1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,560
The biggest thesis back then and
even now is that Web 3 isn't 

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,320
secure enough. 
Facebook wanted to build a 

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,600
stable coin to power Facebook 
itself. 

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,720
That was the DM leader project. 
They looked at the EVM, looked 

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,800
at the SVM and decided that it 
wasn't good enough. 

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,280
So the language itself it's a 
lot easier to write code. 

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,920
There's actually some diagram 
that shows like to write account

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,440
checks for a full module. 
It takes SVM like 2 pages. 

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,400
It takes EVM like 5 pages. 
It takes like the movie on like 

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,760
10 lines. 
If we ever have more than like 

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,520
1000 users on chain, the EDM 
chain simply can't handle load 

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,240
because you're waiting for one 
thread, what parallelization 

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,120
enables use at multiple threads.
So if you have 10 transactions, 

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,560
instead of waiting for E to B to
C to D, you can do a transaction

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,160
transaction B. 
Transaction C transact D all the

16
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:47,720
same time because you have 
multiple threads within the VM. 

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,920

00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,480
Welcome to Epicenter of the 
show, which talks about the 

49
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,200
technologies, projects, and 
people driving decentralization 

50
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,720
in the blockchain revolution. 
I'm Sebastian Quitio and I'm 

51
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,720
here with my Co host Felipe 
Ernst. 

52
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,960
Today we're talking to Rushi 
Mancha. 

53
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,640
He's the Co founder. 
At Movement Labs. 

54
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,080
There are a network of move 
based modular block chains. 

55
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,560
Before we talk to Rushi, just 
want to disclose that Movement 

56
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,200
Labs is a portfolio company of 
Interop Ventures. 

57
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:25,320
But with that out of the way, 
hey Rushi, thanks for joining 

58
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,360
us. 
How's it going guys? 

59
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,080
Pleasure to be on here. 
Yeah. 

60
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,520
So we were just talking before 
the show about like East Denver 

61
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,200
and I think this is the first 
episode to come out after the 

62
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,160
conference, maybe the 2nd. 
But yeah, you you, we were both 

63
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,600
there wearing the movement 
sweatshirt, which is very comfy.

64
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,440
Yeah. 
What were your impressions about

65
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,040
E Denver and, you know, compared
to last year? 

66
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,720
Like how do you think the space 
has evolved? 

67
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,120
I mean the short answer is we're
back. 

68
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,640
Last year it was like kind of 
dreary cause like post FTX, it 

69
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,360
was like 3 months after FTX and 
all the debacles and everyone 

70
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,560
was like pretty damn bad. 
If you were there, you were like

71
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,200
in it for the like actual long, 
long term. 

72
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,400
There weren't that many side 
events, weren't that many 

73
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,560
parties, weren't that many like 
fun things, which is a blessing 

74
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,560
and a curse. 
I think last year we saw a lot 

75
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,040
more like builders coming to the
market and actually presenting 

76
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:21,760
some of the cool novel ideas, 
and there's more signal than 

77
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,760
noise. 
And then at Denver there's a lot

78
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,640
of signal, but even more so 
noise, especially with care if 

79
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,760
the lot rises with crypto and AI
narrative. 

80
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,000
But seeing a lot of those decks 
flowing around, honestly have 

81
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,800
had a difficult try to filter 
out what's real and what's not 

82
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,800
real. 
But more importantly, I think 

83
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,320
it's like great to see the 
public, like obviously the 

84
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,160
market's back. 
Bitcoin's all time high, price 

85
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,680
action is doing well, private 
markets are going crazy. 

86
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:46,680
So the excitement's back. 
I think that was really great to

87
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,400
see. 
But I think it's important to 

88
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,800
know like you have to be kind of
wary because I think we're 

89
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,120
heading way too fast an upwards 
direction, like even before 

90
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,560
having bitcoin's all time high, 
which creates a lot of like 

91
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,520
macroeconomic questions for how 
long this bull can last as a 

92
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,600
supercycle, whatnot. 
So as like a builder, it's very 

93
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,200
important to like a focus on 
distribution, keep like 

94
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,320
capitalizing the market, but 
also remaining like conscious 

95
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,240
that it's probably not going to 
be a long term thing and maybe 

96
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,840
so economics is like suggesting 
it's a short term thing. 

97
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,720
So that kind of adjusts 
timelines. 

98
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,520
I think a lot of different 
infrastructure companies are 

99
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,680
paying attention to the markets 
in terms of timelines for 

100
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,680
product launches and whatnot. 
So that's one side of the story.

101
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,120
I think some key to finding 
narratives, you had AI, crypto, 

102
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,040
AI obviously like intersection 
as a core narrative. 

103
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,880
Obviously NVIDIA is getting 
crazy right now which trickles 

104
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,200
out as their private markets and
the like. 

105
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,440
Modularity was still retaining 
from last year, I think 2023 we 

106
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,040
still have ADA focused 
modularity. 

107
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,080
So you had like Celestia, Eigen 
avail And then this year we put 

108
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,040
out like modular day as kind of 
the flagship event and really 

109
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,840
focus on the VM level 
experimentation. 

110
00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:58,120
So I moved VMSVM was in VM and a
few different groups. 

111
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,760
I really come to market and 
explain why alternative CVM 

112
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,480
important. 
Let it be sticking out. 

113
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,000
This is a big narrative that I 
used to push on, looking forward

114
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,440
to launch. 
Yeah, I I felt like East Denver 

115
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,240
this year could have been just 
like modular week. 

116
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,880
It felt like every event had a 
modular twist to it or was 

117
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,440
either like about modular or had
like people giving panels about 

118
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,720
about the modular thesis and the
modular stack and like avail had

119
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,240
an event. 
So I see an event you guys had 

120
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,280
an event and and tons of other 
sort of like more theorem 

121
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:36,120
aligned teams were were doing 
events on on modular like how? 

122
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,160
How? 
Important do you think modular 

123
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,600
is to to the current cycle and 
in terms of narratives you know 

124
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,720
like what amount of developer 
mind share do you think it's 

125
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,920
actually capturing versus what 
the markets are saying like 

126
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,320
what, how, how markets are 
perceiving it? 

127
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,120
I think modular is now used to 
look good in market term. 

128
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,480
It's like modular alignment 
where you want to structure a 

129
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,000
company to be in trouble with 
other networking systems, which 

130
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,680
I think is a good thing. 
Like if you look at traditional 

131
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,920
tech or even traditional like 
hardware, the the the companies 

132
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,080
that won where the companies are
able to build parts and hardware

133
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,560
that's in trouble with other E 
systems that wasn't tied into 

134
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,680
one vendor lock in. 
I think that's what we're seeing

135
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,400
in the Web 3 where if you're 
building AI Oracles, rebuilding 

136
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,760
infrastructure, you wanted to be
able to tie to different 

137
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,680
different chain, go across chain
or multi chain and interoperate 

138
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,320
because you have a bigger client
base, have bigger marketing 

139
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,360
exposure. 
So I think modular now is a 

140
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,920
marketing term where if your 
infrastructure, if your app, you

141
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,360
want to be modular so you can 
align with different systems. 

142
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,800
Whereas if it's actually a 
modular that's yet to be 

143
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,400
determined, probably not. 
Honestly modular in this case 

144
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,480
probably refers to using all DA 
using experiential different 

145
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,040
like BM levels. 
But I've seen like modular be 

146
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,160
used for like RPCS be used for 
like even like APIs. 

147
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,760
So I think Modular is like a 
bigger landscape which gives 

148
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,520
credit Celestia. 
They've turned their narrative 

149
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,760
into like a meta and it allows 
if like a bunch of different 

150
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,080
companies to align under like 1 
unified umbrella. 

151
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,120
And we'll get into the entire 
modular stack in just a bit 

152
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,600
Rushi. 
But it is your first time on 

153
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,680
Epicenter, so maybe tell us a 
little bit about yourself and 

154
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,000
your background and how you got 
into this and what what made you

155
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,240
start Movement Labs? 
Yes. 

156
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,480
So my background's engineering 
started cutting. 

157
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,200
I was 14. 
I was always interested in 

158
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,799
distributed systems technology 
and whatnot, Started software 

159
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:40,240
engineering. 
I worked at the United Health 

160
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,280
group LED on Prem databases and 
cloud immigration for a team 

161
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,320
over there. 
Got into that pretty early on. 

162
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,720
Then somewhere across crypto was
really interested in all program

163
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,720
languages, especially Ross based
program languages. 

164
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,200
So Kazuwaza and Ross was really 
exciting to me from there Me and

165
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,840
my Co founder group we're both 
at Vanderbilt University which 

166
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,680
is a university in the South of 
the United States. 

