For today's episode, the spotlight is on Arbitrum—not just the L2 you've come to know, but a growing network exploring new dimensions of scaling, decentralization, and interoperability. From innovative concepts like BOLD for permissionless validation to Timeboost's approach to tackling MEV and decentralized sequencing challenges, there's a lot to unpack here. So, Andy sat down with Ed Felten to discuss how Arbitrum's community, powered by its DAO, has become a proving ground for human coordination at scale. If you add in the technical strides like fast withdrawals and research into decentralized sequencing, it's clear they're addressing challenges that resonate across the onchain ecosystem in a true DAO-manner. Today's piece takes a deeper look at the latest tech research from Arbitrum DAO and Offchain Labs, balancing the technical details with the broader narrative of why this all matters. Let's dive in.

Corey Caplan and Adam Knuckey are the co-founders of Dolomite, a next-generation money market and margin trading protocol built on Arbitrum. Why you should listen The decision to build Dolomite on Arbitrum was driven by the need for faster transactions and lower gas fees compared to Ethereum mainnet. Dolomite aims to provide a better decentralized exchange experience by addressing the limitations of existing decentralized exchanges. Adam Knuckey explains that the goal of building Dolomite was to enable lending platforms for modern DeFi, incorporating features like voting, staking, vesting, and rewards. They aim to create a platform that offers decentralized exchange capabilities and maximizes yield earning potential through efficient asset utilization. Corey Caplan further discusses how Dolomite's infrastructure can solve liquidity crunch scenarios and retain control over assets during stressful situations. He highlights the ability to earn swap fees and lending yield simultaneously as a key advantage. The team tracks metrics like TVL and borrow activity while focusing on shipping utility through the platform. Despite market fluctuations, Dolomite has retained its TVL without any incentive programs due to its usefulness for users. They also mention their collaboration with OffChain Labs and Chainlink, highlighting how Dolomite relies on these teams for securing its network and valuing user collateral. The conversation shifts to broader perspectives on DeFi, with Corey discussing the analogy between the early internet and the current state of DeFi, while Adam mentions the challenges posed by unclear regulations in the industry. Adam Knuckey emphasizes the importance of approaching projects in a secure and proper manner, rather than treating legal matters as an afterthought. He acknowledges that overcoming this challenge can be difficult, but making the best efforts is crucial.

Today I am speaking with A.J. Warner, Chief Strategy Office at Offchain Labs, the founding team behind Arbitrum, an L2 offering a suite of scaling solutions for Ethereum. In addition to being one of the most well-known L2 solutions in the Ethereum community, Arbitrum is top of mind for members of The Graph ecosystem for two primary reasons: first, Arbitrum was recently added to the MIPs program and Indexers are working to add support for the chain on the decentralized network; secondly, it was recently announced that The Graph Network would be scaling to Arbitrum in order to lower the costs and barriers to participation in the protocol. During this interview, A.J. talks about his background in business, law, and real estate, his journey to Web3, what L2s are and what makes Arbitrum different, and then he helps break down all the recent news between The Graph and Arbitrum.

This week on The Defiant Podcast we speak with A.J. Warner, the Chief Strategy Officer at Offchain Labs, the builders of Arbitrum, one of the leading scaling solutions for Ethereum using Optimistic Rollups. We also welcome Tegan Kline, the co-founder of Edge Node, the initial team behind The Graph. The Defiant's Camila Russo and Tegan are co-hosting the podcast for the first time. Going forward, they will record shows together, and Tegan will also have her own Defiant podcast episodes. Scaling is now a hot topic on Ethereum and throughout the blockchain ecosystem, as all of our listeners are likely aware. According to L2Beat, Arbitrum has nearly $2.7B in total value locked. AJ goes on to explain the dapps and protocols building on Arbitrum and how they've managed to make Arbitrum the leading destination among Layer 2s. Arbitrum is one of the few scaling solutions that doesn't nod to the underlying technology it uses in its name. As AJ mentioned, their goal is to scale Ethereum without being a proponent of any scaling technology. Does this mean Arbitrum will have a zero-knowledge (ZK) component in the future?

Arbitrum, as of this writing, has the highest total value locked (TVL) across all Layer 2 protocols, at about $2.5 billionArbitrum, one of the leaders in Layer 2 scaling, has upgraded Arbitrum One to Arbitrum Nitro. The Nitro upgrade is expected to vastly increase network speeds and reduce transaction costs. The migration upgrade will reduce transaction costs through call data compression, increased Ethereum virtual machine (EVM) compatibility, and further advancing interoperability with Ethereum Layer 1, Arbitrum said. Over the past week, Arbitrum has also surpassed the second leading optimistic roll-up chain Optimism in daily transaction count.Guest: Steven Goldfeder, CEO of Offchain Labs

Guests:Ed Felten (twitter.com/edfelten)Tushar Jain (twitter.com/TusharJain_)Host:Richard Yan (twitter.com/gentso09)Today's motion is “We should always reduce MEV on blockchains."Generally speaking, MEV or Miner Extractable Value is a way for miners to derive additional revenue by executing transactions based on information in the mem pool. For instance, say a miner notices a transaction in the mem pool waiting to be included in a block. Maybe this is a transaction to buy up some cheap Ethereum. The miner can execute that purchase themselves, at the expense of the trader that placed the original order. And of course, this means value got extracted by the miner, transferred from the original trader. This behavior pattern, of course, applies to both miners and validators. Or to all block producers, to be generic.The question is, is MEV an inevitability of blockchain systems? Are there ways to reduce it? Are our resources better spent creating systems that reduce as much MEV as possible, or should we acknowledge their existence and try to distribute that MEV more fairly, or at least transparently?Our two guests today include a layer-2 founder and a VC well-versed in this area. It will be a great discussion.If you're into crypto and like to hear two sides of the story, be sure to also check out our previous episodes.

ConstitutionDAO had raised over $45 million for the auction, but was unable to compete against Griffin's final bid due to hidden expenses such as Sotheby's auction fee of 13.9% and the costs to preserve and transport the historic document.

Now that the auction is over, ConstitutionDAO is fracturing. Some members are demanding refunds while others are urging the DAO to pursue a new project with all that capital.

What many donors new to the Ethereum ecosystem didn't realize, however, was that the network's high gas fees meant no one would see their full donation amount returned.3.
