Edgard of Status | Status Super App Reborn – Decentralised Infrastructure and Autonomous Communities
Hashing It OutThis is a special episode of Hashing in Out in which Corey, D, and Jesse, meet with "Edgard" about the impending relaunch of Status – the super app for decentralised communities, and the recent launch of the new website (https://status.app/). Corey, former Chief Security Officer of Status and now involved in program management of Logos, is deeply familiar with Status and the challenges associated with building decentralised infrastructure. Edgard breaks down the last two years of developing Status, staying true to core principles, and some very exciting new features to come.