167
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,280
He was a few years older than me
but I was playing one of the 

168
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,960
first dex in app does he both 
satay the first yield dragger in

169
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,000
app does. 
So we were early move builders, 

170
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,520
this was August of 2022, so pre 
FTX back when like things were 

171
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,840
better in that cycle. 
And then we wanted to bring 

172
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,960
things like we love moving, 
which I think I stumbled across 

173
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,480
it because I like, I read like a
New York Times article or some 

174
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,560
like block article where I was 
like Facebook's doing this 

175
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,000
blockchain programming language 
and their new blockchain 

176
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,280
initiative. 
And it got me excited because I 

177
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,400
was always interested in 
blockchains, but I was always 

178
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,880
concerned of security and it 
would ever scale to mainstream 

179
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,800
consumers. 
And Facebook is the biggest 

180
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,960
consumer app for the planet, and
they took a bet on programming 

181
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,200
and started Move language. 
So I built the first deck, 

182
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,760
Synaptos, that ultimately led to
movement because we wanted to 

183
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,080
bring the moving beyond to 
Aetherium. 

184
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,360
I get more to the move side, but
that's kind of how I got here. 

185
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:02,360
Yeah, super cool. 
Yeah, let's get into the Move 

186
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,560
side. 
So basically Move is a language 

187
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:10,760
as you said, created by Facebook
to to be more dev friendly, more

188
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:17,640
more secure than Solidity and 
the likes of Solidity like Viper

189
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:23,200
it's been used for for Libra and
DM obviously, but kind of SUI 

190
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,960
and up to us are the main chains
that kind of build on it today 

191
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:32,360
to tell us what kind of sets 
Move apart from their solidity. 

192
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,440
Yes, I think going back to the 
root, Facebook wanted to build a

193
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,720
stable coin to power Facebook 
itself. 

194
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,840
That was the DM leader project. 
They looked at the EVM, looked 

195
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,920
at the SVM and decided that it 
wasn't good enough. 

196
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,840
They needed their own 
infrastructure and needed VM and

197
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,680
language that could scale for 
billions of users as well as 

198
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:52,640
provide security front chain. 
The biggest thesis back then and

199
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,280
even now is that Web 3 isn't 
secure enough. 

200
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,800
If I ever want my mom or anyone 
in my family to use crypto, the 

201
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,720
biggest thing they're saying is 
isn't going to get hacked, isn't

202
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,560
going to be rugs, and they're 
like a lot of scams going on and

203
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:06,280
Moo was kind of built to combat 
that from the smart contract 

204
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,560
level. 
So it stops like 9095% of tax 

205
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:11,320
factors we're seeing today in 
the EVM as well as provides 

206
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,720
obviously for some of the tax 
we're seeing SVM as well, it's 

207
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,240
like some so that's kind of the 
root and origin cost. 

208
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,520
And then we kind of bring into 
like why move. 

209
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,600
The thesis is a was built by the
biggest consumer app bringing a 

210
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,480
new web to developers over the 
next two or three years. 

211
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,360
You'll see suite and app does 
use their big treasuries to 

212
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,840
attract consumer apps and 
consumer builders to bring net 

213
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,160
new developers to each system. 
As our language itself is 

214
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,560
designed to be a blockchain 
first language the knowledge I 

215
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:41,640
could say is like Move is to 
rust as reactors JavaScript. 

216
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,760
If you follow Javascript's 
history web two it came to 

217
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,800
market no one really liked 
writing JavaScript and then 

218
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,000
React came to market made 
website generation much easier 

219
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,800
like you can design custom 
components. 

220
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,040
You're like object oriented. 
Same thing with move it's people

221
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,960
don't really like Wagon Rust 
they like the framework's the 

222
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:02,600
top of it. 
So move the move and the move VM

223
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,440
is a framework. 
You can think of it on top of 

224
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,120
Rust where you can design 
modules that are very custom. 

225
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,440
You can have on chain events 
radio track protection, so the 

226
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,080
language itself, it's a lot 
easier to write code. 

227
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,720
There's actually some diagram 
that shows like to write account

228
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,240
checks for a full module. 
It takes like SVM like 2 pages, 

229
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,400
it takes EVM like 5 pages, it 
takes like the movie on like 10 

230
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,320
lines as well as you have 
embedded on chain protection. 

231
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,240
So you have the move prover at 
the VM level, which stops risky,

232
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,280
stops injure, overflows, it 
stops all the attackers we're 

233
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,600
seeing today in crypto. 
So it's the most important 

234
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,040
innovation, security while also 
being paralyzed. 

235
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,680
So it touches in the paralyzed 
narrative block. 

236
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:43,160
STM was actually built by app 
Das Labs, as pioneered by Monad 

237
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,480
and a few other groups. 
So think of like the best, the 

238
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,880
fastest VM and your favorite 
auditor combined into one VM at 

239
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,560
one time. 
The EVM and Solidity in 

240
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:57,040
particular. 
I mean they are pretty low level

241
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,720
and they let you do a lot of 
things that other programming 

242
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,320
languages like move don't let 
you do. 

243
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,000
So for instance, things like 
inline assembly or something 

244
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
like move would never let you do
this, right? 

245
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:14,960
But the reason why it was 
devised this way was to give 

246
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:20,480
developers more freedom and kind
of optimizing for things like 

247
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:25,440
gas cost, right. 
So with kind of this more 

248
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:31,000
prescriptive language that move 
is you are also somewhat tied 

249
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,720
down in, in you know in in terms
of what you can actually do 

250
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,800
especially in kind of a 
distributed system such as kind 

251
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,560
of a blockchain ecosystem. 
Does this concern you that you 

252
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:48,480
can kind of optimize for things 
as well as you could in the more

253
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,080
permissive languages? 
I think going back to web to 

254
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,200
example, like you don't have the
flexibility with Reactor via or 

255
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,440
Angular. 
It's simply the best framework 

256
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,920
to build and design websites. 
If you really want 

257
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,520
customizations, you can go at 
like C++ level. 

258
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,960
You can like Cherry your own 
kind of Ruby on Rails frameworks

259
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,200
that's more designed for 
specific like mega use cases. 

260
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:12,680
I think there's two sets of 
argument here. 

261
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:15,080
A move increases the velocity of
production. 

262
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,600
So let's say for example I'm a 
24 year old kid, I will want I 

263
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,560
want to launch my own DFA app in
two weeks. 

264
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,920
Move is the best way to do that 
because you can get to mark 

265
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,360
quickly, you can write code 
quickly, you don't have to worry

266
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,640
about account checks, you don't 
have to worry about keep 

267
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,720
debugging. 
So it's the easiest way to 

268
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,360
Sprint on product development if
you do want low level 

269
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,560
customizations. 
The movie system's actually 

270
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,240
working on a lot in line 
assembly and integrating 

271
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,960
assembly directly into the Move 
language. 

272
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,360
Obviously it's a nascent 
language. 

273
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,400
It was launched like a year ago.
So there's a lot of fixes and 

274
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,080
optimizations are happening. 
But over the next three or four 

275
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,880
years, I'd imagine that Move 
also adopts a similar low level 

276
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,040
support. 
I think the address team is 

277
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,000
working this as well as we're 
looking into as well. 

278
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,040
We actually look at it at the 
Bico level. 

279
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,640
So you can actually directly 
write you'll which is like a 

280
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,960
assembly language directly to 
our VM. 

281
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,160
That's part of our text That 
kind of differentiates it from a

282
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,960
person sui. 
We've made it fully even 

283
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,840
compatible. 
So you can take the silly code, 

284
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,720
do the 145 AP codes and map it 
to the 54 move AP codes and 

285
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,640
launch the VM. 
Between that process, it's we 

286
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,640
have a abstract syntax tree 
which enables runtime and SDK to

287
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,840
understand Yule byte code. 
But also if you are a very 

288
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,080
talented developer and you want 
to customizations as a smart 

289
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,600
contract level and you want to 
use assembly, you can write Yule

290
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,360
directly to the interpreter. 
No, that's super interesting. 

291
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,360
I had no idea that was 
happening. 

292
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:41,160
How do you feel about the 
mindshare advantage for the EVM?

293
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,320
Obviously the EVM has been 
around a lot longer and there's 

294
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,840
tooling and people know it and 
there's tutorials and so on. 

295
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,200
Do you think this can be 
overcome by kind of like the the

296
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,440
sort of treasuries that Facebook
and up to us and Sui and so on 

297
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,600
put into it? 
I think it's our it's our PvP. 

298
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,920
They both exist. 
If you want to use Lido today, 

299
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,920
EVM is the best place to use it 
and will be the best place to 

300
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,400
use it for the next five years. 
But the thing with the stance is

301
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,520
the EVM however approaches 
legacy code. 

