Exploring Value Accrual Mechanisms in Ethereum and Layer 1 Protocols

The exploration of the Ethereum Roadmap continues.

Today on the show we’re bringing back Mike Neuder who was just on the show to give his defense of the Ethereum Roadmap and we’re also joined by Blockworks Mike Ippolito who brings a wealth of knowledge from around the crypto industry to add his thoughts to the conversation.

We cover the essence of Ethereum, the current state of rollups, value accrual and much more. We end the podcast with just overall bullish vibes and reflecting on what will take to make the promises of the crypto industry manifest in reality. Enjoy!
