Vance Spencer and Michael Anderson, co-founders of Framework Ventures, join Jason on today’s episode of “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KFuND2TIps&amp;ab_channel=BlockworksCrypto" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Empire</a>.” The founders have grown Framework’s assets under management from $14 million to over $1.4 billion in just three years.



The co-founders share their thoughts on the layer-2 scaling thesis and why every project will eventually fork their own layer-2. Vance and Michael believe the shift to layer-2s is inevitable — it’s the endgame in maximizing token value.



They then dive into staking and staking derivatives and why the Ethereum merge will bring about the birth of a new industry. This might be the most alpha ever dropped in one podcast — don’t miss it!