302
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,600
It is code that works really 
well for past use cases when we 

303
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,440
have 1000 years on chain. 
MOV is designed for billions of 

304
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,000
users on chain. 
It was designed for Facebook to 

305
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,160
be on chain, which is why you 
have parallelization but also 

306
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,080
you have Security benefits. 
So it's actually complementary 

307
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,040
such that that you have the EDF 
legacy code and legacy software 

308
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,040
for early kind of web 
applications. 

309
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,960
You can think about Bitcoin 
script still supports, people 

310
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,680
still use it for various use 
cases. 

311
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,640
But if you ever want to do on 
chain consumer, on chain social,

312
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,480
any actual use case that 
requires high throughput 

313
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,120
applications as well security, 
you need to use a framework like

314
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,200
Move. 
How Move approaches is we 

315
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,000
recognize the shortcomings of of
Move itself in terms of a new 

316
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,760
language as well as the network 
effects of EVM and we combine it

317
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,000
so we have a MEVM where you have
Moves support as well as EVM 

318
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,520
support. 
So if you're looking to deploy, 

319
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,160
I don't want to chain or like 
Avi on chain or you just swap on

320
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,960
chain. 
Today you can use the EVM 

321
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,400
runtime interpreter. 
If you want to build the next 

322
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:09,280
biggest consumer app, you can 
use the Move STK as well. 

323
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,319
I think that's the best way to 
approach next Gen. 

324
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:14,119
VMS which is I think a lot of 
different groups messed up on a 

325
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,040
lot of layer ones in next Gen. 
VMS were like this is our 

326
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,079
program where it's just our 
framework, it's the best thing. 

327
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:21,280
If you don't use it, you can 
screw off and then they lost a 

328
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,839
lot of developers. 
It was difficult to track 

329
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:25,560
liquidity for us. 
We are acknowledging that EVM 

330
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,480
still has a liquidity we want to
fully support and actually be as

331
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,680
ethereal as possible while 
supporting moving the long term 

332
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,040
and supporting proliferating its
growth. 

333
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,040
You talked about parallelization
a couple of times there. 

334
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,360
Can you kind of go into what 
that means? 

335
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,120
So in traditional EVM or any 
other stack, you have sequential

336
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:49,480
processing, which means you have
if you have tentative 

337
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,840
transaction, it's a transaction 
A to B to C to D So within a 

338
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,600
given VM, you're waiting for a 
transaction to finish for one 

339
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,640
single thread. 
Typically in today's crypto 

340
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,520
environment, sometimes it's not 
a big deal. 

341
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:05,000
If you're using Lido like you'll
have $5 gas fees or whatnot, 

342
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,320
which for some of you just for 
like big whales, it's fine. 

343
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,360
If you have $1,000,000 on chain 
you pay $5 gas fees, they don't 

344
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:13,880
really care. 
But what parallelization enables

345
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,400
use at multiple threads. 
So if you have 10 transactions, 

346
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,840
instead of waiting for E to B to
C to D, you can do a transaction

347
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,160
transaction B transaction C 
transact D all the same time 

348
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,640
because you have multiple 
threads within the VM there was 

349
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,960
first started with like the 
block STM process which app has 

350
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,240
pioneer which is a new form of 
parallel processing that enables

351
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,640
high throughput parallelized 
threads. 

352
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,600
Y is really important is for two
reasons, a you on low gas fees. 

353
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,960
So if you look at near, if you 
look at Swiss say they had an 

354
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,600
extra nothing gas fees which is 
from parallelization. 

355
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,160
While it took the EVM, you still
have a theory in which it's like

356
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,840
$50 gas fees. 
Even layer twos today are pretty

357
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,880
expensive and they require layer
threes to scale. 

358
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,400
My thesis is a layer threes 
don't make sense if you have a 

359
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,320
paralyzed layer 2 because you 
can have multiple threads that 

360
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,640
can handle and manage date. 
The second thing is on if you 

361
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,360
look at descriptions of the best
use case of parallelization, 

362
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,040
every EVM chain went down like 
to get like seeking saying 

363
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,960
arbitrary went down 120 GPS. 
If the if the chain didn't go 

364
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,400
down like avalanche, it was at 
like $50 gas fees. 

365
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,720
Which means that if if we ever 
have more than like 1000 users 

366
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,840
on chain, the EDM chain simply 
can't handle load because you're

367
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,880
waiting for one thread. 
Think about logically right? 

368
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,240
If you have a high impact event 
like inscriptions or game going 

369
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,520
crazy on one thread and you just
swap on the same thread, it's 

370
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,520
going to cause the gas piece for
you to swap to go up. 

371
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,160
Or if there's a world where you 
can multiple threads and you 

372
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,040
have gas fees, go crazy on one 
thread rather than effect you 

373
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,000
just swap. 
Doesn't affect DYDX, doesn't 

374
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,120
affect GMX other threads, so you
can actually have modularity 

375
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:47,680
within the threads itself 
instead of requiring constant 

376
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,720
infrastructure upgrades that 
make no sense at scale. 

377
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,960
So Long story short, 
parallelization enables 

378
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,400
concurrent transaction 
processing which allows flow gas

379
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,320
fees as well as allows for a 
management of state during times

380
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,560
of high network activity. 
There's a lot to unpack here. 

381
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,720
So I think some of these things 
in the Ethereum ecosystem are 

382
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,440
being tackled by intense space 
transactions, right? 

383
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,880
What's your take on those? 
I think Intense based tries 

384
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,240
actions pretty early on. 
I know Shogun's trying to do 

385
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,240
something for like the moding 
system and the one inches also 

386
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,840
trying to push towards that. 
The general thesis was that it's

387
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,400
like very early stages yet to be
proven because there's a lot of 

388
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,080
interoperability problems. 
If you try to get intense 

389
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,280
between like AEVM chain on one 
like layer two and another layer

390
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,400
two like across is probably the 
biggest one here. 

391
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,960
It's very difficult to do like 
bridging standards and there's a

392
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,360
lot of secure assumptions 
they're making. 

393
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,840
But I would say I guess in the 
EBM world intense is another way

394
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,480
to tackle that. 
But still the fees are generally

395
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,960
a high and there's still like 
just cause like just cause 

396
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,280
across has intense built to the 
bridging doesn't mean it can 

397
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,600
handle high load. 
If that was the case, like 

398
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,160
inscriptions would not take 
another chance. 

399
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,760
And so basically when you talk 
about parallelization, I mean 

400
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,640
basically we used to have this 
this idea any here with that I 

401
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,840
very much hope is going to 
return at some point with with 

402
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,360
kind of like smart shards where 
basically you have where you 

403
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:17,200
have individual execution 
environments with local states 

404
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,760
that kind of can interact async 
with one another. 

405
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,960
When you have stacks that 
natively do parallelization, how

406
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,600
do you handle the state? 
How do you make sure that you 

407
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,000
kind of have one Ledger? 
How do you deal with security? 

408
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,400
Well, the thing was that's one 
of the benefits of using 

409
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,960
Ethereum's layer too. 
As you inherit the network 

410
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,960
security and the valor set and 
the kind of decentralization, 

411
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,400
that theorem is already built 
and you put the move VM on top 

412
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,000
of that. 
I bring parallelization to 

413
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,840
Ethereum, which is why I think 
it's very like the vision for 

414
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,240
Ethereum is actually to bring 
parallelization to the VM level 

415
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,920
because you can inherit the 
security, manage state bloat 

416
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,880
through the settlement dealers. 
While you have VMS that can 

417
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,880
provide performance 
parallelization, you have like 

418
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,440
parallelize Evms. 
Coming now to Ethereum, you have

419
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,520
SVMS Move VMS. 
This is definitely the rise of 

420
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,280
these virtual machines, but 
they're all saying that the AIM 

421
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,360
is still the best place to 
manage state and store data. 

422
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:19,600
I'll hand off to to Seb here. 
Sorry for the for the intense 

423
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,880
inter interrogation here from 
the EVM camp. 

424
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,600
No, these are, these are all 
great questions. 

425
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,000
I I love it. 
I was just watching and and 

426
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,640
really enjoying that whole 
exchange. 

427
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,360
I mean, you know, to kind of 
bounce back on what you were 

428
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:35,480
saying Rishi, you know, in terms
of you know, the EVM being 

429
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,600
legacy code. 
I sometimes equate DVM and I 

430
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,360
know this, this analogy doesn't 
overlap exactly but look at the 

431
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:44,920
EVM and salinity a little bit as
I do. 

432
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,320
You know, PHPPHP has been around
for over 20 years. 

