| 0:00.0 | Thank this nation. We got an exciting new episode for you today. It's not every day that |
| 0:09.9 | a brand new network comes into the Ethereum fold. The Zora network. Zora is getting its |
| 0:16.2 | own layer 2 built on the OP stack and today we have Jacob from Zora to guide us through |
| 0:21.8 | that conversation. Jacob is a very deep thinker about so many of the things that hold up |
| 0:28.0 | this ecosystem, the idea of on-chain communities, digital brands, minting ideas. And so not only |
| 0:34.7 | do we unpack all of this news about the Zora network, the new Zora layer 2, but we also just |
| 0:38.9 | unpack deeply what is Zora? Kazora is an NFT minting platform. There are many of these |
| 0:45.3 | around, but Zora really stands out differently from the others out there. And so these are |
| 0:50.0 | some of the conversations that we get into. But first, more specifically, a layer 2 primarily |
| 0:54.3 | focused on media and art. What does that unlock? Who is that for? How does this set Zora apart |
| 1:00.0 | from other NFT minting platforms? What is the Zora network good for? And then of course, how |
| 1:04.9 | and when does the inevitable Zora token fit in here? And of course, at the end, some bonus |
| 1:10.1 | goody conversations, the conversation around on hyphen chain or on chain, which one is right |
| 1:16.9 | and why does it matter? And also, Zora frequently uses the line, expand Ethereum. What does that |
| 1:23.6 | mean? So all these conversations are going to be unpacked in this episode with Jacob from Zora. |
| 1:27.7 | But first, if you have built or are building a smart contract protocol, and you need to make |
| 1:31.8 | sure that your code is secure, using most modern tools, check out Cypheryn. Cypheryn is a smart |
| 1:36.6 | contracting auditing firm that we've used at bankless to audit the smart contracts over at |
| 1:41.0 | bankless labs with our earnify product. So we ourselves have used the cypheryn product. Dawson |
| 1:45.7 | over at earnifies very happy with them. And not only that, but if you're also new to web 3, |
| 1:50.3 | and you want to learn more about smart contracts, they have 27 hours of video content to get you the |
| 1:56.6 | developer onboarded into the world of web 3 and solidity. These videos have over 5 million views. |
