This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Matt Hawkins, Founder & CEO of CUDOS, a project built on the Cosmos SDK that uses the Tendermint protocol for network governance. CUDOS consists of a layer 1 network, layer 2 solutions, and an oracle network. The network provides decentralized, permissionless high performance computing at scale while enabling computing scaling up to 100,000 nodes.

In particular, CUDOS aims to bridge the gap between the cloud and blockchain by utilizing the available global computing power. As a result, the project will create a more decentralized, sustainable, and interconnected world.
