Deborah Simpier is the CEO of Hawk Networks and CoFounder of Althea.
In this episode, we spotlight a Cosmos L1 built for liquid infrastructure and connectivity called Althea. We’ll learn about the emerging world of liquid infrastructure, how Althea enables the funding and coordination of networked utilities, and how this can benefit us as both end users and owners of crypto-powered physical infrastructure.
