This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Nixo from Ethereum Foundation

Nixo shared candid insights on trust in centralized exchanges, the small yet influential nature of Crypto Twitter, and the importance of following genuine interests over money. He also highlighted challenges in finding competent legal experts and how people are naturally inclined to pick sides in the crypto space.

This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Ethan Frey, founder & CEO of CosmWasm and Tgrade.

CosmWasm allows you to build robust dApps, on secure, multi-chain smart contracts. It is built using Cosmos-SDK/Tendermint and Rust. This allows your contracts to run on multiple chains, utilizing IBC (InterBlockchian Communication Protocol).

Tgrade is labeled as the Bigbang of Regulated Blockchain technology., with a vision for self-sovereign groups, bound by their local jurisdiction and regulations, trading P2P programmable financial instruments. It is a self-sovereign framework which ensures the principle of decentralization. Institutions within a given jurisdiction can each a self-sovereign group and ensure they comply with their local regulations. On-chain financial instruments controlled by self-sovereign groups, and on-chain governance complying with corresponding off-chain regulations, is the key solution.
