Community building, non-custodial staking and being better than yesterday with Guillem Ferrer

This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Guillem Ferrer, from Dragon Stake DragonStake is a blockchain security team specialising in non-custodial staking. The team operates validators on various high-profile Proof of Stake networks, such as Cosmos, Polkadot, Kusama, Kava, Avalanche, Evmos, and plans to expand to Ethereum in the future. The team actively engages with the networks it supports and aim to participate in testnets from their early stages.
