    Should the Cosmos Hub Allocate 600k $ATOM to pStake? - with Mikhil Pandey

    Governance proposal 853 aims to allocate 600k $ATOM to pStake. The pStake protocol is built on top of Persistence. Persistence is a liquid staking blockchain in Cosmos.

But what are the other arguments speaking for and against allocating 600K $ATOM to pStake? What is Persistence V8? Today we sit down with Mikhil Pandey to delve deeper into these questions and reflect on the past, present, and future of liquid staking.
