Sunny Aggarwal, Co-Founder, Osmosis Labs
Sunny Aggarwal is a Co-Founder of Osmosis Labs, a developer team building the Osmosis Zone AMM laboratory on the Cosmos SDK. He’s been developing blockchain technologies since he was an engineering student at UC Berkeley. In the summer of 2017, Sunny came across Cosmos and decided to leave his studies to work on the BFT consensus engine Tendermint as a Research Scientist.
Osmosis is the premier decentralized exchange of the interchain and is the primary launchpad and liquidity hub for new blockchains connecting to IBC, the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol. Over 43 chains have connected to Osmosis, with a range of Interchain assets and assets from other blockchain ecosystems available on the DEX. Osmosis supports CosmWasm and Interchain Accounts and offers simple APIs and tooling that’s giving it a gravitational pull for developers who are rapidly building an Interchain DeFi ecosystem on and around the DEX to offer yield aggregation, lending, and more.
