Guest: Justin Kilpatrick, @[ttk314](https://twitter.com/ttk314?s=20) co-founder & CTO of [Althea](https://www.althea.net/) (Gravity Bridge builders)tl;dr—NETA transfers to Osmosis (and pools) available in the next couple days—Sunny is working on a Volatility AMM w. some BaB students (in the research phase, but sounds cool!) —Bridges as Service Providers: read the team’s [position paper](https://medium.com/osmosis/thoughts-on-osmosis-and-bridges-f8ca958b71e0)—multiple representations of assets is bad UX & it fragments liquidity—therefore in the short-term Osmosis governance should choose a canonical bridge—by taking pitches from bridges, discussing their pros and cons, and voting for one-e.g. decentralization, neutrality, inexpensive transactions, network effect, and features like Interchain Accounts, and NFT transfers, as well as connecting to other chains, esp. EVMs—Justin Kilpatrick of Althea discussed Gravity Bridge’s benefits: batched (i.e. cheap) transactions, credible neutrality, potential network effects with the Hub—timeline on withdrawals from GB: sounds like it may be end-of-month—token distribution: to the validators and comm. members who helped launch: specifics yet to be revealed—airdrop will be decided by governance: look for future proposals on-chain—Support Lab asking for next quarter of funding: [Commonwealth discussion](https://commonwealth.im/osmosis/discussion/3621-osmosis-support-labsecond-funding-round) is up: please provide support/questions, etc.—dedicated support chat coming online towards the end of February—discussion of Axelar bridge: very smooth UX enabled by a cool design feature (creating new “deposit accounts” that are associated with the account to which you are sending funds**New Format for Updates**: potentially a rotating crew of admins, maybe even give Sunny a break next week & bring on some other Osmosis devsNotes by Steviewoofwoof:https://whimsical-lightning-304.notion.site/Feb-2-Osmosis-Updates-from-the-Lab-w-Justin-Kilpatrick-Althea-Gravity-Bridge-d63c7b05200c4661b0773a8ea0ce75f3

Developing “digital twins” autonomous AI agents that do things for you (DeFi, finding parking places, etc.), and learn how to do them better as they go. Working in CosmWasm and looking to attract developers to build cool AI apps on their chain.—Bridges: we have an RFP out to the major Ethereum/EVM bridge service providers. They have till the end of the week to respond. We will collate/curate responses and plan a Town Hall / AMA for next week. Then we will vote!—Incentives: Osmosis plans to be more strategic with incentives: prioritizing 1) matching external incentives and 2) strategically important pools like UST/OSMO, ATOM/OSMO —post-superfluid roadmap: front-end refactor, fix lots of little UI bugs/inconveniences, stable-swaps, threshold encryption for making transactions in the mempool private (not viewable by validators) to mitigate MEV: threshold is a 6-month lift, but ABCI++ is coming out soon, and work with the Anoma team is progressing. — if you are a cryptographer, esp. with Rust exp., we are hiring!Notes by StevieWoofWoof:https://whimsical-lightning-304.notion.site/Feb-16-Osmosis-Updates-from-the-Lab-ft-Fetch-ai-Superfluid-Bridges-Incentives-Roadmap-992863b6e8da4fd59e94cb083ae042d1

Eddie @DynamicManic | Jacob @gadikian | Jason @jasbanza Josh!! @dogemos Sunny @sunnya97Chalabi from Chandra Station - @ChandraStationNomad: Pranay @pranaymohan James Prestwich: @_prestwichWormhole: @spacemandevtl;dr—Superfluid is still on track for the 28th, barring any last minute delays! Front-end UI is frictionless. Team is sprinting to the finish. Lots of articles and information coming in the next week, stay tuned!—ChandraStation: very active in the community, CRAFT airdrop happening soon, official info to follow, but for now, CosmosHOSS published some GitHub findings—Bridge Provider Town Hall postponed to next Wednesday, March 2, 3 PM EST, 8 PM UCT—Nomad and Wormhole teams stopped by. Much technical discussion, largely about distinguishing Nomad’s optimistic system with customizable (but fungibility-breaking) Watcher sets from Wormhole’s 19 Guardians (PoA)

