Summary

The competition among DeFi networks is fierce, with Scroll currently holding the 23rd spot in the rankings. Meanwhile, the Ethereum validator queue has seen a significant reduction in wait times for staking and rewards, and an 'OG of Blockchains' has recently accomplished a nine-year-old project.

This episode is sponsored by the Algorand Foundation.