433
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,680
It it is still powering 
something like 60 to 70% of 

434
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,240
websites on the Internet, you 
know, most of which are 

435
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,200
WordPress websites and Facebook.
However, you know ask a college 

436
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,000
kid today or like a young 
engineer what language he's 

437
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,600
building with, like he's 
probably using, you know like 

438
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,920
Node JS and React and all these 
sort of new Web 2 frameworks and

439
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,080
and not PHP. 
So I, I sort of look at the EVM 

440
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,080
and Solidity in the same from 
the same perspective where I 

441
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,960
think the EVM will continue to 
power very important 

442
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,960
applications and D5 will 
continue to power these, you 

443
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,600
know, sort of legacy 
applications that are going to 

444
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,200
be you know, very, very 
important to Ethereum and sort 

445
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,880
of crypto infrastructure moving 
forward. 

446
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:38,440
But you know as the space moves 
towards a more modular ecosystem

447
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:45,720
stack new VMS that are better 
suited for, for that, for that 

448
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,960
infrastructure will probably 
prevail in those ecosystems. 

449
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,480
Is that a good way to look at 
it? 

450
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,800
Or is that analogies missing? 
Missing some parts, no. 

451
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,280
I think that makes perfect 
sense. 

452
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,720
Like a guy could touched on like
the EVM has done a great job of 

453
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,760
boot shopping the initial crypto
user base and use cases for D5 

454
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,120
but there still is a lot of 
challenges. 

455
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:10,320
So that's why these all BMS are 
coming out of our performance, 

456
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,200
security and a bunch of the 
different trade-offs to kind of 

457
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,080
scale existing Ethereum use 
cases. 

458
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,400
But like Liquid with with web 
two is kind of different where 

459
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,640
you have, if you have a novel 
new tech stack, if you have a 

460
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,200
cool new website and you can 
essentially vampire attack to 

461
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,000
use this thing like user base 
and bring it over pretty quickly

462
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,560
probably within a two to three 
month test span. 

463
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,040
That's not really possible in 
crypto because you have 

464
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,160
financial incentives. 
So if you have like building 

465
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,280
locked up on one of each system,
it's very difficult to migrate 

466
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,840
and essentially take all the 
liquidity over to a new nasty 

467
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,040
system which is why it's it's 
more of like a long term horizon

468
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,320
where you'll see liquidity 
slowly move to Exelana which is 

469
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,680
why Exelana has been kind of 
crushing in, it's been steadily 

470
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,840
growing TBLS was app since we. 
So we're slowly seeing that 

471
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,320
liquidity and users can move 
over to the next 10 VMS but it's

472
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,400
still going to be like a 10 year
process probably before the EDM 

473
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:00,760
is at least completely 
challenged. 

474
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,960
So in the current state of 
execution environments is you 

475
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,160
acknowledge the EVM, acknowledge
the liquidity benefits it has 

476
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,680
while try to try to create 
different use cases for these 

477
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,920
alt VMS, make sure those use 
cases actually reach fruition 

478
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,520
and then slowly work on 
acquiring the even liquidity. 

479
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,040
Once you prove that. 
I think the two main contenders 

480
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,800
are this SVM and then move VMA 
which have a huge eastern 

481
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,720
backing of from pre-existing 
level ones and B how specific 

482
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,360
teams are carrying out on the 
alt VM2 VM each system. 

483
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,560
So maybe just like playing 
devil's advocate here, like what

484
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,800
do you make of the fact that you
know Barrett Chain is launching 

485
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:43,120
an EVM chain, you know, say also
is I, I think now dropping Kazum

486
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:49,840
wazum to to favor a paralyzed 
EVM in in order to, you know 

487
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,760
attract more developers. 
I think they've found it 

488
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,040
difficult to attract Cosm Wazum 
developers. 

489
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:59,040
You know, if this is all true 
and if like move and and and so 

490
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,600
lot of VM are better suited to 
this kind of new era of 

491
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,440
blotching applications, why are 
you know these very large like 

492
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,520
especially Barry Chain right? 
There's like large ecosystem 

493
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,720
play putting the EVM first. 
I'll take you to the same. 

494
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,480
Point of view where the 
paralyzed EVM, I would contend 

495
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,720
is not the same as the EVM. 
It's completely redesigned 

496
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,840
virtual machine, It just even 
compatible. 

497
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,280
You can argue that our MEVM is a
paralyzed EVM even though it's a

498
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,480
completely different virtual 
machine. 

499
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,960
So I think the paralyzed EVM is 
I would consider also the next 

500
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,800
Gen. 
VM because it's a complete 

501
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,560
redesigned virtual machine. 
This has EVM compatibility from 

502
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,680
the start. 
There are security issues with 

503
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,000
Solidity but say isn't really 
prioritizing that because their 

504
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,760
go to market is being a trading 
first chain being a high 

505
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,840
throughput chain so they don't 
really care for optimizing for 

506
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,400
smart country security. 
So the the simple answer to say 

507
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,080
example, the modern example is 
those are completely different 

508
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:56,040
EVMS or VMSI would not say their
current EVM, they're actually 

509
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,360
like the Monet EBM. 
I want to say EBM which is 

510
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:01,080
completely different. 
So still ties in the next Gen. 

511
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,320
thesis. 
And then As for Bearish, I would

512
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,520
say that's like the main value 
prop. 

513
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,360
There is a community they've 
done a great job assembling, 

514
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,880
maybe the most valuable 
community crypted today. 

515
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,080
And a lot of their activity is 
based on this proof of liquidity

516
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,520
consensus where it's actually 
doesn't make sense to use a next

517
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,560
Gen. 
VM because they don't really 

518
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,640
care about speed, they don't 
really care about security as 

519
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,040
much. 
They're more focused on using 

520
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,160
governance and using the liquid 
staking every staking narrative.

521
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,280
But I know for example like 
talking to the teams and 

522
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,280
different teams are throughput 
is a concern for them because 

523
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,480
even like mempool went down 
recently, it probably won't be 

524
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,680
able to do more than like 50 TPS
at scale. 

525
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,240
So it's we're actually going to 
be working with Birgi and 

526
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,920
bringing the Movie VM to their 
system. 

527
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,200
Probably more experimental on 
down the road map, but for any 

528
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,080
game that wants to launch, a 
bear chain simply probably won't

529
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,600
work. 
You'll probably need to like get

530
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,840
an exclusion for that. 
Yeah, so therefore. 

531
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,200
Like Bear chain will sort of act
as a a security layer for L twos

532
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:02,360
and and and other app chains 
that want to leverage bear chain

533
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:06,080
security. 
Yep cool. 

534
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,080
Let's let's talk about the 
stack. 

535
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,360
So you know immediately there 
are there are different parts of

536
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:15,080
the stack here that yeah, I mean
even for me sometimes like it 

537
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,000
can still be a little bit 
confusing. 

538
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,440
So you know there's M1, there's 
M2 and the idea here is for like

539
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,480
M1 to act as you know this sort 
of like layer one that that 

540
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,120
enables M2 chains and roll ups 
to to launch on top of it. 

541
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:33,320
Can you explain like broadly 
what the stack looks like and 

542
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,840
where? 
And also there may be zooming 

543
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,480
out like where these different 
components sit within the 

544
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,320
modular stack. 
If we bring in like now Celestia

545
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,000
and Eigen layer maybe like union
for interoperability, you know 

546
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,040
if we're looking at a sort of 
infographic of this, like what 

547
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,800
would that look like? 
Yeah, so we can. 

548
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,720
Start with top down South 
execution layer. 

549
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,160
You have the movement VM which 
is the DM salvage machine, 

550
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,440
supports move smart contracts as
well as supports EVM smart 

551
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,800
contracts. 
So it's the EVM interpreter 

552
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,880
that's eventually transition to 
transpire that exists on top 

553
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,200
SDK. 
So any smart contracts whether 

554
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,600
you're in MOVE or slowly Kansas 
other execution layer settlement

555
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,640
is Ethereum. 
We believe that's the best 

556
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,160
security centralization also 
enables liquidity to easily flow

557
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,680
to layer two through a trust 
minimize bridge. 

558
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,360
The kind of stack of framework 
we're using is a zero knowledge.

559
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:29,200
Rob, we're using versus right 
now for ZK fraud proofs, but 

560
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,640
also looking at scope out our 
own ZK Move VM proving kit. 

561
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:38,120
So you have MOVE VM execution, 
ZM settlement, ZK fraud proofs 

562
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,720
as kind of the roll up framework
and then right now using slash C

563
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,960
for DA, I'm giving us the one 
that's Live Today as well as 

564
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,840
allows for cold data to be 
pushed directly DA and saves a 

565
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,280
lot of gas fees. 
So it's kind of like this 

566
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,640
Frankenstein of like different 
layers which is kind of the 

567
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,560
direction I I think a lot of 
different roll up in tubers. 

568
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,560
And last bit on sequencer 
portion, I think today's 

569
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,760
centralized sequencers cannot 
scale and do not scale. 

