Episode description

Today we're talking EVM, specifically how Mega ETH and Monad are planning to make Ethereum SUPER fast.

We answer:
1 - Which is faster, more decentralized, and more censorship-resistant?
2 - How did Monad and MegaETH build large communities before even launching a testnet, let alone a mainnet?
3 - What are their thoughts on criticism that building with the EVM is like building on quicksand? Could this eat at Solana's value proposition?
