In the current stage of Ethereum's development, we are confident that Ethereum will scale with the rollup-centric roadmap, envisioning various blockchains connected to the Ethereum mainnet. However, challenges arise in coordinating communication among these Layer 2 solutions (L2s). The discussion introduces Marcello Bardus, co-founder of Herodotus, a service aiming to provide developers and decentralized applications with tools to directly access and verify blockchain states, challenging the need for oracles in achieving trustlessness. The episode explores the implications of this approach for the industry, from enabling new applications to the evolution of prover markets in the realm of cryptography and distributed computing.
