Welcome to “The Chopping Block” – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Robert Leshner, and Tarun Chitra chop it up about the latest news. In this episode, the gang plays “guess the chart” and takes a deep dive into the booming world of Ethereum Layer 2s.
Show highlights:
- how much Layer 2s are spending to post data to Ethereum
- whether L2s suck up all the value of ETH
- the challenge of providing a good user experience across multiple rollups
- how the underlying technology of security is not improving but attackers are getting more sophisticated
- whether centralized lending in the industry is dead
- why crypto users still hold stablecoins that yield much lower than Treasury bills
- the new approach to bringing real-world assets and tokenized yields to blockchains
- whether all L2s are running via proof of authority
- whether alternative Layer 1s are dead or are actually more important than ETH L2s
