Glitchwire is all about uncovering the glitches that are dramatically altering the way we understand the world and how we exist within it. On this show, we talk to the people who are discovering and even creating these glitches… We ask them: what is their glitch? And where do we go from here? In the tech world, in ‘disruption’ there is change. And in ‘glitch’, there is growth.

    The Unification Layer of Web3: Anurag Arjun, co-founder, Avail

    In this episode, Marissa Trew speaks with Anurag Arjun, the co-founder of Avail, described as the “unification layer of web3”. Anurag was arguably one of the pioneers of the L2 movement as co-founder and chief product officer of Polygon, the Ethereum layer 2. In this interview, Anurag shares his path into the crypto space, his thesis on L2s and rollup frameworks, and why he believes the industry must embrace modularity and interoperability to unlock its full potential. Anurag describes how Avail aims to bridge this gap as a "unification layer," and how modularity gives developers the flexibility to innovate within their niches. What will it take to foster greater user trust and long-term adoption? The difference between censorship resistant and credibly neutral infra. Why VMs are the foundations on which all innovation will sit. What it will take to engineer a web3 super app.– Educating developers on blockchain’s practical value to support innovation. The balance between maintaining open accessibility and building reliable, user-centered applications that serve diverse needs.... and much, much more.
