After a decade of existence, Ethereum has gone a long way from its initial whitepaper, yet many efforts in scaling and finding product-market-fit have been severely criticized for falling short of their promise. However, despite numerous other ‘Ethereum killers' being launched over the years, none has managed to attract so many developers and liquidity while sticking true to ethos that (once) powered and united this industry. This year's ETHPrague plans to confront exactly these existential challenges and steward community culture towards addressing outside criticism and external reality checks. Ethereum's development, while adapting to market pressures, it always aimed to stick true to its core values in order to remain a technological bedrock for the future of humanity.Topics covered in this episode:The vision for ETH PragueTakeaways from main sessionsHigh-level overview of ETH PragueThe resurgence of PolkadotEuropean crypto summer eventsThe general state of the Ethereum ecosystemCelo's transition to L2L2 liquidity fragmentationChoosing the right L2 to buildImproving hackathonsLightning roundFinal wordsEpisode links:Austin Griffith on XMarek Olszewski on XBrenda Loya on XJoseph Schweitzer on XBuidlGuidl DAO on XCelo on XTellor on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

The era of "build it and they will come" is over. Crypto projects need real revenue, real users, and real sustainability. Or they just won't survive.In this episode, we chat with Kenny from Manta about the shift happening in the industry. No longer are we just experimenting; it's all about finding product-market fit. We dig into why DeFi is still crypto's biggest use case, how L2s are slowly becoming irrelevant, and why starting with centralized products might just be the answer to mass onchain adoption.Kenny explains why projects should think like Robin Hood instead of pure web3 natives, shares Manta's evolution from Polkadot L1 to Ethereum L2, and breaks down how revenue generation is reshaping builder mindsets across the space.Let's get into it.---Newton is the trust layer for autonomous finance.

As society evolves, so do its values and principles, but is that desirable for technology that seeks to build the most reliable, trustless and censorship resistant global settlement layer? Ever since the rise in popularity of Solana with its inflow of retail capital in a memecoin gold rush, Ethereum became even more criticized for sticking true to its core values despite the completely divergent demands of market participants. Moreover, the rollup centric scaling roadmap seemed to further silo attention and cause liquidity fragmentation, driving away value from Ethereum mainnet. As institutional demand is expected to grow with the introduction of staking ETFs, a new executive leadership took charge of Ethereum foundation to help steer the protocol's narrative at the intersection between community demands and Ethereum's ethos.Topics covered in this episode:Hsiao-Wei's & Tomasz' backgroundsHow they became co-executive directors of Ethereum FoundationEthereum Foundation's role moving forwardDecision making in Ethereum FoundationShaping Ethereum's narrativeThe layer 2 landscapeScaling Ethereum as the global settlement layerShardingRollup scalability & their trade-offsWhat values drive adoptionL2 interoperabilityFuture goalsEpisode links:Hsiao-Wei Wang on XTomasz Stanczak on XEthereum Foundation on XEthereum on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Taiko is a decentralized, Ethereum-equivalent (type I) rollup scaling solution which uses ZK technology. Taiko's goal is to scale Ethereum efficiently while maintaining security and decentralization. Being a type I zkEVM, Taiko retains full Ethereum equivalence, which creates a seamless DevEx, although this comes at the expense of UX as slower proof generation is the main trade-off. Moreover, in order to stay true to its decentralised ethos, Taiko operates as a based rollup, meaning that transaction sequencing is performed by L1 validators.Topics covered in this episode:Joaquin's backgroundLoopring and Taiko's beginningsThe 4 types of zkEVMsTaiko's zk circuits vs. Polygon'sBased sequencingData availability and blob commitmentEthereum's role in the futureThe L2 landscape and its compromisesSequencer security modelDealing with MEVBased preconfirmations & Taiko ecosystem UXEpisode links:Joaquin Mendes on XTaiko on XLoopring on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

In this special English-speaking episode, John hosts Anna (Head of Business Development) and Leen (VP of Product) from Rarible, one of the historical NFT platforms. Rem was missing (playfully excused for the episode being in English!).The conversation revisited Rarible's roots as a pioneer offering open, permissionless minting in contrast to highly curated platforms like SuperRare. John shared personal memories, like launching the NFT Revolution book via Rarible back in 2021.Key topics covered:* Rarible's Evolution: Rarible has shifted from a pure NFT marketplace to a B2B infrastructure leader. They now specialize in building white-label marketplaces for big brands and new blockchains (similar to Shopify for NFTs), leveraging their in-house APIs and tech stack.* Major Projects: Examples include custom marketplaces for Mattel (Hot Wheels NFTs on Flow), BearChain, and Eclipse (on the Solana-Ethereum hybrid chain). Their strategy is now strongly multi-chain and use-case diversified (art, gaming, DeFi, RWAs).* Rarible's Business Model: They offer a toolbox for partners—technical infrastructure + visibility via Rarible's community and co-marketing efforts. They assist new blockchains and projects in launching successfully and gaining liquidity.* New Launch: Rarible.fun: Rarible unveiled a new fast, user-friendly platform, Rarible.fun, built on MegaETH (the ultra-fast Ethereum L2). It's designed to bring back the "fun" in NFTs with super easy minting, simple UX, and multi-chain plans. They already hit 5.8M mints in a few days on testnet!* Focus on Real-World Assets (RWAs): Rarible is positioning itself to support tokenized real-world assets, offering end-to-end infrastructure for asset tokenization and marketplace creation.* Community and Artist Support: Rarible continues supporting artists through Launchpads and new platforms like Scope (on Eclipse) and via initiatives like the Residency Program for digital artists at the upcoming NFC Lisbon.* Upcoming Presence at NFC Lisbon 2025: Rarible will have a big presence at NFC Lisbon (June 4-6), including an immersive booth experience and an open call for artists to participate in an exclusive digital art residency.* Vision: Despite market cycles, Rarible is doubling down on NFTs, confident that NFTs and tokenized assets will become the backbone of future commerce.Key Quote of the Episode:"NFTs are the future of all commerce, and we are building the infrastructure to power it." (Leen)

