Sunny Aggarwal is the Co-Founder of Osmosis, the premier DEX and DeFi hub for the Cosmos ecosystem and beyond. To date, the Osmosis DEX has facilitated over $35 Billion in trading volume, and more than 100 separate blockchains have connected to the Osmosis blockchain. At Tendermint, Sunny served as a Core Developer of the Cosmos SDK and contributed to the development and launch of Cosmos and IBC.
