Parcl, a pioneering Solana-based platform, aims to revolutionize the real estate market by introducing liquidity to this traditionally illiquid asset class. It created a comprehensive real estate index with a marketplace that facilitates browsing of global real estate indices and cross-margin perpetual contract trading. Having raised $11.6 million through two financing rounds, Parcl demonstrates a significant interest from investors. In a conversation with co-founder Kellan Grenier, we explore the platform's technical framework, its approach to overcoming real estate challenges, and its strategy for future token issuance, offering insights into both the innovative potential and the complexities of modernizing real estate transactions with blockchain technology.

Welcome
As a nomad, what's the quick dish you've been making yourself a lot lately? When you travel and live around, what experimental community event inspired you the most? What are you most excited to work on these days? Doesn't have to be Ethereum/crypto related.Dencun upgrades & Ethereum Roadmap
How does the Dencun upgrade contribute to the Ethereum ecosystem? Can you share how the reduction in transaction costs facilitated by EIP-4844 will impact the ethereum ecosystem? What do you envision as the single most transformative impact Ethereum will have on society in the next five years? Dencun, and L2s are scaling Ethereum, and AA is making it easier for end users to not deal with the tech. Do you see a future where Blockchains could be abstracted away for end users, and if so, what would Ethereum's place be in such a world? Can you explain how you see the current challenges in Ethereum's proof of stake, and how single-slot finality (SSF) and other upgrades could address those issues? How do Verkle trees address the pressing need for enhanced scalability and better node decentralization in Ethereum? We have seen many projects proposing ''modularize blockchain'' solutions, and we're also seeing ideas that the Ethereum L1 could be responsible for shared sequencing. How do you see the broader question: what are the functions that an L1 should handle centrally, and what should be left to individual L2s?Security & Privacy
How does zk address the trust issue for non-technical individuals? How can they know if zk truly achieves de-identification? How do you propose Ethereum can address the pressing concern of quantum-enabled threats, and what implications does this have for the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem? Will there be a standard of criteria or symptoms the foundation has already predicted or estimated for the community to be alerted it's a quantum attack?Industry Trends
In your opinion, what are the key benefits of integrating AI with cryptocurrency, and how might this reshape the industry? In a February tweet, you discussed AI's role in debugging code, which is crucial for Ethereum. Could you provide further thoughts on how AI could be used in crypto and Ethereum? What is your opinions on eth restaking fever? (Like Eigenlayer, which claim to provide ''trust of Ethereum'' to actively validated services) You are more active on Farcaster than Twitter? Do you think DeSocial applications like Farcaster can really compete with Web2 social apps or be able to subvert the social pattern? In the face of greater institutional adoption and greater concentration of power within crypto, how can the industry stay true to its original ethos of decentralisation and freedom? Do you have any specific advice to how non-English writers can participate in the Public Goods ecosystem? How can the upcoming Ethereum upgrade facilitate greater adoption in developing and unbanked regions, such as Indonesia, where 66% of the population lacks access to banking services?Personal Insights
Why are you so interested in longevity? What will you do if you are immortal? What has surprised you the most in terms of how crypto has evolved and played out? Like if you were to tell yourself 5 years ago about how things are now, what would surprise you the most? How do you think the crypto world/industry will look like another 5 years from now? Could you share one piece of advice you would like to give to Taiwanese developers who are new to blockchain?Text Summary: LINK
