Sometimes, the frontier is at a crypto conference. One of the most prestige being, ETHDenver! We’re back with a handful of exclusive interviews with some of the most fascinating minds in crypto. 

Wish you could make it to all the crypto conferences, but don't have the time? Don't worry, Bankless brings the frontier to you.

In this episode, we’re talking to Sergey Gorbunov about the purpose of the Interoperability Summit at ETHDenver, the interoperable frontier, the differences between the Axelar and Cosmos and so much more.