**tl;dr**-bridge voting coming as soon as this week-Sunny: core devs prefer Axelar, but community should pick what it wants-Celer: combines a (traditional) multi-sig bridge model with an “optimistic” delay-buffer system like Nomad’s-they recommend generalizing that model to build a multi-bridge, where multiple bridges mint from the same contract and serve as guardians for each other with the same delay-buffer system-Sunny: that fungifying model might work, but it has very high latency, and the engineering lift on the Osmosis end would be heavy — and as an appchain, we can switch to a multi-bridge in the future if it makes sense-next big priority is stableswap-other updates coming along, CosmWasm improvements, TokenFactory, interchain accounts: these will enable Isotonic (lending), Quasar Yearn-style vaults on Osmosis, and DTF (a 3rd-party Osmosis ETF project)Notes by Steviewoofwoof:https://whimsical-lightning-304.notion.site/Mar-09-Osmosis-Updates-from-the-Lab-ft-Celer-Network-Mo-Dong-44566639e70a4c5ba4ef4b15a6a8c101

Massive deal for getting more talent and projects flowing into Osmosis to build our utility and value and compete against the CEXs—bridge service provider proposals are in the works, & a proposal to lengthen voting window from 3-day to 5-day

Initial props to include paying Alphaworks for building, allowing ION LP to be staked for voting rights, and the [IONize proposal](https://commonwealth.im/ion/discussion/3225-ionize-proposal) for Alphaworks to build the synthetic asset protocol — ETA: 3 months-spam attack on Osmosis: Keplr making zero-fee transactions non-default, and Osmosis moving to fully implement the already developed multi-denom fee payments-stableswap, Isotonic, and front-end refactor moving aheadNotes by Steviewoofwoof:https://whimsical-lightning-304.notion.site/Mar-23-Osmosis-Updates-from-the-Lab-ft-Jake-Kim-ION-DAO-b770ff2944ed4033a9dfbadcc29869cf

As recently stated in a tweet by Chris Dixon, General Partner at a16z, “We are now at the beginning of the web3 era, which combines the decentralized, community-governed ethos of web1 with the advanced, modern functionality of web2.”Join Chjango Unchained, Host of Interchain.FM, Osmosis Labs Advisor, Cosmos Head of Ecosystem and Alani Kuye, Technical Program Manager at Overclock Labs as they discuss the deeper meaning behind web3. Why does the world need a new technological system for financial security, cloud technologies and maybe most importantly, privacy? What are the teams behind Osmosis and Akash Network doing to help bridge the old world and the new? How does web3 solve the issues of legacy technologies?We’ll cover all this and much more in a very special fireside chat!--------------------Official Osmosis LinkEnter the Lab and Earn:https://osmosis.zone  Frontier site:https://frontier.osmosis.zone  Docs:http://docs.osmosis.zone Read about the OSMO token distribution:https://medium.com/osmosis/osmo-token...  Learn more about what it means to be a Liquidity Provider:https://medium.com/osmosis/osmosis-li...  Join the CommunityFacebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/Osmosiszone Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/osmos...  Twitter:https://twitter.com/osmosiszone  Reddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/OsmosisLab Discord:https://discord.gg/osmosis  Telegram:https://t.me/osmosis_chat  Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/osmosis.zone Medium:https://medium.com/osmosis  Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/Osmosiszone...Governance:https://gov.osmosis.zone Podcast:https://podcast.labupdates.zone  GitHub:https://github.com/osmosis-labs  Community updates:https://medium.com/osmosis-community-...    Interchain Wallet Keplr:https://www.keplr.app Keplr Support:   https://help.keplr.app  ⚠️Keplr does not have a Telegram channel, existing ones are scams⚠️
