Alon and Kevin speak to Arthur Breitman, Co-Founder of Tezos! This is not only the first interview episode we've had for 'Let's Think Etherlink,' but it's also being published during the week of the 10th anniversary of the Tezos whitepaper's release.

In this episode

• Why Tezos — Arthur lays out the philosophical and technical foundations of Tezos and explains why the world needs it, discussing Tezos' key differentiators, including and especially on-chain governance.

• Why Tezos Smart-Rollups — We further discuss the impetus for Etherlink and its role within the context of the overall Tezos ecosystem; Tezos smart-rollups (which enable Etherlink), and the overall Tezos X roadmap
• Why Tezos for EVM? — Etherlink's advantages over other EVM L2s are brought into focus; Arthur describes Etherlink's MEV cost protection, security, decentralization, and its capacity for future-proofing and continuous innovation
• Some Project Ideas — Arthur also mentions some of the types of projects he'd be interested to see builders and entrepreneurs bring to Etherlink and to the Tezos ecosystem in the future
