This week we catch up with Zaki Manian, Director at Tendermint (https://tendermint.com/), the company building Cosmos (https://cosmos.network/) architecture, and co-founder of Iqlusion (https://www.iqlusion.io/) Validator. We chat about the blockchain in Silicon Valley, why SF loves DeFi, the challenge of balancing pragmatism and regulation with a decentralised ideology, the nuances of PoS systems, the wins of 2019 and what is on the horizon.
Here are links to a few things we discuss:-Tarun Chitra's paper (https://docsend.com/view/697feid) on how the existance of derivatives can undermine the security of a PoS system
