I was just retweeting all these teams, getting somewhere between 1000 and like $50,000. And it felt like I was reminded of Andreas Hanson-Oppolis's meme of the festival of the commons when more people use the same systems is actually improves. This is the nature of open source. But now when you inject economics into these, the festival ofthecommons, all of a sudden you have retroactive public goods funding. All of a sudden that feels very, very festival of the Commons to me. It makes me optimistic. Yeah. The builders are feeling the energy. You know, like the moment is now. We're on the cusp of a layer two summer.
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"?
