Today we have a bankless take talking about David's recent article, The Unified Architecture

0:08.9

or Ethereum. Where does Ethereum fit in the world of many chains?

0:13.0

We got Bitcoin over there, we got Solana, we got Celestial,

0:15.5

we've got other layer twos.

0:17.2

What is the theorem's future there?

0:18.8

Also, what functional escape velocity means

0:22.3

and why it's important and finally

0:24.0

David's conclusion eventually everything becomes a branch on

0:28.6

ethereal's tree that's what he says in the article it's safe to say today's

0:32.3

episode I think David it's going to be a bullish Ethereum episode

0:36.4

But I would say at least from the tone and tenor of the article it also acknowledges the design choices of other chains and the spaces that they have carved out and will continue to occupy.

I don't know, would you say this is an Ethamaxi episode, David?

1:18.4

where chains kind of fit in relation to others.

1:21.1

I'll talk about like why I wrote this article and what listeners I think can get out of it in a second but first a message from our friends and sponsors over at safe. This is a message for all the devs out there. Safe is of course formerly known as Noza Safe securing billions and billions

to the world of smart accounts, making embedding wallets super easy to integrate into your
