Non Custodial Staking, Economics and the Recipe for Success with Guillem Ferrer

This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Guillem Ferrer, from Dragon Stake

DragonStake is a blockchain security team specialising in non-custodial staking. The team operates validators on various high-profile Proof of Stake networks, such as Cosmos, Polkadot, Kusama, Kava, Avalanche, Evmos, and plans to expand to Ethereum in the future. The team actively engages with the networks it supports and aim to participate in testnets from their early stages.

Our guest Guillem Ferrer details how we went from initially being critical of Bitcoin, to actively trying to grow and promote Web3 education across platforms.