570
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,520
I think most people agree. 
If you look inscriptions like it

571
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,400
like broke every sequence that 
exists and the simple reason 

572
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,840
that arbitrary MZK sink and 
these teams aren't innovating is

573
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,680
because they're making a lot of 
money on sequencer fees. 

574
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,160
Because we're a next Gen. roll 
up, our fees are basically 

575
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,400
pennies. 
So we don't actually prioritize 

576
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,560
sequencing fees. 
We have a fully decentralized 

577
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,240
sequencer day one that enables 
Valors to take the move token to

578
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,040
participate in sequencing for 
layer 2. 

579
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,000
So it's a fully decentralized 
layer to a network where the 

580
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,040
transaction fees are distributed
to stakeholders, stakeholders 

581
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,680
take the token to participate in
sequencing. 

582
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,600
So actually is like a bridge 
between like a layer one and 

583
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,800
layer 2IN that sense. 
How? 

584
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,800
How? 
Do you deal with the 

585
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,280
decentralized sequencing? 
Because if you kind of look at 

586
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,040
the L2 stack on Ethereum right 
now, no one's really figured 

587
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,160
this out yet, right? 
So basically, S Tech are the 

588
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,480
people who are who are saying 
that we're not going to do this 

589
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,000
without, but they're also saying
they're probably launched 

590
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,040
earliest in a year or so. 
Yeah, so. 

591
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,920
I think a large in groups like 
Origin based setter, they've all

592
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,800
announced like Optimism Super 
chain is a sequencer. 

593
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,440
I think they've all announced 
that they want to do desensitize

594
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,200
sequencer. 
But like I touched on, there is 

595
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,160
no economic incentive for them 
to prioritize it because they're

596
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,880
making a lot of money on 
sequencer fees. 

597
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,040
So it's always like OK, we'll 
eventually do that or we'll work

598
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,920
with a third party, but the 
third party never really works 

599
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,160
out. 
So it's always been pushed back.

600
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,480
For us it's a directly a 
priority a because we're a high 

601
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,800
throughput chain. 
So we each have a decentralized 

602
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,720
sequencer to manage the load 
down to the network. 

603
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,640
And B, that's our token business
model. 

604
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,000
We need a decentralized 
sequencer for the Ballers to 

605
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,640
have taking privileges, which 
actually accrues value and buy 

606
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,840
pressure for the token. 
So that means we're actually 

607
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,760
prioritizing as a core part of 
our tech stack. 

608
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,080
I think Metis is another one. 
Our mode, one of those has 

609
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,480
started and launched with the 
decentralized sequencer and I 

610
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,600
think we'll see a lot more of 
this come. 

611
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,000
I think Astra is also launching 
the new layer, two of the 

612
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,880
decentralized sequencers. 
So teams that prioritize these 

613
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,400
centralized sequencers, we'll be
able to Sprint to market, while 

614
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,800
teams that don't prioritize it 
have no sense to do so. 

615
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,720
Can you? 
Walk us through how it works. 

616
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:13,320
So the only the only technical 
implementation that I'm aware of

617
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,920
is the one that Sello is pushing
kind of who who are moving from 

618
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,000
like an L1 to an L2 network. 
So how how do you go about it? 

619
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:22,880
Yeah. 
So I think we. 

620
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,200
Have a very similar approach 
Sello. 

621
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,080
Sello had a layer one. 
They now they're approaching 

622
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,080
this like layer two. 
Honestly cable idiom. 

623
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,200
All the valors from Sello were 
layer one to layer one, take the

624
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,880
cello token to participate in 
sequencing for the cello layer 

625
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,280
two. 
So that kind of works how we 

626
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,400
have it, right. 
So we have M1, which is booklet 

627
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,640
stomach consensus. 
For those that are familiar, 

628
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,360
it's from the Avalanche system. 
That's essentially A 

629
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,320
fastenality, extremely low 
hardware requirements and very 

630
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,720
decentralized consensus 
mechanism. 

631
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,400
That's our sequencer valor stick
to move token to participate in 

632
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,720
sequencing for the layer 2. 
The benefits of using them and 

633
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:02,080
there is leaderless it when you 
water Q transactions, you can 

634
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,120
have multiple different nodes. 
So if one node goes down, the 

635
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,000
network doesn't go down, you'd 
have a centralized point of 

636
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,360
failure and then B, anyone can 
run a node for the network. 

637
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,080
So the issues like slana apps 
and squeeze the hardware 

638
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,400
requirements are very high. 
The minimum stakes are very 

639
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,720
high. 
So it's very centralized in that

640
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,760
sense. 
With our stomach consensus, 

641
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,920
anyone can run a node. 
It's very low sticky 

642
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,640
requirements, so we can have 
much more decentralization at a 

643
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,480
network level. 
Cool. 

644
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,400
I want to come back to. 
The to the stack a little bit. 

645
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,000
So could you describe like what 
is the role of of M1? 

646
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,120
So is M1 like the the sort of 
shared sequencer that all M2 

647
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,120
chains? 
Are are going to? 

648
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,760
Use. 
Yeah. 

649
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,760
And and then how does M1 then 
connect into IBC and then all of

650
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,040
the other like move chains that 
are part of the broader, you 

651
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,280
know, move ecosystem, so you'll 
have M2? 

652
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,360
As the main like fraction, well 
think of like the optimism 

653
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,840
chain, the main chain you have 
M1 as sequencer which is kind of

654
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,840
analogous to optimisms super 
chain sequencer. 

655
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,520
And then we have other move 
rollups launching the network 

656
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,080
and all sequenced by the same 
sequencer set which is M1 which 

657
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,679
is like the OP stack rollups. 
So similar business model there 

658
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:15,360
was focused on A launching our 
sequencer off the bat and B on 

659
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,320
the next Gen. 
VM. 

660
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,400
So our stack will actually 
complimentary to LP stack where 

661
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,480
you can use LP stack, use the 
move stack to the VM and connect

662
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,840
to the sequencer. 
I think everyone's customizing 

663
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,840
ADA layer, customizing role 
frameworks, customizing proven 

664
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,320
marketplaces but then not 
touching the EVM at all. 

665
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,920
Our stance is we don't believe 
that should be the case. 

666
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,360
We should we want 
experimentation at the VM level.

667
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,679
If you're building a gaming role
up which we see a lot of demand 

668
00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:41,280
for, you probably want to use 
the Move VM or SVM something 

669
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,920
like that. 
And yeah, the M1 sequencer 

670
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,520
connects all the different 
systems, allows for liquidity to

671
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,440
be routed seamlessly and then 
envision as you have these 

672
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,040
hundreds of roll ups all 
connected to Ethereum with this 

673
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,639
decentralized sequencer set. 
Fascinating. 

674
00:34:56,639 --> 00:35:00,080
And yeah, let's maybe just zoom 
in a little bit to where 

675
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,120
Celestia fits into all of this 
and how it supports the the roll

676
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,760
ups being built on on top of 
album 1. 

677
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,960
Yeah. 
So the thesis last year was each

678
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,360
settlement and EDA is really 
expensive. 

679
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,000
If it were like optimize an 
arbitrum, the fees are pretty 

680
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,080
high there. 
So how can we free all DA to 

681
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,600
really scale a theum roll ups so
that you can still be on theum 

682
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,800
settlement but post call data to
a cheaper source. 

683
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,880
That's when Celestia Eigen avail
even near an hour kind of 

684
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,840
position ourselves as leaders in
the space from there kind of 

685
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,880
like what roll ups like 
ourselves Eclipse Manta etcetera

686
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,720
have already been focusing on is
OK we're bringing alt VMS and 

687
00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:42,840
next Gen. 
VMS and different VM stacks to 

688
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,200
Ethereum. 
We need to use Celestia because 

689
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,520
if you have a paralyzed VM on 
top of theorem and you're not 

690
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,120
using alt TA it's still being 
really expensive. 

691
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,000
You'll inherit security of 
theorem and obviously be a true 

692
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,280
L2 but the user experience could
be pre subpar at least until the

693
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,000
pool being shortings out which 
is appears out at this point. 

694
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,360
So that's kind of thes of these 
alt DA that also ties into the 

695
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,240
kind of IBC narrative which you 
touched on before. 

696
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,760
We're working with the union on 
being fully IBC compatible. 

697
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,720
They're building out so like 
kind of machines for us. 

698
00:36:07,720 --> 00:36:12,960
So essentially if you want to do
cross chain swaps on top of M2, 

699
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:15,960
you can do that with IBC itself.
Kecked Osmosis. 

700
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,560
Kecked to Juno. 
Kecked to your favorite Cosmos 

701
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,040
sones or World chains or 
whatever you want to call it, 

702
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,000
Yeah. 
So we're. 

