Episode notes

I think for people who are who want to build certain new features or aspects that could be built on top of Ethereum, their incentive is actually to create their own L one and then just raise a shit ton amount of money for that L one. So do you think they can never be solved? Like how do you attract developers to build say like the movie M as a roll up versus building an entire L one? Well, I'm very optimistic that we'll see those kind of play out over the next couple of years.

*PS* we apologize for the background noise around the 17min mark. We have already tried to minimize it to the best we can, but it is still audible. Even amidst all the blowups in the bear market, great builders continue to build and great investors continue to support them.

Blockchain Capital is one of the earliest and leading venture capital firms in the blockchain industry. Today, Blockchain Capital manages $2 billion in AUM, and has invested in some of the largest blockchain companies like OpenSea, 1inch and Aave.

Today on Blockcrunch, we have Kinjal Shah and Yuan Han Li, Partner and Associate at Blockchain Capital to share with us:
