Sometimes, the frontier is at a crypto conference. One of the most prestige being, ETHDenver! We’re back with a handful of exclusive interviews with some of the most fascinating minds in crypto. 

Wish you could make it to all the crypto conferences, but don't have the time? Don't worry, Bankless brings the frontier to you.

In this episode, we’re talking to Fig from Squid, a crosschain swap protocol built on top of Axelar. Is Squid finally the interoperability solution we’ve all been waiting for? Tune in to find out!

We think 2022 is going to be a huge year for Layer 2 scaling solutions. Cross-Chain protocols will be a crucial infrastructure for the great migration to L2s, allowing users to bridge assets across platforms.

Composability and user experience is the glue of modular blockchains, which optimize for decentralization, scaling, and cost. The projects and representatives each present cryptographic solutions for building a web of liquidity across the many suburbs of DeFi, where average users will live and engage.
