Explore the concept of Data Availability (DA) in the crypto space, its business model and economics. Dive into the DA Market with participants like Celestia and EigenDA. Discuss network effects, DA value capture, and the future of DA. Learn about Solana DA and the implications for the crypto space.

Nick White, COO of Celestia, and Neel Somani, founder of Eclipse, discuss the tradeoffs of modular vs integrated blockchains. They cover topics such as the modular thesis, bringing the SVM to Ethereum, hidden costs of modularity, centralized sequencers and L2s, where value will accrue, and more!

Caldera and Eclipse CEOs discuss no-code web3 infrastructure, Solana VM, building layer-2 blockchains in hours, customizability, chain interoperability, economics, DePIN use case, and selling founders. Exploring Ethereum L1 challenges, EVM-based L2 solutions, ZK proofs, and proof-based mechanisms for interacting with blockchain networks.

Neel Somani, the founder of Eclipse, discusses his personal journey in crypto, building an L2, dream customers, go-to-market strategy, differentiated ecosystem, Eclipse's culture, time management, and building a cap table.

Neel Somani, CEO & Co-Founder of Eclipse, discusses the integration of Solana's virtual machine with Ethereum as a Layer 2 solution. They explore the advantages of Solana's parallelized transaction execution and the scalability challenges faced by Ethereum. The podcast also touches on the tradeoff between security and optimization in Ethereum roll-ups, the unique approach of Eclipse combining elements from different blockchains, and the competition among projects. They also discuss the potential impact of Eclipse, the current status of the project, and the features of Ethereum layer Validium with SVM execution.
