Episode notes

The chapter explores the challenges and potential of using tokens like runes in blockchain ecosystems, comparing their functionality to BRC-20s and discussing the user experience issues. It touches on the rise of meme coins and the interest in using runes as a replacement, highlighting the speculative nature and the dynamics of minting and selling. Additionally, it delves into the partnership between iONnet and Aether, emphasizing the distribution of GPUs and tokens to communities and the competition among decentralized compute platforms for high-quality GPU supply.

In this episode the analysts kick things off by examining the Runes phenomenon on Bitcoin, debating whether it represents real innovation or just another trend. The conversation then shifts to the DePIN space, with a focus on Ionet's partnership to onboard 3000 high-performance GPUs. The hosts then turn their attention to Avalanche's rapid progress, including the Vryx breakthrough enabling 100K TPS. Stick around for all of this and much more!
