In today’s episode, we’re exploring the frontier of onchain universes, on Ethereum.
Autonomous Worlds is the new frontier of digital onchain universes, being pioneered by the Lattice team, of which Justin Glibert on the show today is the co-founder and CEO.
Ethereum is not just a financial computer, but a root of state for an infinite number of universes, all with their own laws of physics, objects, players, agents, and state… and, like our universe, still continues with, or without, our presence.
Justin walks us through the evolution of Autonomous Worlds. Get ready because you're going to get a taste of where the Internet has always been pointing towards… it just took us a while to get here.

Bankless listener, if you want to survive this decade as an investor, as a market participant or even just as a citizen, you have to tune in to this episode with author and investor, Lyn Alden.

We’re entering a new era. “Nothing Stops this Train” as Lyn would say. We’ve entered the Era of Fiscal Dominance.

- What era is this?
- Who will be the winners and losers? 
- What about capital controls?
- How can you prepare? 
- How will Crypto perform?

We get into all this and much more in what is a must-listen Fiscal Dominance Masterclass.

Today we explore David's idea that this cycle is cooked and Ryan has some question starting with... what does that even mean?
On this week's episode of Bankless Takes we answer that question and so much more as we take a deep dive into token distributions and how they're playing out this time around.

What’s the Endgame for Bitcoin Scaling? That’s what we asked bitcoin builder and researcher Eric Wall.

We start by exploring the evolution of Bitcoin and the genesis of scaling solutions on top of it. We then get into the intricacies of the BitVM, what exactly is a Bitcoin L2 and what’s coming next.

Eric is the perfect guest to explore this frontier of Bitcoin Rollups, he tells it like it is and he understands both Ethereum and Bitcoin.
