The competition between blockchain networks is fierce. Will monolithic or modular blockchains take the lead? Which L1 will come out on top? Which L2?

Instead of asking these questions, ether.fi Co-Founder and CEO Mike Silagadze argues that users shouldn’t have to care about what chain they’re transacting on. Instead, users should just go ahead and transact for their benefit.

Mike and ether.fi Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer Rok Kopp join Mined with CoinFund hosts Alex Felix and Evan Feng to chat about the current state of Ethereum, the competition between blockchain networks, and the importance of preserving decentralization while onboarding new users. They cover:

• Ethereum’s fight for mindshare (4:33)
• Winning the L1 game (14:49)
• Onboarding to the future of finance (18:31)
• Preserving decentralization (29:31)

Web3 is comprised of some of the most advanced technological innovation to date.

But gamers don’t care to interact with it, at least today. According to Gunzilla Games’ Director of Web3 Theodore Agranat, in order to onboard the next billion people to the industry, web3 user experiences need to mimic the ease of opening and closing an iPhone app.

Theodore and Ava Labs SVP of Corporate Development and Blizzard Fund Investor Lydia Chiu join Mined with CoinFund hosts David Pakman and Evan Feng to chat about the challenges to building web3 games, crypto’s ongoing marketing problem, and how Gunzilla’s breakout title Off The Grid was a smashing success upon its launch in October. They cover:

• Challenges in web3 marketing and onboarding (5:29)
• Abstracting away the technology (15:57)
• Retaining gamers post-launch (22:41)
• The biggest obstacles in building web3 games (34:51)
