In this episode, we dive into the shift towards ZK technology, marking the end of the optimistic rollup era. We explore Visa's entry into the stablecoin market and discuss the implications of Celestia's Lemongrass update. The conversation touches on the Eigen Layer token unlock controversy, debates around light node functionality, and the potential unveiling of Satoshi Nakamoto. We also address Edward Snowden's criticism of Solana and the importance of open source ethics in the crypto space. Thanks for tuning in!
