Exploring Scroll's Layer 2 Solution, Ethereum Staking, and Stellar's Smart Contract Evolution

This episode is sponsored by the Algorand Foundation.

In this installment of "The Protocol," be part of our discussion with hosts Brad Keoun, the founding editor of The Protocol newsletter, and tech journalists Sam Kessler and Margaux Nijkerk. Together, they explore the continuously evolving landscape of blockchain technology, with a particular focus on what makes Scroll stand out, the diminishing demand for staking on Ethereum, and, in our PROTOCOL VILLAGE SEGMENT, Stellar's integration of smart contracts.
