From Cosmos to Saga: Scaling the Appchain Vision

In this episode, we speak with Jin Kwon, co-founder of Saga,
about what it actually takes to scale blockchain ecosystems
beyond hype. From his early career at Intel to working in
investment banking, Jin shares the unexpected path that led him
to building infrastructure for the next wave of app chains in the
crypto space.


We dig into why launching a blockchain is still too complex, how
Saga rethinks this. 


Jin also explains Saga’s unique take on growth, mainstream
adoption, and treating blockspace as a commodity instead of a
scarce resource.
