Episode notes

The Solana ecosystem has a very different belief system about what blockchain should be. You can't, you couldn't get Solana to integrate with Ethereum. So keeping those things separate is much better than putting them together. Eric Wall said that all layer twos must be EVM compatible or else it's just not going to work. He then switched his opinion to actually a layer two does need to take the chance of getting away from the EVM. This is kind of a hard tweet to read, but he's saying that that take happened fast within me and no with no notice. I just woke up and felt one day felt different.
