E30: Coqnet - How GoGoPool is Helping Build Avalanche's Cultural Epicenter with Steven Gates

Summary In this episode of the 2Six Podcast, Luke and Adrian interview Steven Gates from GoGoPool. They discuss the vision behind GoGoPool and its role in the Avalanche network. They also discuss liquid staking and how GoGoPool allows users to stake AVAX and earn yield through their ggAVAX token. They mention the upcoming launch of the Coqnet and the improvements in the Avalanche 2.0 upgrade. The conversation covers various topics related to the Coqnet and the future of GoGoPool. The Coqnet is expected to become the cultural epicenter of the Avalanche network, with thousands of subnets and a wide range of applications. The goal is to create a more transparent, fair, and cheaper system that allows users to control their data. Blockchains are seen as an alternative to closed systems that dominate the current internet landscape. GoGoPool aims to be central to all subnets and power the staking for them.