Avi Zurlo is the new CEO at =nil; Foundation building an Ethereum L2 powered by zkSharding. =nil; Foundation is rolling out Testnet v1 for its Ethereum Layer 2 solution, powered by zkSharding. This launch marks a major step on their roadmap after the initial Devnet release in July. With zkSharding, =nil; Foundation's new L2 combines the efficiency of appchains with the cohesive capabilities of a monolithic blockchain, aiming to offer unmatched scalability and interoperability for Ethereum developers. Why you should listen In this conversation, Avi Zirlo, CEO of NIL Foundation, discusses his journey in the crypto space, the vision and goals of NIL Foundation, and the significance of ZK sharding in building scalable applications on Ethereum. By enabling zero-knowledge (zk) proofs and sharding, =nil; allows developers to build scalable decentralized applications. Each shard in its architecture processes transactions independently but reports back to a primary shard, which validates and syncs data across Ethereum. This approach promises enhanced transaction efficiency, security, and low costs, making =nil; a robust framework for developing high-performance blockchain applications. Avi shares insights on the current landscape of Ethereum layer 2 solutions, the launch of NIL's testnet, and the focus on developer experience.

For today's episode we're excited to return to the Impact on Optimism Series for the second episode! In this series, we highlight gamechanging public goods projects in the Optimism Ecosystem, and today, we have a super interesting conversation in store centered around the Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem.For episode 2 of the Impact on Optimism miniseries, we're excited to welcome Tobias Schreier, Co-Founder of growthepie, a Layer 2 fundamentals and blockspace analytics platform on a mission to help scale Ethereum!  We dive into the complex Ethereum L2 ecosystem,  the exciting momentum around the Superchain, the Web3 public goods funding ecosystem, Optimism's RetroPGF program, and much more.--Three Key Takeaways--The L2 ecosystem is rapidly evolving, with new L2s launching on a regular basis. Given the complexity of the L2 ecosystem, and the various use cases of L2s, it can be difficult to stay up to date and understand the L2 ecosystem, especially for those that are new to Web3. As such, it's important to have open, accessible, and transparent metrics and analytics to help navigate this complex landscape.There are several metrics that can be helpful in evaluating the sustainability of L2s and which one to build or transact on. These include the cost per transaction, the stablecoin market cap on the L2, chain profitability, and the types of activity (i.e. DeFi, NFT sales) that are most prominent on the chain.The Superchain is a network of layer 2 blockchains that are built on the open source OP stack. This allows builders to launch their own chain, giving them the freedom to optimize for their use case while still keeping consistency and connection between the different chains. Participants in the superchain get the benefits of the OP stack as it pertains to security, bridging, and updates from the OP Collective.--Full shownotes with links available at--https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruism-podcast-impact-on-optimism-episode-2-growthepie-scaling-ethereum-l2s-and-the-superchain-as-a-positive-sum-game

As more and more L2s launch promising to scale Ethereum, they end up competing for the same market share, userbase and liquidity. Apart from this harsh reality, crosschain interactions should be as seamless as possible in order to bridge different L2 ecosystems. Polygon envisions a scalable future in which various zero knowledge rollups post their proofs on an aggregation layer before settling on Ethereum, thus lowering latency and transaction costs as crosschain interactions take place expeditiously, without involving the L1 mainnet.We were joined by Sandeep Nailwal & Brendan Farmer, to discuss Polygon's aggregation layer and how it aims to solve the current fragmentation of Ethereum L2 scaling solutions.Topics covered in this episode:Polygon's ZK expansion and the acquisition of Mir ProtocolPolygon's aggregation layerBlock building between different L2sShared sequencing & asynchronous sequencingSecurity guarantees of the aggregation layerSequencer decentralisation & censorship resistanceChains using Polygon's aggregation layerPessimistic proofsCan optimistic rollups be included in the aggregation layer?Type 1 prover and Plonky3The evolution of ZKP systemsEnsuring ZK rollup integrityThe future of scalabilityEpisode links:Sandeep Nailwal on TwitterBrendan Farmer on TwitterPolygon on TwitterSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.
