Episode notes

There are 30 million developers in the world, which is three orders of magnitude. So we've been doing a lot to try and kind of create on ramps for people who are traditional Web2 developers that want to be coming into crypto. We're also right now piloting internally what we call Base Bootcamp, which is a full bootcamp. And then I think we're also helping folks who are using some of our other developer products.

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"?
