CFB Talks Digital Assets Episode 38: Ink Founder Andrew Koller on Memes, tokenized RWAs, and Ethereum's approach to scaling
One of Ethereum’s newest and most exciting Layer-2s is, of course Ink, unleashed by Kraken on the Optimism Superchain in December - so we’re thrilled to welcome Andrew Koller, Ink’s founder, to the CFB Talks Digital Assets podcast!
With deep on-chain expertise, Andrew dives into some of the most critical topics shaping the future of Ethereum, institutional participation, and how the network scales to a billion users.
Top points include:
- Are meme coins the ultimate Trojan horse for mass adoption, or is their life cycle limited?
- Can Ethereum learn from Solana’s UX, and how can users expect the on-chain experience to be more seamless following the Pectra upgrade?
- How Kraken’s expertise in stable coins is being put to work to improve on-chain liquidity using USDT0
- Are partnerships with players like Securitize paving the way for a wider array of tokenized assets, and what can Ink do to make institutions comfortable bringing assets on-chain?
- The rationale behind building on the OP stack and the road towards full decentralization