703
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,240
Recording this on March the 12th
and the dengue wouldn't upgrade 

704
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:32,320
is going to be tomorrow, so kind
of this will give us Proto Deng 

705
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,760
sharding. 
I think it's pretty obvious that

706
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,000
it's not going to be enough, but
how much do you think it'll help

707
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:42,800
the entire call data situation? 
Yeah, so it's an. 

708
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,200
Exciting day tomorrow, so 
looking forward to that. 

709
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,480
But to be frank, Frank, I don't 
think it's going to be that 

710
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,000
noticeable. 
I've seen like some recent 

711
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,640
measurements and like I think 
I'm going to be a few cents 

712
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,520
difference the full day and 
starting as we know it is like 

713
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,440
three or four years out which at
that case that we can reassess 

714
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,600
the needs for all DA. 
But I think like slust taking 

715
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:09,800
cut fees down at 99% today while
per day and charting is like .1%

716
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,280
something like that. 
So I don't think it really it 

717
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,520
really is a factor I think user 
experience I mean F theorem will

718
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,760
be a little bit better it's it's
why I stepped in the right 

719
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,840
direction. 
But the fact of the fact, the 

720
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,560
truth of the matter is like 
Ethereum Foundation and like 

721
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,080
Ethereum itself can't move as 
rapidly as like Celestia Eigen 

722
00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:27,600
third party infrastructure 
groups. 

723
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,760
So in the short term and 
midterm, honestly, all DS sells 

724
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,720
the market. 
And what's the? 

725
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:39,640
Role of like restaking within 
the sort of movement story. 

726
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,880
And how does eigen layer fit 
into all of this? 

727
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,280
Yeah, so rethinking. 
Has always been an interesting 

728
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,240
area that I think it's 
definitely, probably the hottest

729
00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:50,040
thing right now, one of the 
hottest things people want to 

730
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,360
use Ethereum security. 
There's groups bringing you to 

731
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,400
Cosmos, there's groups bringing 
you to like Bitcoin and it's 

732
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,440
just like kind of using more 
capital efficient markets. 

733
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,400
We're seeing a lot of layer twos
work with resignal providers at 

734
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,960
the bridge contract level. 
So imagine you have like 

735
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,360
arbitrary deposit each to Barber
trump, it can be able to 

736
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,160
restrict you with a Rio Renzo 
one of these players and have 

737
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,120
extra yield. 
So I think these are much like 

738
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,440
yield bearing strategies that 
layer two is adopting. 

739
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,440
I think the way we're 
approaching is like all similar 

740
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,320
to that like having LRT at the 
bridge contract. 

741
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,600
If you're a family office liquid
follow you a lot of ETH. 

742
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,440
You want to deposit on a chain. 
You can you can stake it on on 

743
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,760
an LST and then restick it with 
LRT on the British cadre level 

744
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,840
have fully automated so you 
don't need to worry about it. 

745
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,560
Have like extra yield that you 
wouldn't be able to get usually.

746
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,200
And the benefit of loss is that 
because it's fully formally 

747
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,600
verified, it's actually the most
secure way to restick ETH. 

748
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,920
So we topped a lot of liquid 
funds. 

749
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,200
The concern they have is OK, I 
want to earn yield, but security

750
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:51,600
is very important to me. 
I'm not. 

751
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,840
I'm family office. 
I don't like to take a lot of 

752
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,000
risk. 
I just like hold ETH and sell at

753
00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:59,280
certain times. 
So for them the pitch is OK. 

754
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,560
This is the best place to deploy
ETH restate kit, earn the yield 

755
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,440
that you want, and have it 
fully, fully verified. 

756
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,040
So it's not the security 
concerns that you're actually 

757
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,800
worrying about. 
It actually creates a bigger 

758
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,560
narrative around insurance, 
which gets me excited because in

759
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,840
the past insurance has been 
really pretty much useless 

760
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,320
because it's more contract risk.
There's actually a world where 

761
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,960
you can, because you have ETH, 
you can use that as collateral 

762
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,920
for investment. 
So if you're like using Ave. or 

763
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,240
USWAP on chain, you want to use 
Restake as collateral. 

764
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,040
You can use IGA insurance, which
in the park protocol they're 

765
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,840
working on as collateral for the
investment. 

766
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,320
So that's another ABS that's 
actually really exciting 

767
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,080
especially for the move because 
the security gaps enable it to 

768
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,720
be much more risk adverse or 
much more risk better, which 

769
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:45,240
enables interest rates to be 
lower, which enables retail 

770
00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:49,200
capital come in more easily. 
Any thoughts on the rise of 

771
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,680
Bitcoin L twos because kind of 
we've in the in the past months 

772
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,040
or so those have been all the 
rate right? 

773
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,160
Yeah, I. 
Think like personally, I don't 

774
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,600
really understand that well. 
I'm not that deep in Bitcoin 

775
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,080
space. 
So like the Bitcoin programming 

776
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,920
space, I'm sure there's other 
people that can see better to 

777
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,200
it. 
For my standing, it's like a way

778
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:11,160
for people to you take existing 
Bitcoin reserves, put it on 

779
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,200
chain or put it into we're now 
like custody multi sigs or side 

780
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,880
chains and are on yield for 
that. 

781
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,480
So in the short term makes 
sense. 

782
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,240
It's a way to generate yield and
it's a way for layer twos or 

783
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:25,560
whatever you want to call it to 
boost up TBL ability, rolling 

784
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,920
chain like 2 billion three 
billion TBL in a week or 

785
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,320
something crazy. 
And I think a lot of geek 

786
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,760
systems are now looking at that.
How can we acquire Bitcoin 

787
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,240
liquidity. 
In the past rapid TC was always 

788
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:39,520
available but family offices, 
liquid funds don't really want 

789
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,960
to wrap BTC because the whole 
process gas fees are really 

790
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,040
high. 
It's a risk. 

791
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,840
So BTCL, twos enabled needed 
Bitcoin to exist and be 

792
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,240
repurposed for yield. 
So I think what a lot of 

793
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:53,240
different groups are looking at 
is how can we integrate 

794
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:57,280
something in Babylon, integrate 
like the BTC accrued from there 

795
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,120
and earn the yield for our 
system. 

796
00:40:59,720 --> 00:41:01,760
So something that we're looking 
into is, is there a world where 

797
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,200
we can be native BDC, be it 
Babylon or other infrastructure 

798
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:06,800
providers and have that used in 
D5. 

799
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,360
But obviously we're experimental
and probably more down the road 

800
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,880
map. 
But I think like Bitcoin itself 

801
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,040
is here to stay. 
I think that each EF proved that

802
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,440
it's going to be like currency 
of gold. 

803
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,080
It's not going to be very 
programmable. 

804
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,360
I don't imagine the next social 
or gaming app being built on 

805
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,400
these BTCL twos. 
I don't think that's possible at

806
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,120
my current knowledge. 
I think it's just a way to 

807
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:31,440
repurpose BTC, which is cool. 
So I think short term play makes

808
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,960
sense. 
Long term, I'm Kevin Schurr. 

809
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,840
But teams like us are looking to
kind of leverage that for 

810
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:40,800
existing TDL Security benefits. 
Yeah, I I personally think that 

811
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:45,920
Bitcoin is going to play a a 
bigger and bigger role in the 

812
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,120
Layer 2 narrative in the coming 
year. 

813
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,440
And you know a lot of that I 
think is fueled by you know the 

814
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,240
ETF bringing like lots more 
liquidity into the space but 

815
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:58,760
also a lot of the kind of 
technical developments that are 

816
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,680
happening there. 
So I've you know there was this 

817
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,640
Bitcoin renaissance event at 
Denver and I think like half of 

818
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,920
the teams that were that were 
that had boost there were were 

819
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,320
building some kind of restate 
Bitcoin product or liquid steak 

820
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,880
Bitcoin product And and I think 
that you know given bitcoins 

821
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,600
position as like the largest and
more secure blockchain it makes 

822
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:26,320
a ton of sense for that capital 
to be utilized well one in D5 

823
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,720
through liquid state assets with
now whether like that's 

824
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:32,720
technically possible that you 
know you can do sort of trust 

825
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:35,480
minimize versions of Bitcoin on 
other chains. 

826
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,520
It's going to be very important 
like yeah, we don't want this 

827
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,720
just to be a multi sig, but then
yeah, the security aspect I 

828
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:42,720
think is also huge. 
So like whoever figures that out

829
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,760
and brings it to market, I think
we'll we'll do very well. 

830
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:50,200
Want to move on now to, yeah, 
you you guys announced a couple 

831
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:57,840
of months ago a partnership with
Yeah Union and Noble and I was 

832
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,240
really excited about this 'cause
we're we're all also very 

833
00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:02,280
bullish on, on those two teams. 
Yeah. 

834
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,640
How does this help bring USCC to
movement? 

