Federico has been a core contributor to a number of Cosmos projects including Tendermint, the Cosmos SDK, IBC, Gravity Bridge, and Sommelier and has been building in the blockchain space since 2017 when he was an exchange student at UC Berkeley (and member of Blockchain at Berkeley). He is also the Co-Founder of Evmos, a protocol designed to enable seamless interoperability between Ethereum and the IBC-enabled blockchains of the Cosmos ecosystem. This latest effort is part of his multi-year work building the foundations of the Internet of Blockchains, a new and hyper-scalable paradigm that sees blockchains as independent projects to be connected in a web.
