    "Liquidity Fragmentation Isn't a Technical Problem, It's an Economic One" - Josh Bowen of Astria

    Most rollups today aren’t sovereign. They rely on a single sequencer, creating a major centralization risk. Josh Bowen, CEO of Astria Labs breaks down how shared sequencing fixes this—eliminating blockchain silos and making rollups more secure and interoperable. Without shared infrastructure, modular blockchains just become fragmented networks. We explore the trade-offs in existing rollup solutions, why DA layers aren’t enough, and how Astria is reshaping the rollup landscape by removing single points of failure. This is how rollups can stay independent while still working together. The future of Ethereum scaling is here.

    Build A Chain In Any Language with Melanie Mohr of PWR Labs

    Melanie Mohr, Co-founder of PWR Labs, joins to talk about building a new kind of blockchain infrastructure—one that finally bridges Web2 and Web3. PWR Chain separates consensus from execution, enabling developers to build their own chains—called VIDAs—in any language: JavaScript, Python, C++, Rust, Move, Solidity. No VM restrictions, no validators required, and no gas tokens needed. We dive into: – How PWR Chain rethinks the Layer 1 / Layer 2 stack – Why most blockchains failed to attract developers – How DPoP (Delegated Proof of Power) secures the base layer – What makes VIDAs different from L2s and appchains – The potential for massive corporate adoption PWR Chain isn’t just another L1. It’s a new model for scaling decentralized applications—built to handle the next 10 million developers.
