Mainnet Phase 0Mainnet Phase 0 is the first of 4 phases as we bring the Agoric mainnet to the community. During this phase early investors and validators set up their BLD tokens on the Agoric chain in order to launch a decentralized public chain. For reference, our chain is built using the Cosmos SDK, which was also used to build chains like Regen, Akash, and Osmosis. You can track Agoric chain transactions by visiting Agoric network block explorer.  Dean in Lisbon: Cosmoverse 2021Our CEO, Dean Tribble, showcased what the mainnet zero launch brings to our community, including smart contracts in hardened JavaScript, launched bounty programs, DeFi legos, and NFT building blocks.

It uses examples from transportation and food to blockchain, and is very positive on the consequences and prospects. Thierer considers entrepreneurial activity that skirts the question of legality to be a form.  Edward Chidothe is reading The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age James Davidson’s book explores the social and financial consequences of revolutionary change. The book highlights the opportunities of the new digital age and how the old maxims will be destroyed by its impact.  It serves up implications of the Information Revolution and proposes that “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes.”  Thanks for Reading and SharingPlease feel free to forward.
