I think a reason why so many people find themselves in the crypto industry, they kind of understand that the old institutions are crumbling. And we also have new institutions that look and feel like our old institutions like Coinbase. It's a new crypto bank and it does better things than old banks, but it's still the same form factor. But when you tell me that anyone building an OP Sac chain has formed, I don't know what it's like, a telegram group of what you call the super team. That feels like the net new form factor Totally.
Today on the show we welcome back Jesse Pollak. Jesse is the Head of Protocols at Coinbase and the Creator of Base.
Base plays the important role of trailblazing the future of Layer 2's and doesn't let it's centralized parent get in the way of innovation. Can Base be the spark that kicks off "Layer 2 Summer"?
