John Adler's Crypto Journey
- John Adler co-founded Fuel Labs and Celestia Labs, contributing to modular blockchain stacks.
- His advisor's Mt. Gox selfie sparked his interest, leading him to scalability research and optimistic rollups.
Fuel: A Modular Execution Layer
- Fuel is the fastest modular execution layer, exceeding other rollups in throughput.
- It's more than a rollup, prioritizing features like off-chain light clients for trust minimization.
Defining Rollups
- Rollups post data to a data layer (like Ethereum) and use fraud/validity proofs.
- They require permissionless transaction insertion to prevent halting or censorship.
