Episode notes

The clearest like simplest benefit would be if you're a ZK roll up and the proofs that you would be posting to ethereum particularly if those are really expensive to verify. I mean you could do different forms of like aggregating those and like converting them to different Proofs that are cheaper to verify on e Ethereum. But in general it probably makes sense to just dump them on an L2 yeah aggregate a bunch of them and then we settled them back down becauselike it's cheaper to use there.

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.
