Episode notes

The chapter explores the concept of revenue distribution in decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and its impact on liquidity and growth. It discusses the differences between DEXs on Ethereum and Solana, highlighting the control over volume and fees. The speakers also touch on the importance of yield and exponential returns for investors in project treasuries.

In this week's analyst table we are joined by Ren and Brick of the Blockworks research team to dive into the latest crypto news and governance updates. We analyze Noble's proposal to onboard as a Cosmos Hub consumer chain and share revenue back to the Hub. Spurred by Arbitrum's launch of Orbit, we also debate the long-term sustainability of layer 2 networks and whether competition will drive fees lower. Next, we examine dYdX's expanding validator set and the rise of liquid staking services like Stride. Later on, we dissect GBTC outflows and discuss how the SEC stalled Bitcoin adoption. Finally, we explore Orca's fee switch and the importance of widening minority representation for network security. Stay tuned for all this and much more!
