Bankless
About this episode

In today’s episode, we do a shared sequencing deep dive with repeat guest, Mr. Moonmath himself, the Blockchain Brainiac, and the Ethereum Evangelist– Justin "The Juggernaut" Drake. Justin is joined by The Sultan of Sequencing, the Espresso Emperor, the Cross-Rollup Connoisseur himself, Ben, the Blockchain Barista Fisch.  

Where the fragments of Ethereum threaten to turn the digital ecosystem into a maze of confusion, these two men stand tall, illuminating the way, to come and save us from the labyrinth of Ethereum’s rollup-centric roadmap.
