Coinbase’s Base is making a shock move away from Optimism’s OP Stack.
In this Uneasy Money episode, LayerZero Labs CEO Bryan Pellegrino joins hosts Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan to unpack whether this is the right move for Base and what it could mean for Optimism.
Beyond Base’s big move, the trio also discuss Zora’s Solana migration, whether Coinbase was wrong to initially pursue a super app strategy with Base App, Peter Steinberger joining OpenAI, the launch of Zero blockchain and OpenAI’s EVMbench.
Will OpenAI’s acqui-hiring of Peter prove to be a “generational fumble” for Anthropic? And can crypto fix its brand problem?
Also, learn why the rise of AI agents have Kain and Tay confident that open source will win in the end.
