Most rollups today aren’t sovereign. They rely on a single sequencer, creating a major centralization risk. Josh Bowen, CEO of Astria Labs breaks down how shared sequencing fixes this—eliminating blockchain silos and making rollups more secure and interoperable. Without shared infrastructure, modular blockchains just become fragmented networks. We explore the trade-offs in existing rollup solutions, why DA layers aren’t enough, and how Astria is reshaping the rollup landscape by removing single points of failure. This is how rollups can stay independent while still working together. The future of Ethereum scaling is here.

Melanie Mohr, Co-founder of PWR Labs, joins to talk about building a new kind of blockchain infrastructure—one that finally bridges Web2 and Web3. PWR Chain separates consensus from execution, enabling developers to build their own chains—called VIDAs—in any language: JavaScript, Python, C++, Rust, Move, Solidity. No VM restrictions, no validators required, and no gas tokens needed.
We dive into:
– How PWR Chain rethinks the Layer 1 / Layer 2 stack
– Why most blockchains failed to attract developers
– How DPoP (Delegated Proof of Power) secures the base layer
– What makes VIDAs different from L2s and appchains
– The potential for massive corporate adoption
PWR Chain isn’t just another L1. It’s a new model for scaling decentralized applications—built to handle the next 10 million developers.

"Dango is simplifying margin trading in DeFi."
Hundreds of billions of dollars of liquidity in $BCH, $DOGE, $XRP, $ADA and other assets is mostly absent from DeFi, not to mention Bitcoin. Imagine if we could fully utilize that TVL.
That’s what Dango wants to achieve. Right after they rebuild the entire DeFi stack...
The team built Grug as a new CosmWasm-based chain purpose-made for DeFi:
- On-chain credit account
- By-default smart accounts
- No wallet, passkey-first approach
- Fees paid in USDC
- 0.5-second block times & 2,000 TPS
- Secure Rust-based smart contracts
They created Grug so they could be its first customer, building an ecosystem of DeFi apps: a spot DEX, a perp DEX, and a margin account for borrowing and lending.
With a relentless focus on UX and an upcoming Mica-compliant ICO, I’m bullish on Dango setting a new standard for on-chain apps.
Topics
- Grug: A blockchain VM with smart accounts and cron jobs.
- The challenges and benefits of Passkeys in blockchain.
- Dango's focus on user-friendly DeFi and margin trading.
- Integrating "dinosaur" assets like BCH and XRP into DeFi.
- ICO strategy compliant with Mika regulations.
- Tokenomics: Low-supply token design and buyback mechanism.
- Proof-of-Authority vs. traditional Proof-of-Stake chains.
- Decentralizing Grug: Long-term roadmap for scalability.
