Episode notes

This chapter explores the evolution of DApps and the debate on whether every application should operate as its own app chain or if a shared layer one can be more efficient. The discussion focuses on the benefits of a large shared global state and the concept of atomic composability for seamless app interactions.

In this episode, Keone from Monad and Zon from Initia to discuss the spectrum between modular and integrated blockchain designs. They explore the tradeoffs in decentralization, performance and scalability between the two approaches. They explore AppChains, rollups, composability challenges in modular systems, EVM compatibility, and when to scale blockchains horizontally vs vertically. To close out Keone and Zon also share valuable insights on building Web3 communities organically. Thanks for tuning in!
