Episode notes

Privacy solutions in blockchain have been a focus for Ethereum at the L2 level, while Solana is also exploring options at the layer two level. These layer two solutions can be applied to networks like Solana and Sui, and are particularly suitable for high-throughput networks where data is a bottleneck in determining costs. The main expense in posting data to the L1 network is highlighted as a crucial factor, emphasizing the importance of addressing data costs for blockchain transactions.

Logan Jastremski joins us to discuss how parallelizable, high-throughput blockchains are the solution for scalable crypto products. We start with Logan's high-throughput thesis, why isolated fee markets and parallel computation are crucial features and how to analyze node requirements. Logan then explains why L2s won't scale, how DAS solutions are a feature, not a product, and his take on AppChains vs sector-specific chains.

And as usual, we start the episode with our analyst bullpen to discuss Coinbase, liquid staking derivatives post Shapella, rETH's withdrawal design and token incentive design.
