  • Titan: Leveraging Idle Resources for a Future Built on Decentralized Compute Infrastructure
    Oct 21 2024

    Konstantin Tkachuk chats with Keli Callaghan about the new startup he has recently co-founded: Titan Network, a new incentive layer for global idle resources. The Titan Network team has a vision for being the one-stop show for DePIN cloud services and joins the podcast to outline how they are making it a reality for people to take available resources they own and put them to work and be rewarded for it.

    Konstantin shares his unique background in Web3 and the evolution of Titan Network and how it is overcoming the barriers of entering the infrastructure system. The discussion covers a range of topics that include:

    • Technological advancements that enable Titan's operations, including why this advanced level of edge and cloud computing was not technically feasible in the past.
    • The potential future of decentralized cloud services as the world becomes more decentralized.
    • Why Titan Network is built on Cosmos SDK (hint: being able to tailor to use cases on edge devices is hyper critical).
    • Economic benefits for participants in the infrastructure systems of the future.
    • Uptime, service level agreements for mission critical items, flexibility, and 50-80% cost savings.

    The discussion also covers running nodes in outer space, early use cases, the current status of Titan Network, and how to get involved in Titan’s TestNet and upcoming MainNet. Learn more about Titan from their website and give them a follow on X.

  • Glacis: Routers & Firewalls for Robust Cross-Chain Risk Management
    Sep 13 2024

    In this episode of the Pirate Pod, Keli Callaghan sits down with Jacob, the founder of Glacis Labs, a company pioneering cross-chain communication to facilitate the seamless exchange of data. Jacob shares his journey into Web3 (via JP Morgan, Lido, Near, and more), the challenges faced in cross-chain messaging, and the security issues that arise from current systems - including those driven by fragmented liquidity. As our industry matures and billions are at risk, making sure those assets are protected and have enterprise grade uptime is critical. Glacis’ viewpoint is that security will move towards a more prominent focus and what Glacis brings will minimize fire drills and create better liveness and uptime. The conversation also covers the current fundraising landscape, building for developers, the proliferation of incompatible standards, and more.
