Peter (CEO) and Jasper (CTO) are co-founders at SEDA Protocol, a base layer focused on interoperability. You may know them from Flux, their prior First Party Oracle protocol - Flux. On this pod, we waste no time and we go DEEP into the future of decentralised infrastructure and what would be required for mass adoption. The promise? Chain abstraction. ALPHA WARNINGSome of the things we cover include:* Defining key terms such as blockchains (multiple), oracles and bridges using tons of useful and playful analogies. * Challenges and shortcomings of the current oracles. Kingmakers or bottlenecks? Perhaps both* SEDA's evolution: from a fancier cart and buggy to becoming a Ferrari. Rethinking interconnectivity and data availability * Novel ways to monetise data: mind-melting Oracle Extractable Value [Alpha Warning]* Other protocol features: how anyone can become a data provider, how to setup your own relay, how to launch products as modules, and more!* Data. Chain abstraction. Rust. Rrrrrrrr* and much more.ResourcesSEDA Website - https://www.seda.xyz/Modular Blockchain Thesis (AltVMs)- https://x.com/jasperflux/status/1730193805507223654?s=20Layer Zero - https://layerzero.network/Follow on SocialsSEDA X - https://twitter.com/sedaprotocolPeter X - https://twitter.com/realpeterjmJasper X - https://twitter.com/jasperflux

Kendall Cole is the founder and CEO at Proximity Labs, also known over time as the 'Defi Arm' of NEAR Ecosystem. On this wide ranging conversation with Kendall, you can actually hear the energy and the tone in the room change as time goes on. As we keep hitting him with quirky jokes, and asking genuine questions from every angle, Kendall finally starts to open up and share some top tier insights and alpha. Some of the topics discussed include:Unconventional Origins of NEAR Protocol. Unlike other web3 ecosystems, NEAR was birthed by a rare cohort of 'outsiders': big tech type, competitive programmers, and other giga brains. This has led to everything being reimagined and built from the ground up, which has presented some early challenges around implementation and communication: but could it be the secret for long term success?Origins and Evolution of Proximity: spanning across three stages we see Kendall's team solving the 'deep application layer', recruiting and enabling external teams to build on NEAR, and now putting al pieces in place to kickstart the BOS flywheelBeyond BOS as we know it. As Kendall touches on BOS, we finally get a glimpse of where this is all going. We aren't just the sidekick, a simple front-end. With the addition of remote accounts (coming soon) NEAR will be able to provide a unified user experience being a core access point to smoothly transact on any blockchain [Mind-melt alert!]NEAR Data Availability - we geek out on how L2s (optimistic rollups) work on Ethereum, the challenge of storing State, some of the emerging Data Availability solutions such as Celestia and Mantle. Then Kendall explains how NEAR has very cheap state which, inadvertently, is the best solution at the moment for all these L2s...MOREResources Blockchain Operating System (BOS) - https://www.proximity.dev/BOSIgnas Defi Interviews - The Endgame for NEAR Protocol, interview w.
