I Pledge AllegianceThe Osmosis Bridging Proposals, featuring Sunny Aggarwal (Osmosis) and Sergey Gorbunov (Axelar)This week, we chat about Osmosis' unique approach to bridge selection. Unlike other projects which have used many bridges, Osmosis underwent a "canonical bridge selection" process to choose one provider, with the intention of providing a superior UX for end users. All of this was done through on-chain governance. Axelar emerged victorious, and is working on an integration with Osmosis.
In this podcast, we talk about the unique governance process used, the various bridge providers involved, and Axelar's unique approach. Additionally, we talk about Cosmos-based governance systems broadly, and how it differs from those built on Ethereum.2022-05-0357 minCosmos Spaces – TerraSpacesCosmos Spaces: Bridging Beyond the IBC with AxelarToday on the Ether we have a Cosmos Space hosted by Tricky Crypto discussing bridging beyond the IBC with Sergey Gorbunov from Axelar Network.

Chorus One Podcast#45 Axelar: Consensus Agnostic Interoperability with Sergey GorbunovOn the show today, we have Sergey Gorbunov, co-founder of Axelar. Axelar network is a decentralized state machine responsible for facilitating cross-chain requests. Axelar’s gateway protocol is a delivery and routing protocol that can work with any arbitrary blockchain regardless of consensus. This means any decentralised network can plug-in to Axelar seamlessly to access liquidity amongst other things from all other decentralised networks. Axelar also gives developers the freedom to connect their dApp into external networks that might have been previously inaccessible to them without redesigning the smart contracts. The show with Sergey covers his previous experience, how Ax...2021-08-1838 min
