How Telekom becomes a Crucial Infrastructure Provider in Web3 - with Wolfgang Michael Kraus

The Deutsche Telekom AG has become a crucial infrastructure provider in the crypto industry. The enterprise offers Cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service and also allows you to stake your crypto assets via their own infrastructure. So far, the enterprise supports infrastructure with validators on the following networks: Ethereum ($ETH), Polkadot ($DOT), Polygon ($MATIC), Celo ($CELO), Chainlink ($LINK), and Flow ($FLOW). But how will this development continue? Does the enterprise plan to onboard more networks in the future? What are some common challenges that enterprises with the size of the Deutsche Telekom AG need to overcome? And what is the competition thinking of Telekom's moves in Web3? This and much more is what we have discussed with Wolfgang Michael Kraus, Consultant for Public Blockchain Technology at Deutsche Telekom AG.
