Do Based Rollups Solve Everything? | Justin Drake

What exactly are Based Rollups?

We’ve brought Ethereum Researcher and Bankless recurring guest, Justin Drake, to give us his reasoning on why he thinks the future of Ethereum is Based.

A handful of teams are already working on this Based Rollup future so, with this episode, and perhaps a few more, we’re front running it all and getting you downloaded on all things Based Rollups. Enjoy!
