  <description>This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Sunny Aggarwal. Sunny is the chief of research at Tendermint, founder of the Sikka.tech validator and a very profound thinker. We will discuss validating on GPUs, money as a religion, economic incentives in blockchains, validator security, teaching at Berkley and Switzerland, GTP-2 and, of course, Sunny's AI twitter.
Tendermint, a core contributor to the Cosmos Network. Building the most powerful tools for distributed networks. Tendermint is the gateway to the Cosmos ecosystem. Building critical infrastructure for open networks, like the Cosmos SDK, Tendermint Core, and Gaia. And leading developer experience by providing best-in-class tools to peer into an ever expanding Cosmos.
Sikka is a company focused on building and operating secure infrastructure for blockchains and other decentralized networks. With a firm commitment to integrity of vision and a promise to only run and promote infrastructure for projects we believe help the cause of decentralization and push the space forward.
