The New Stack Podcast

Makings of a Web3 Stack: Agoric, IPFS, Cosmos Network

Episode Summary

Want an easy way to get started in Web3? Download a desktop copy of  IPFS (Interplanetary File System) and install it on your computer, advises Dietrich Ayala, IPFS Ecosystem Growth Engineer, Protocol Labs, in our most recent edition of The New Stack Makers podcast. We've been hearing a lot of hype about the Web3 and its promise of decentralization — how it will bring the power of the web back to the people, through the use of a blockchain. So what's up with that? How do you build a Web3 stack? What can you build with a Web3 stack? How far along is the community with tooling and ease-of-use? This virtual panel podcast sets out to answer all these questions. In addition to speaking to Ayala, we spoke with Rowland Graus, head of product for Agoric, and Marko Baricevic, software engineer for The Interchain Foundation, which manages Cosmos Network. an open source technology to help blockchains interoperate. Each participant describes the role in the Web3 ecosystem where their respective technologies play. These technologies are often used together, so they represent an emerging blockchain stack of sorts. TNS Editor-in-Chief Joab Jackson hosted the discussion.
