Episode notes
Modular vs. Integrated
- Modular blockchains specialize in one area, like Celestia focusing on data availability.
- Integrated blockchains combine modular components for a more complete chain, like Initia.
Ideal Users for Monad vs. Initia
- Monad focuses on EVM compatibility and high performance, benefiting developers using the EVM standard.
- Initia's app-chain focus lets developers choose VMs and customize blockchains, ideal for unique communities or temporary projects.
App Chains vs. Shared State
- dApps becoming app-chains offers flexibility but carries security risks due to code modification.
- Building within the EVM provides a sandboxed environment, limiting audit scope and potential issues.
