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.

Blockchain architecture is constantly being forced to adapt to new technologies, as well as to meet new demands from users and builders. While the idea of apps building their own chains was first explored by Cosmos, it lacked the support and tooling to see it succeed. Later on, rollups also took the centerstage of Ethereum's scaling roadmap, but due to their general purpose design, it led to a cannibalistic ecosystem. Initia learned from these 2 models and combined the best of both worlds: it built a full-stack framework for a seamless DevEx from the get-go and, more importantly, it designed its tokenomics in order to ensure maximum incentive alignment for its appchains. While the former decision removed the need for each separate chain to reinvent the wheel and risk ending up ‘a jack of all trades, master of none', the latter ensured that appchains would not extract value away from the L1.Topics covered in this episode:Ezaan's backgroundFrom building on Terra to InitiaHow Initia is rewriting the appchain thesisInitia's enshrined liquidity & vested interest program (VIP)Metrics & Initia's bet on crypto innovationSolving liquidity fragmentationDelphi's involvement in InitiaFuture roadmapEpisode links:Ezaan Mangalji on XJose Maria Macedo on XAnil Lulla on XInitia on XDelphi Digital on XDelphi report on InitiaSponsors: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 Episode 186 of Web3 with Sam Kamani, I sit down with Willem Schroe, co-founder of Botanix Labs, to discuss the future of Bitcoin and the role Layer 2 solutions like Botanix will play in expanding the Bitcoin ecosystem. Willem and his team are building Spiderchain, a Layer 2 EVM on Bitcoin that opens up decentralized financial applications and scalability like never before. We dive deep into macroeconomic topics such as Bitcoin's deflationary nature, its role as a store of value, and whether people will start spending Bitcoin for everyday transactions. We also explore the technical and economic potential of Bitcoin's layer two infrastructure, how Botanix reduces gas fees, and what decentralized finance on Bitcoin might look like in the coming years. Key Timestamps [00:00:00] Introduction: Sam introduces Willem Schroé, co-founder of Botanix Labs, to discuss building a Layer 2 solution on Bitcoin, Spiderchain, and the evolution of Bitcoin as a financial ecosystem. [00:02:00] Willem's Journey: Willem shares how his background in cryptography and time in the Middle East inspired him to dedicate his work to advancing the Bitcoin ecosystem. [00:05:00] What is Botanix? Willem explains how Botanix is a Layer 2 EVM on Bitcoin that allows for the development of decentralized applications (DeFi, DEXs, lending protocols) on Bitcoin. [00:08:30] Bitcoin as a Global Financial System: Willem discusses how Botanix can bring applications like decentralized exchanges and lending platforms to Bitcoin, enabling users to borrow against their Bitcoin holdings. [00:10:00] Overcoming Bitcoin's Speed and Scalability Issues: Willem addresses the challenge of Bitcoin being slow and hard to build on, and how Layer 2 solutions like Botanix can scale Bitcoin while maintaining security and decentralization. [00:13:00] Paying Gas Fees in Bitcoin: How Botanix allows users to pay gas fees in Bitcoin on Layer 2, providing a seamless experience for Bitcoin users. [00:16:00] Deflationary Bitcoin and Spending: Willem debates the idea that people won't spend deflationary assets like Bitcoin, explaining how customer demand will unlock Bitcoin for spending in DeFi applications. [00:19:00] Bitcoin Yield: Willem introduces the concept of Bitcoin yield through decentralized Layer 2 solutions, making it possible to generate yield in Bitcoin without leaving the Bitcoin ecosystem. [00:23:00] Bitcoin TVL (Total Value Locked) Growth: How the infrastructure being built on Bitcoin, including stablecoins and DeFi products, will drive a significant increase in Bitcoin's TVL. [00:27:00] Contrarian Views: Willem shares his belief that Bitcoin requires a decentralized Layer 2, and why decentralized finance infrastructure will drive greater adoption of Bitcoin. [00:31:00] Final Thoughts: Willem provides a call to action for developers, users, and businesses interested in building on Bitcoin using Botanix and unlocking the potential of Layer 2 on Bitcoin.

As Ethereum's roadmap shifted to a rollup-centric approach, a plethora of rollups have been launched, to the point where L3s have been conceptualized. Celestia sits at the forefront of modularity as it aims to replace the monolithic blockchain architecture with specialized layers that are more suited for scalability and customization. As a result, Celestia strictly focuses on data availability to accommodate the recent rollup expansion, as data storage represents the largest portion of fees on L2s. The Lemongrass upgrade lays the foundation for further use cases being enabled through Celestia, mainly revolving around interoperability and zk proof enabled ‘lazy bridging'. Topics covered in this episode:The vision behind CelestiaRollup architectureCentralised sequencers and the role of fraud proofsCelestia's market shareRollkit & sovereign rollupsGovernance & light clientsThe importance of decentralisation: L1s vs. rollupsCelestia's data availability capacityLatency & Celestia block timesInteroperability & ‘lazy bridging'The Lemongrass upgradeOn-chain economics & value accrualInterchain accounts on CelestiaCrypto's mainstream adoptionFuture roadmapEpisode links:Mustafa Al-Bassam on TwitterIsmail Khoffi on TwitterCelestia on TwitterSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

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.
