Althea: Building a Decentralized Internet One Hardware at a Time

Episode Summary

In this episode, we interview Justin Kilpatrick and Jehan Tremback of Althea, one of the few projects in the blockchain space undertaking the herculean effort of decentralizing the Internet. Althea is a grant recipient of the Interchain Foundation (ICF) grants and is building a bridge between Cosmos and Ethereum known as Peggy. In this interview, we refer to this bridge as 'Althea Peggy'.