835
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:11,040
And can you describe maybe like 
the role of Union in bringing 

836
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:15,560
IBC to, you know, the movement 
ecosystem, but also Cosmos and 

837
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,680
Ethereum and sort of tying it 
all together so that we can have

838
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,520
fungible USC across all these 
platforms? 

839
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,200
Yeah, things like IBC has always
been like regarded as like the 

840
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,840
most secure, one of the best 
bridging centers on the market 

841
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,160
and there's a bunch of transport
layers on top of that which like

842
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:37,440
layer 0 wormhole, hyperlane. 
Recently Wormhole was a nice 

843
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,040
warm chain which is like gateway
now which is their cosmos 

844
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,120
adaption layer. 
Zero and Hyperlane both have 

845
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,840
also obviously adaptions. 
You have Xlore as well. 

846
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,360
So all the biggest bridging 
protocols all use IBC under the 

847
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:54,320
hood, but they use it probably 
non-native way is really 

848
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,080
difficult. 
I mean point of view to use them

849
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,720
like for warmly you have to 
bridge to the gateway and the 

850
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:00,560
bridge gateway to respective 
chains. 

851
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,920
There's lack of native IBC 
connections. 

852
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,720
So there's a few groups that 
have emerged to kind of solve 

853
00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:07,520
this problem. 
You have like Palmer Labs, you 

854
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,520
have like proposal finance, you 
have Union Labs. 

855
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,400
Now they're now looking at 
different ways to bring IBC 

856
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,400
natively T systems. 
So part of our partnership with 

857
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,520
the union is they're working on 
building direct Lifeli machines 

858
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,320
for a layer or two. 
So if you're a DAP on top of 

859
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,600
movement, you can do 
transactions directly. 

860
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,960
Does Moses do it to other 
chains? 

861
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,800
It starts off through the Union 
chain I believe, but eventually 

862
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,960
they'll be native IBC 
compatibility, which really 

863
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,920
exciting because now you can 
have any of USCC, you have Adam,

864
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,440
Tia, you can get the benefits of
all the Cosmos and assets that 

865
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,280
people want on chain without 
relying on the third party and 

866
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,960
secure bridge provider. 
But I think my general thesis is

867
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,040
that IBC is the COSMOS standard.
I know we touched on this as 

868
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,360
convergence where Cosmos 
accomplishes the vision, the 

869
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,840
Internet of blockchains where 
every roll up, every L1L2L3 or 

870
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,680
whatever you want to call it, 
we'll use IBC as a main bridging

871
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,280
provider bridging standard of 
the hood. 

872
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,760
It's just depending on like 
where the wrappers on top of it 

873
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,520
and transfer layers on top of it
that facilitate that. 

874
00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:11,280
So you have like Wormhole doing 
it from like their point of view

875
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:15,120
which is more third party and 
more trust reliant and you have 

876
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,040
like Union and Palmer which are 
looking to kind of address the 

877
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,080
security assumptions and 
increase speeding times. 

878
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,480
Union specifically is looking at
ZKIBC. 

879
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,720
They built Comet BLS, which is a
new standard for messaging, some

880
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:29,680
pretty exciting and bullish on 
them, which is how we're working

881
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,040
with them. 
Yeah, I'm I'm glad you mentioned

882
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,440
conversions because there's a 
couple of topics that we we 

883
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,520
touched on at the event that I'd
like to bring up here. 

884
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,760
So you know one of the topics 
that we talked about was USD 

885
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,200
denominated asset dominance in 
crypto. 

886
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:50,320
It's obviously like USDC and and
Tether are you know by a large 

887
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:55,680
margin leading in stable coin 
issuance you know over things 

888
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,360
like like die and and other 
decentralized stable coins you 

889
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,840
do do you think this like you 
know Corel from Union was on the

890
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,200
panel also And so I I encourage 
those who haven't seen that to 

891
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,560
go check it out. 
It's on the Nebula Summit 

892
00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:10,120
YouTube channel. 
We'll link to it in this show 

893
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:11,680
notes. 
But you know he was saying that 

894
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,920
you know he felt that there was 
a risk to crypto to having these

895
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,360
well one like centralized 
centrally issued stable coins. 

896
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,160
But also I think another topic 
that another sort of point that 

897
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,360
I haven't heard brought up very 
often is yeah, you know this 

898
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,360
USDC denominated stablecoins. 
So it's kind of like US 

899
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,600
alignment, U.S. dollar alignment
risk. 

900
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:37,200
Do you do you see that as a risk
and you know how? 

901
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:41,080
How can one mitigate that 
considering the fact that like 

902
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,080
these stablecoins already have 
like such dominance over the 

903
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:49,840
space? 
So yeah, we discussed like USCC 

904
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:54,000
dominance and my thing is like I
have actually pro Circle 

905
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,240
dominance in the short term 
because if we already have very 

906
00:46:57,240 --> 00:46:59,960
few users on chain and like if 
you ever want like consumer 

907
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:03,400
safety, right now we need like a
third party like big provider 

908
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,680
Circle Coin Base to really issue
these assets and provide 

909
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,800
confidence to retail users. 
Like going back to my example of

910
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,360
like family using crypto, if I 
told them to use like die or a 

911
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,520
maker or like some of these 
other stable phone providers, 

912
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,200
they're probably free down big. 
What is this? 

913
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,560
If I said it was like, OK, it's 
a stable coin issued by Circle, 

914
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,200
like now probably going to be a 
public IPO company. 

915
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,640
The very US regulated, has a lot
of rules, regulations, they feel

916
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,360
all more comfortable. 
So there's like two kind of 

917
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,440
markets here, right? 
You have like retail, which is 

918
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,800
like people who don't really 
know crypto at all. 

919
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,280
They want to explore with it. 
You need Circle, you need a 

920
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,720
Coinbase, You need centralized 
authority for them to feel 

921
00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:41,720
comfortable. 
And then you have the experience

922
00:47:41,720 --> 00:47:43,840
on chain degens. 
People have been trading for 

923
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,560
years. 
They recognize that in the world

924
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,400
that Circle kind of goes rogue 
or Coinbase goes rogue. 

925
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,880
They want the ability to 
safeguard their holdings. 

926
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,360
That's why Dye is really 
interesting, that's why UCT is 

927
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,280
like is interesting is that was 
like Athena, which is not a 

928
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,280
stable coin, but they're 
providing different in 

929
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,320
investment kind of issuances. 
So I think there's different 

930
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,880
groups for those categories 
where you can provide solutions 

931
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,320
and stable coins and assets for 
more roughly native people. 

932
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,880
But to bring in people's base, 
you do need centralized 

933
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,000
authorities. 
So actually Pro Circle Pro 

934
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,200
Coinbase issued assets. 
Yeah, I think that makes sense 

935
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:20,240
to me. 
I think in the short term it 

936
00:48:20,240 --> 00:48:22,360
makes sense. 
You know, looming in the back of

937
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:27,600
my mind is always this 
censorship risk with USDCI think

938
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,160
that's really the main risk that
I see. 

939
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,040
But as the space becomes more 
regulated, that is going to be 

940
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,640
the case. 
Also most likely like, I mean 

941
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:41,040
all applications and and dash 
will be subject to potentially 

942
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,240
like having to central 
transactions that don't fall in 

943
00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:45,280
line with like compliance. 
Yeah. 

944
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:51,600
In terms of, yeah, like this 
Cosmos and Ethereum convergence 

945
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:56,120
idea, which was the main main 
topic of the the panel in 

946
00:48:56,120 --> 00:49:00,480
Denver, Yeah, what's the end 
game here for you like in terms?

947
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,280
Of cosmos. 
And Ethereum coming closer 

948
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,000
together and benefiting from 
each other as sort of strong 

949
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,560
points, Where do you see that 
heading towards? 

950
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,600
I think Ethereum. 
Is used for liquidity, is used 

951
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,200
for settlement security. 
What Cosmos is used for 

952
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,360
communication. 
The Cosmos has a lot of 

953
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:20,720
different features. 
They had tournament, they had 

954
00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:24,960
SDK at IBC, they're called BFT, 
gone BFT. 

955
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,280
There's a whole zone thesis with
like custom app chains. 

956
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,080
I think a lot of the times the 
zones had a lot of struggle with

957
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,520
Isotoponomics and blue shopping 
values. 

958
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,920
That's a pretty difficult. 
But the one thing that was 

959
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,960
always prominent and like 
beautiful was if you had 

960
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,560
multiple zones, you could use a 
Cosmos CK and you connected to 

961
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,120
Osmosis, you connected to your 
favorite chains and it's 

962
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,200
permissionless interoperability 
which is kind of like 

963
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,920
Hyperland's motto. 
But I really see that kind of 

964
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,880
mantra spreading towards the 
theme of the modular stack. 

965
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,560
Where in this world where you 
have all these roll ups and all 

966
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,560
aspects of chains, you don't 
want to wait for a third party 

967
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,000
bridge provider to always 
deploy. 

