Episode notes

Aristrum has been launching so early and with their training wheels on they have been using these centralized sequences to provide users really good user experience.

In this episode, we explore Jon’s journey into crypto and our mutual passion for research and the writing process. We then give an overview over the key areas of crypto infrastructure today. Finally, we zoom into rollup decentralization roadmaps, and Jon shares a controversial new thesis about sequencer decentralization.
