   Power of Persistence: A Staking & Restaking Hub for the Cosmos

   Persistence provides staking, liquid staking, and now, restaking services for the Cosmos ecosystem. The protocol is comprised of two components, in pSTAKE, the liquid staked asset hub, and DEXTER, a DeFi application with LST and yield-bearing token use-cases. The Cosmos ecosystem surprised some when the likes of Celestia were introduced last year, bringing attention back to the sector. Cosmos and Tendermint provide infrastructure that allows appchains to have more sovereignty, as seen with the migration of dYdX. In this podcast, our Founder and CEO, Nick Drakon, sits down with Mikhil Pandey, Co-Founder and CSO at Persistence Labs to discuss everything Persistence, Cosmos, Parallelized EVM chains, and more. 🔗 Useful Links 🔗 Persistence Project Breakdown FREE 👉 https://revelointel.com/project-breakdown/persistence/ Access our 500+ Page Annual Intel Report FREE 👉 https://revelointel.com/free Join FREE Telegram channel "Daily Intel" 👉 https://t.me/dailyintelrevelo Sub to FREE newsletter "The Daily Bolt" 👉https://revelointel.substack.com/ Revelo Intel Twitter 👉 https://twitter.com/ReveloIntel Nick Drakon Twitter 👉 https://twitter.com/NickDrakon Defi Sparks Podcast Twitter 👉 https://twitter.com/DefiSparks 🔗 Project Links 🔗 Persistence Website  👉 https://persistence.one/ Persistence Twitter 👉 https://twitter.com/PersistenceOne Mikhil Twitter 👉 https://twitter.com/PandeyMikhil ⏲ Time Stamps ⏲ 0:00 - Intro 01:37 - What is Persistence? 08:57 - Restaking & Next Steps 15:46 - Impact of Cosmos Ecosystem on Persistence 23:17 - $XPRT: Past & Present 28:05 - Role of Governance in Persistence 32:20 - Future Plans 37:45 - Parallelized EVM 39:18 - Evolution of Chains 41:38 - Parallelized EVMs' Role in Onboarding New Users 43:47 - Persistence Long-term Plans 📜 Disclaimer 📜 This video is for informational purposes only.
