Welcome to Finality (formerly Frens Validator), the research and media platform exploring the business, economics, and incentives behind decentralized networks. Hosted by Juri Maibaum (Co-Founder of Frens & Cosmoverse), each episode breaks down how networks generate, secure, and distribute value, from validator operations and staking economics to restaking, modular blockchains, and network sustainability: we talk to the people building the backbone of Web3: protocol teams, validators, investors, and infrastructure experts, to uncover what drives adoption, profitability, and resilience in the next era of crypto.
What you’ll find here:
- Deep-dive interviews with leading builders & researchers
- Explainers on network economics & infrastructure trends
- The State of the Trenches (Finality’s flagship briefing)
- Insights on staking, decentralization, and validator business models
