We’re exploring the frontier of crypto gaming!

The seeds of the crypto gaming thesis are looking to play out. Today we’re hosting Robbie Ferguson from Immutable and Marco van den Heuvel from Merit Circle.

Merit Circle is migrating from Avalanche to Immutable, bringing along their gaming ecosystem, DAO, and sizable treasury.

Solana on Ethereum? Solana has a virtual machine called the SVM. Proponents say it’s much better than the Ethereum EVM…multi-threaded execution…now it’s coming to Ethereum in the form of an L2. 

Today on the show, we brought on CEO & Co-Founder of Eclipse, Neel Somani. Eclipse is not only a new L2 on the scene, it’s also an L2 framework, kind of like the OP Stack. It’s a superchain contender. 

This poses some very interesting questions….who wins? Does this kill Solana?

Sometimes, the frontier is at a crypto conference. We’re returning from our adventures in Tel Aviv with nine exclusive interviews with some of the key players in the StarkNet space. 

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.

Herodotus is a system for data interoperability across chains. The future is composable, and tools like Herodotus help move us in that direction.

Hey Bankless Nation

Here's some weekend content for you!

Every now and then, Anthony Sassano and David hop into a live stream and chat about things. We thought the conversation was especially useful this week, so we're putting it on the podcast feed.
