Ethereum Audible

"This was surprising to me. So much work, energy, and time has gone into creating a trustless distributed consensus mechanism, but virtually all clients that wish to access it do so by simply trusting the outputs from these two companies without any further verification."

Today we'll be continuing our exploration of why web3 matters with this take by Moxie, the founder of Signal. He took some time to play around with building on web3 and shared his well thought reflection.

The first part is reading his article, the second is a readthrough of Vitalik's rebuttal/thoughts followed by the 'Yosh's take'.

"But wherever this leads us next, it's clear to me now that I was too hasty to completely dismiss crypto on the basis of all the things wrong with it at the moment. Instead of appreciating the fundamental freedom to transact that it's currently our best shot at protecting.

Today we're reading to pieces: I was wrong, we need crypto by David Heinemeier Hansson and @punk6529's thread on the freedom to transact. Both pieces articulate really well the importance of decentralized, non custodial crypto.

"Thanks to L2s users will finally be able to enjoy low fees using their favorite web3 applications, a much better UX emerges as transaction confirmations are almost instant (thanks to L2 sequencers), and help scale blockchains massively."

In this episode we're going to be be reading through part 2 of this epic guide on L2s on Ethereum by DCBuilder. After completing this guide you'll have a good grip on all the different acronyms and projects in the L2 ecosystem of Ethereum and you'll know the difference between optimistic rollups, ZK rollups, and EVM compatible or non compatible rollups. Enjoy!

"In this article, I’ll talk about L2s on Ethereum, the state of the current scaling ecosystem, and why I believe running L2s on top of Ethereum is the most economically and technically sustainable scaling solution long term."

"In the future, it’s likely that the average person will not work for a company. Instead, people will earn income in non-traditional ways by taking actions such as playing games, learning new skills, creating art, or curating content. This kind of shift in how we work is not unusual or unexpected — the idea that most people would be employed by large corporations would have seemed crazy to someone in the year 1800."

Today we're diving into the world of DAOs and the future of work. How will it unfold? In this essay Ben Schecter lays out his vision for the future of work in a DAO enabled world, at the end I layout my anti case.

In this readthrough you'll learn:

- What DAOs are

- How DAOs are forming to create a future of work around different themes: contribute-to-earn, learn-to-earn & play-to-earn.

"Rollups are all the rage in the Ethereum community, and are poised to be the key scalability solution for Ethereum for the foreseeable future. But what exactly is this technology, what can you expect from it and how will you be able to use it? This post will attempt to answer some of those key questions."

We've been reading the Ethereum roadmap shift from sharding centric to rollup centric, this episode we'll be diving into what are L2s: channels, Plasma and Rollups.

The Ethereum 2.0 roadmap has undergone some massive shifts. Most recently in 2020 the roadmap shifted from being sharding centric to being rollup centric. What does that mean & What are rollups anyway? 

That's what we'll be discussing in this readthrough!
