The potential impact of layer 2 scaling solutions, such as rollups and their associated dynamics (e.g., data availability solutions like Eigen), on Ethereum's monetary policy is discussed.
The episode discusses various layer 2 scaling solutions like Optimism, Arbitrum, zkSync, Celo, and Swell, and their role in reducing transaction fees and increasing throughput.
Layer 2 solutions like rollups are discussed in the context of their ability to inherit the core limitations of Ethereum.
The episode focuses specifically on Layer 2 scaling solutions for Ethereum, such as rollups, and the fragmentation issues they face.
The podcast episodes discuss various Layer 2 scaling solutions for Ethereum, such as rollups (both optimistic and zero-knowledge), and how they can help address the network's scalability challenges.
For example, episode ''Ethereum Needs Polygon's Aggregation Layer to Scale' focuses specifically on the role of Layer 2 solutions like rollups in solving the current fragmentation of Ethereum scaling. Other episodes, such as ''ROLLUP: Blobs Arrive | BTC New High | ETH ETF? | Bankless 4th Birthday'', examine the technical developments and adoption of Layer 2 solutions like Optimism, Arbitrum, and zkSync.
The podcasts also touch on how Layer 2 scaling can impact Ethereum's monetary policy, as discussed in episodes like ''The Debate Over ETH's Monetary Policy | DH + RSA''.
