Summary
This week’s Unchained is my panel at Ready Layer One! We talk everything layer one with four key players and projects -- Illia Polosukhin of NEARprotocol, Zaki Manian of Cosmos, Rob Habermeier of Polkadot, and Arthur Breitman of Tezos — to find out how these projects plan to compete with Ethereum and attract developers and users. We discuss:
What platforms they are building and at which stage in development they are
How they differentiate themselves from Ethereum, and what problems they believe need to be solved
How they plan to attract devs in an industry of network effects
Whether or not Bitcoin and Ethereum are direct competitors
Whether, in the long run, crypto will be more winner-take-all or there will be multiple, interoperable chains
How they plan to bring new users into the space
How they think the transition to ETH2.0 will shake up the existing blockchain space
