From my perspective, like once you appreciate base sequencing and your base pill, there's no going back.

I don't know of a single person who has gone the other direction.

It's kind of up only, up to the right in terms of the converts.

Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance.

And today on Bankless, we explore the frontier of based roll-ups. Today on the show, we have Ethereum researcher Justin Drake to give us the reasoning why he thinks the future of Ethereum

is based. So what are based roll-ups? How do they

differ from normal roll-ups? Why the Ethereum layer 1 is the best sequencer for Ethereum's

layer-2 roll-ups? How does it fix Ethereum's fragmentation? And what does this all mean for Ether,

the asset? There's already a handful of teams publicly working on the based roll-ups future, Tycho,

puffer, spire, but also Justin alludes to at least a few of Ethereum's biggest roll-ups

already planning to go based in the not-so-distant future. So with his episode today, and perhaps

a few more soon, we are front-running all of that by getting you downloaded on based

roll-ups. So when

Ethereum inevitably does go based, you'll have already seen it coming. I think both David and I,

you'll find in this episode, are very bullish on the concept of based roll-ups because it really

solves a lot of the challenges that Ethereum is facing with its current roll-up-centric roadmap.

So this is the most comprehensive episode I think we've ever done on

based roll-ups. And Justin toward the end said that he thinks that based roll-ups have really reached

escape velocity. I know some people listening to that are like, what? They just came on the scene,

but realize a lot of work has been going on behind the scenes to sort of like propagate the idea

and design architecture for based roll-ups.

I think it's getting ready to take off.
