In this episode of Bell Curve, we debate the future of L1s and the new projects hitting the crypto scene. Has the window closed for a new competitor? Or will the hot ball of money find new, niche projects that don't have the tech debt of the L1 dinos?

We also explore the future of CLOBs vs AMMs, the potential rollup future, Maker DAO's end game and a few of our favorite memes.
