Talking point: The biggest blockchains are worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but they’re powered by open source software, which is free to use and anyone can contribute to. “We are really an extension of the open source peer-to-peer movement,” Hyman said. ChainSafe developers build software libraries, create tools for blockchain gaming and maintain core infrastructure on major protocols like Ethereum, Polkadot and Filecoin. The company makes money through grants from crypto foundations and by monetizing elements of its gaming software. As my colleague Catherine reported, venture funding for Canadian crypto firms is still hot despite an overall slowdown.
