Episode notes
Prove Every Chain To Solve Interop Friction
- Proving all chains (L1s and L2s) changes interoperability: reading state trustlessly reduces bridging friction.
- Boundless is already proving Base and Ethereum consensus as part of that effort.
Use Hybrid Proving And Incentives To Bootstrap
- Start rollups with hybrid or staged proving to manage economics and liveness before full execution proofs.
- Use incentives (like ZK mining) to subsidize proving while costs fall.
Faster Finality Unlocks Institutional Liquidity
- Faster cryptographic finality reduces solver duration risk and unlocks institutional liquidity across L2s.
- That will lower bridging fees and enable large allocators to move capital across rollups.
