Introducing our next speaker. We are excited to welcome @buchmanster, Co-Founder of Cosmos and CEO of Informal Systems, to Cosmoverse 2025. Ethan has been at the forefront of blockchain innovation for over a decade, pioneering the Cosmos tech stack - the foundational technology enabling sovereign, interoperable blockchain networks. Through his leadership at @informalinc, Ethan has driven major advancements, from Malachite, a flexible BFT consensus engine built in Rust for high-performance stacks, to Cycles, the Open Clearing Protocol that delivers privacy and capital-efficient infrastructure for payments and finance. His presence in Split this October brings one of the ecosystem’s founding voices back to the Cosmoverse stage!
