This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Karel Kubat from Union

Karel Kubat is passionate about the transformative potential of technology, particularly in AI and cryptocurrency, emphasizing the importance of individual opinion in a rapidly changing world. He views society as a decentralized "giant anthill," where our last vestige of humanity lies in our ability to think independently amidst technological advancements.

Union is a hyper-efficient zero-knowledge infrastructure for secure message passing, asset transfers, NFTs, and DeFi, relying on consensus verification without third-party dependencies. Utilizing advanced Zero-Knowledge Cryptography and BLS signatures, Union delivers the fastest, most secure inter-blockchain communication protocol (IBC) globally

We spoke to Karel Kubat about Union and:
  • Falling in love with statistics
  • Expense on security
  • AI or Crypto
  • Technologies that really could shift humanity
  • At some point, we started losing our concentration
  • The only thing that we really have is our ability to form opinions
  • Our final vestige humanity we're kind of now offloading
  • Crypto tells you, form your own opinions
  • Fully open Wild West
  • There is no big plan
  • Human society is a giant anthill
  • Short-term privacy for MEV-resistant
  • Contribution to humanity
