Jae Kwon, Cosmos, Censorship & Humanity

This episode of the #citizencosmos podcast features Jae Kwon the Founder of Cosmos and Tendermint, and Creator of Gno.land a platform to write smart contracts in Gnolang (Gno). Cosmos is described as an ever-expanding ecosystem of interconnected apps and services, that connect using IBC, the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol. This innovation enables you to freely exchange assets and data across sovereign, decentralized blockchains. The Tendermint (now called Ignite) consensus framework is a proprietary Byzantine-Fault-Tolerant (BFT) Proof-of-Stake (PoS) infrastructure that allows the Cosmos Hub and its underlying blockchain “network of networks” to function.

Citizen Web3 provides infrastructure services as a validator across the blockchain space. It is one of the oldest web3 podcasts in the space and a community of like-minded people. Our flagship product (in the making): www.validatorinfo.com is a dashboard and an explorer that helps you to discover validators across the space. We believe in the power of decentralized communities and the potential of blockchains to build a better world. For us blockchains are not just digital technologies, but they are similar to natural hives, forests, and patterns in the environment that allow us to communicate better. We value security, decentralization, privacy, and lack of enforcement. Open and verifiable blockchains should be viewed as digital nations and that our role is to help build and bring value to these nations.
