Episode notes

The data that exists on our system is all the user balances and also a bit of data about which particular orders have been filled. Those that are just placed but never filled are not actually going through Starquare system. The only thing that goes on chain is the deltas, the changes in the account balances, and the orders don't go on chain. And you can always go back in time on the blockchain and be able to reconstruct the entire state tree with just the delta balances basically.

This week, Anna and James chat with Antonio Juliano, founder of dYdX, a derivatives exchange on Ethereum that recently transitioned to a StarkEx-powered L2 infrastructure.

Antonio brings a product-centric perspective to using scalability tech. He explains the choice of going for StarkWare’s products and how it compares to other layer ones or rollups. The conversation delves into questions like dYdX’s position in the decentralization spectrum, how that is going to change in the future, and what the L2 solution enables on the product side.
