Conversation with Simon Brown: About Blockchain Layers, Attestations, and Ethereum's constant evolution

Web3 Magic - interviews with builders of novel blockchain solutions

Summary

In this episode of Web3Magic, I talk with Simon Brown as he shares his experiences and insights from his time at Devconnect-Istanbul and his involvement in the crypto space.
He discusses the value of spending time in hacker houses and the importance of meeting and collaborating with people in the industry.
Fair warning - this is a bit more tech-heavy episode, and you may feel like you need to research some terms and projects to get the complete understanding of what's being discussed.
Simon also highlights the topics of network abstraction, account abstraction, identity, and reputation as areas of interest and growth in the crypto space. He mentions projects such as Verax and EAS that are pioneering the field of on-chain attestations. Simon emphasizes the need for continuous work (and no time for complacency) on decentralization in Ethereum and the ongoing work in measuring and maintaining decentralization. He encourages listeners to explore projects like Ceramic and Intuition, focusing on off-chain attestations.

Takeaways

• Spending time in hacker houses and collaborating with others in the industry can be valuable for networking, brainstorming ideas, and sometimes even making ideas a reality!
• Network abstraction and account abstraction are important topics to explore in the crypto space.
• Identity and reputation are areas of growth and development in the crypto industry.
• Projects like Verax and EAS are pioneering the field of on-chain attestations.
