with poet Sean O'Brien, columnist David Aaronovitch and Radio 3 New Generation Thinker Sarah Dillon. Recorded on Sunday 27 October 2013.
Matthew Reynolds, Fellow and Tutor in English Language and Literature, Oxford, gives a talk for the 2013 Oxford Alumni Weekend. Translations are never as good as their originals - or so we tend to think. But why should that be? Surely translation can involve gain as well as loss? But, if it does that, doesn't it stop being translation and turn into something else: a 'version', 'interpretation' or 'poem in its own right'? The 2013 St Anne's Founding Fellows Lecture will explore these questions with the help of a range of wonderful translations into English, such as Dante, Virgil, Homer, Sappho, Zamyatin, Sereni, Rouzeau, Dryden, Pope, Ciaran Carson, Natasha Randall, Peter Robinson and Susan Wickes. We will discover what it means for a piece of writing to be at once a translation and a work of literature.

Ultimately, he and the woman are caught, imprisoned, and tortured. In the end, he is sincerely repentant of his crimes and is completely devoted to the all-encompassing government that has done him all this harm.We was the work of a not-very-well-known Russian writer, Yevgeny Zamyatin. Nineteen Eighty-Four, by contrast, is extremely well known in the West today, particularly in England and the United States, where words and phrases like "Newspeak," "doublethink," "thoughtcrime," and "Big Brother Is Watching You" are familiar to millions who have never read the novel from which they come. And there is no getting around the similarities between 1984 and Zamyatin's We.
