In this episode, we’re joined by Steven Goldfeder, Co-Founder and CEO of Offchain Labs, the team behind Arbitrum.

We cover key developments within the Orbit ecosystem, the concept and significance of chain clusters, and the most exciting chains being developed today. We also break down Arbitrum’s business model and how institutions like Franklin Templeton and Robinhood are integrating with the onchain ecosystem.


The discussion concludes with Steven’s vision of Arbitrum's success as a leader in various verticals, from DeFi to gaming to institutional finance, driven by innovative applications powered by the Nitro tech stack.
