MegaETH's plan to save Ethereum (and beat Solana at their own game) | Internet Explorers Ep. 66

How does ETH get its swagger back? According to Namik Muduroglu from MegaETH, the answer is forgetting memecoin nonsense, getting back to its "world computer" roots, and adopting a Bronze Age mentality. Josh and guest host Nicholas dive deep into MegaETH's innovative architecture, which separates consensus from execution, and unlocks unparalleled performance. Namik shares insights on incubating killer apps to demonstrate the chain's potential and their unique community fundraising approach. The discussion also touches on the competitive landscape, highlighting Solana as a key rival. Josh and Nicholas then keep you up to date with the big moments of the week, including Farcaster's Coinbase Wallet integration, Berachain updates, and all the new Clankers.
