Empires and Politics in blockchain, Sunny Aggarwal of Cosmos Tendermint

We talk with Sunny, the lead researcher at Tendermint, and core contributor to Cosmos and Cosmos Hub as well as cofounder of Blockchain at Berkeley. We talk about the political theory of blockchain as well as its main narratives: sound money, defi, web 3 and open law. We look at the story of Cosmos and how its ecosystem has evolved and the natural devolution from initial founder to community and how they can been so successful at beginning to onboard the 99% of developers with a ‘build your own blockchain’ model.
