In this episode, we’re joined by Ted, the Co-founder of Dill! We discussed their various design choices, why they started building Dill in the first place, and how they plan to realize the full vision of Danksharding. Additionally, we unpacked their onboarding strategy, and their place within the current data availability landscape. Finally, Ted gave us his vision for the future of modular crypto, and how Dill aims to bring it to fruition.
