Are L2s Parasitic? | Roundup
Episode description
In this episode, Mike and Myles opened with discussion on crypto’s meme culture, and Near’s recent marketing stunt. They then moved on to one of our industries hottest topics: the L1 value accrual debate. Is a rollup centric roadmap good, or bad, for Ethereum? How should we think about value capture? Additionally, they wondered, how valuable is interoperability? Finally, they closed by diving into community formation around decentralized networks.
Thanks for tuning in!
