Why Eth Needs To Scale The L1 To Remain Relevant I Logan Jastremski, Frictionless Capital

Unlayered - A podcast by Sal Qadir and Dave Apsimon

Categories:

This week, Sal (@Salxyz) and Dave (@SolBeachBum) sit down with one of the loudest and most outspoken proponents for high throughput blockchains - Logan Jastremski (@LoganJastremski) from Frictionless Capital. He discusses whether his thesis around high throughput blockchains has been proven correct, and we talk about the recent capitulation seen from within the Ethereum developer camp around scaling the L1 at the expense of reducing decentralization. Logan also talks to the relevancy and his fund's continued interest in defi primitives before talking through new verticals within the umbrella of DePIN which are likely to supercharge this burgeoning asset category. - - Episode Resources Follow Logan : https://Twitter.com/LoganJastremski Follow Frictionless Capital : https://Twitter.com/_Frictionless_ - - Podcast Resources Follow Sal: https://twitter.com/salxyz Follow Dave: https://twitter.com/SolBeachBum Follow Zen : https://twitter.com/ZenLlama Follow Unlayered: https://twitter.com/UnlayeredPod Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or Google: https://unlayered.io/ Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UnlayeredPod - - Time Stamps (0:00) - How Has High Throughput Blockchain Thesis Played Out (6:26) - Are On Chain Order Books Overhyped?
