&lt;p&gt;This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Brian from Chorus One&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Brian is an entrepreneur and blockchain researcher focused on scalable decentralized applications and cross-chain connectivity. He advocates for privacy and envisions a future where AI and blockchain empower individuals to control their assets and lives.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chorus One has been pioneering Proof-of-Stake technology since 2018, advancing a $300 billion economy by building and operating core infrastructure to replace inefficient legacy systems with an open, permissionless financial system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h5&gt;We spoke to &lt;a href="https://x.com/crainbf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Brian&lt;/a&gt;  about &lt;a href="https://x.com/ChorusOne" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Chorus One&lt;/a&gt; and:&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The battle test&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Scalable decentralized application&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Connecting across the chains&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Question around privacy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Surveillance increased&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Risk for investors, there's risk for developers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you engage in a private sector and protocols, assume guilt&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Preserving of privacy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Decline of large nation states&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AI&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;People having more control assets, lives, and decision making&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keep it simple&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stay focused&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Timestamps&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;00:00 – 02:53 : Intro &lt;br&gt;
02:53 -- 06:20 : Thoughts on how things have changed.&lt;br&gt;
06:20 -- 09:10 : Interoperability&lt;br&gt;
