Extensible Block Explorers for the Modular Future with Routescan X (Twitter) | YouTube | Spotify | gmodular: One of the core issues we heard about awhile back on our podcast with Jon Kol from Hyperlane was the ‘indexing’ problem of the modular expansion. Essentially, if we are going to exist in a world of 1000s of chains, we’ll [...]

Scalable RPCs for the Modular Expansion with Lava Network X (Twitter) | YouTube | Spotify | gmodular: Wow. What a day yesterday. Our modular market map absolutely blew up on X. Including in this map, under data tooling, is Lava Network. Lava is modular RPC data access provider for modular chains. Our discussion today is centered around how [...]

Unveiling the path from 2D to 4D for Dymension X (Twitter) | YouTube | gmodular: Dymension was the second massive modular launch following Celestia. Yesterday, the first RollApp on Dymension, NIM Network announced their genesis rolldrop to $DYM stakers, Pudgy Penguins, $PRIME holders and other communities. Of course, we asked Yishay what he thinks of NIM and [...]

Exploring The Expansion of Modular Appchains X (Twitter) | YouTube | gmodular: The explosion of modular appchains is happening. Head over to Celenium, Celestia’s main block explorer, to see the chains using Celestia for modular DA. These are typically happening through RaaS providers who offer a seamless setup process. Today we are focused Gelato’s approach to modular [...]

NEAR DA, Account Aggregation, and Chain Abstraction X (Twitter) | YouTube | gmodular: In a world of 1000s of rollups and chains, the problem to tackle is unification of these otherwise isolated execution environments. In today’s Modular March presentation, we sit down with NEAR founder Illia to take a look at their data availability layer, account aggregation, [...]

Learn about the Movement Labs Modular L2 & MOVE Language X (Twitter) | YouTube | gmodular: We were speaking to a liquid fund in Denver who just wouldn’t deploy capital into DeFi products on EVM because of the risk of re-entrancy bugs and other exploits. However, what they did mention was they wanted to deploy into Movement’s [...]

Tarun’s predictions for value accrual in the modular future X (Twitter) | YouTube | gmodular: The value accrual model in the modular stack is akin to that of the rise of the early internet. According to Tarun, founder of Gauntlet and a prominent angel investor, we will see more and more specialized usecases for applications which are [...]

Modular Day Interview with Initia founders Zon and Stan gmodular: Initia is going to surprise a lot of people I think. They have a really good relationship with Celestia and are basically utilizing the best aspects of the modular stack to build their RaaS-like solution. Robbie sat down in Denver at Modular Day to discuss [...]

Crafting the Future of Onchain Flexibility and Efficiency with Linera gmodular: Most people assume L1s aren’t necessarily part of the modular stack. However, Linera has a very interesting model of parallelization (almost like sharding) for scaling their execution environment They have a model called dual user latency transactions, which allows for high TPS through a [...]

Unpacking the Design Choices of Execution Environments with Cartesi gmodular: One of the biggest things we are leaning into is the design choices behind the certain builders decisions. We really want to understand why projects are choosing execution environments in specific modular architectures. In today’s video we sit down with Cartesi’s co-founder Felipe to gather [...]