968
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,800
If I'm building a new gaming 
chain I want to watch 3 weeks, I

969
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,400
sure have to wait for layer zero
or any other kind of third party

970
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,280
bridge provider to deploy on top
of me. 

971
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,520
I should be able to use IBC or 
some third party pretty standard

972
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,720
to get connected to my favorite 
chains so I can Sprint on my 

973
00:50:15,720 --> 00:50:17,960
product. 
So I think that's where IBC has 

974
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,720
a unique market where enables 
for permissionless interop, a 

975
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:22,920
few different groups building 
wrappers on top of it. 

976
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,160
But IBC is the standard that's 
going to be adopted for this 

977
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,320
mass welcoming of change that's 
coming. 

978
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,520
Whereas the theorem is still 
like the programmable computer 

979
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,480
where people building on top of 
it, using it for liquidity, 

980
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,080
using it as like a supercomputer
and then IBC is connecting on 

981
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:40,880
it. 
So I think the Cosmo theorem 

982
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,840
narrative and the Cosmo theorem 
vision is coming to fruition 

983
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:48,680
today where maybe Cosmos zones 
don't win but IBC wins which 

984
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,760
means that Cosmos wins and maybe
that Ethereum layer like 

985
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,360
Ethereum Layer 2 and Ethereum DA
as don't really make sense. 

986
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,720
There's also a question about 
what is a roll up is a if you're

987
00:50:58,720 --> 00:51:01,840
really does that mean that 
you're a roll up or is that mean

988
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,560
L2? 
I think that's a frivolous 

989
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,000
debate. 
I think as long as you can get 

990
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,600
Ethereum some give some some 
capacity doesn't really matter. 

991
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,400
I think that if. 
IBC wins everybody. 

992
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:12,840
Wins. 
I think it's not so much. 

993
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:17,360
About like I think the End Game 
is just you know and and Ethan 

994
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,960
Buckman and and Sam Hart were 
talking about this on a on an 

995
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,280
episode of I think it was like 
one of the Block Works podcast 

996
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:24,720
recently and they were talking 
about the end game. 

997
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:29,960
And like the end game is all 
chains using IBC and benefiting 

998
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,200
from this amazing intro ability 
technology. 

999
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,960
And then you know if I take it 
even a step further and this is 

1000
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,480
sort of Corel's point of view, 
is that we we have this swarm of

1001
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:42,320
validators that is validating 
the state of all these chains. 

1002
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,840
And as an application, you know,
like there's just, you don't 

1003
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,600
know who's validating your your 
your transaction, but it's it's 

1004
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:53,800
being added to this massive sort
of swarm of state, this massive 

1005
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,440
state that is secured by the 
swarm of of validators. 

1006
00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:00,000
I kind of see that as the as the
end game where Aetherium sort of

1007
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,720
sits at the bottom layer 
provides liquidity provides a 

1008
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:06,000
major part of the security. 
But Cosmos, you know through its

1009
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,560
construction, through the 
construction of the the Cosmos 

1010
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,560
stack and been at the forefront 
of of modular with the app chain

1011
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,480
thesis brings the technology and
the technical philosophy to 

1012
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,560
build that applications in a way
that makes sense. 

1013
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,320
I'm 100. 
Percent with you both that kind 

1014
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:27,360
of IBC is kind of like the 
absolutely golden part of 

1015
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,200
Cosmos. 
So I think this is something 

1016
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,200
that kind of the theorem 
ecosystem is lacking and and bad

1017
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,560
kids we see it. 
And bad, I think. 

1018
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,040
Bad kids always win. 
There was a. 

1019
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:43,120
Podcast, probably already here a
year and a half ago. 

1020
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:48,600
Also with Ethan on Bankless. 
Interestingly, where kind of he 

1021
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:53,440
argued his thesis that Ethereum 
is kind of like this empire 

1022
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,880
where kind of everything 
ultimately settles back to 

1023
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:59,800
Ethereum, where whereas kind of 
cosmos is like this network of 

1024
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,920
cities, states with kind of like
pockets of value. 

1025
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:08,280
So now in this Cosmos and 
Ethereum convergence picture, 

1026
00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:12,320
how would that kind of translate
into this metaphor in terms? 

1027
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,840
Of cities and states like where?
Yeah, in terms. 

1028
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,560
Of like having like a giant 
empire where basically 

1029
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,880
everything's kind of like 
inverted pyramid shaped and 

1030
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,400
everything ultimately said it's 
back on main net where so like 

1031
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,360
that's. 
I would say like the United, I 

1032
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,480
would say clearly the US for 
example the United States would 

1033
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,760
be Ethereum. 
You have a bunch of different 

1034
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:35,160
states which is like you have 
like movement is 1 state you 

1035
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,160
have like another roll up is 
another state you have all these

1036
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,000
different states are all over 
for roll ups and the highways 

1037
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,320
that connect all the different 
states are is obviously where 

1038
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,520
you need like connectivity 
between the different states. 

1039
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,880
Otherwise if you're from 
California you can't get to New 

1040
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,280
Jersey. 
If you're from like Oregon you 

1041
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,840
can't get to Florida. 
So that's like the main problem 

1042
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,520
actually between crypto is like 
if you look like earlier settle 

1043
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,480
stage when America was first 
developed, this is probably just

1044
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,200
might inherit American coming 
out. 

1045
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,240
But like there was like really 
it's really hard to like travel 

1046
00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:07,080
between different States and 
different regions. 

1047
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,680
Back in old America when they 
built roads out and 

1048
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,960
transportation properly, it was 
really easy to get between four 

1049
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,440
states which enable people to 
network easily and meet their 

1050
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,720
family and friends. 
Same thing in today's crypto 

1051
00:54:17,720 --> 00:54:20,760
where you have a theorem which 
is like kind of the barren land.

1052
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,240
It's like it's like the 1700s 
out if you would say where you 

1053
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:27,000
all of different states kind of 
forming but still kind of 

1054
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,520
figuring out what their markets 
are like like California was a 

1055
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,560
gold state at one point in New 
York was a financial hub. 

1056
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,480
People were still trying to 
figure out their hubs in that 

1057
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,600
case. 
And then the main thing that's 

1058
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,600
missing is kind of the roads 
between different chains or in 

1059
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:43,120
this case states which the Ibcs 
position to be a best candidate.

1060
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:47,600
I was like IBC would be the 
asphalt in this case or the 

1061
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,600
concrete and then like different
groups this is getting really in

1062
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:54,080
depth to it, but like you have 
like Looney and Polymer in 

1063
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,440
different groups that are 
actually building the specific 

1064
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,440
roads if it makes sense. 
We talked about. 

1065
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:04,240
Adoption kind of depths that 
with of, you know hundreds of 

1066
00:55:04,240 --> 00:55:07,920
millions if not billions of 
people in the very beginning 

1067
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,600
kind of when we talked about 
Facebook's motivation to create 

1068
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,400
MOVE. 
So what does the future look 

1069
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:19,160
like for for Move and Ethereum 
and kind of when do you think 

1070
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,480
we'll see the first steps that 
actually have that sort of 

1071
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:27,800
mainstream appear? 
To plug myself, I was like our 

1072
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,680
main net, but the the real 
answer would be like like it 

1073
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,120
depends on what your real apps 
are like. 

1074
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:34,000
I don't. 
I don't. 

1075
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:35,640
I think there's no apps in 
crypto yet. 

1076
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,480
We don't have any real apps yet.
I'm talking about like we don't 

1077
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,000
have like an on street social 
app. 

1078
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,880
We don't have anyone that my 
parents are talking, my friends 

1079
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:43,800
are talking about. 
So we're still very early on 

1080
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,760
that too. 
Like I can we can say like oh 

1081
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,080
we'll have X amount of D fabs, X
amount of TBL, but who really 

1082
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:50,800
cares. 
There's just another like copy 

1083
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,280
pasta of another layer or two. 
We're trying to build 

1084
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,640
infrastructure and apps that 
means people can use send 

1085
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,720
payments at the speed of light 
across the world. 

1086
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:03,880
So I would say like the movie 
system is poised to carry that 

1087
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,000
through the best, A, because you
have backing from two of the 

1088
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,600
biggest consumer chains on the 
planet and then B, like the 

1089
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,960
language itself is designed for 
consumer development. 

1090
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:15,880
So I I would say that within 
like three years we could see 

1091
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,080
like a really prominent consumer
social app that gets a lot of 

1092
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,440
traction. 
But in the short term you will 

1093
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:25,280
see like much much more Pro 
France Security 5 strategies 

1094
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,880

twos than traditional methadium 

1095
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,080
solutions. 
Great.

map for movement, when can we 

1098
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,600

people start building on 

1099
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,480

involved?
