In our final episode of Between Two Chains, we're speaking with Angus Lamps from Stargate Finance about interoperability across numerous blockchains and the technology behind bridges and its value for decentralized finance (DeFi).

Angus emphasizes the importance of a seamless user experience in DeFi, highlights the challenges developers face, and emphasizes the need for intellectual honesty in the industry.

Between Two Chains is a four-part miniseries produced by Rehash and co-hosted by LayerZero, where we explore whether blockchain interoperability is solved.

In our third episode of Between Two Chains, we speak with Reka from RISC Zero about zerok-knowledge (ZK) proofs and their application in blockchain interoperability.

Reka explains the benefits of verifiable compute and how it relates to ZK, how ZK can enhance the connectivity between over 350 blockchains, and potential future developments once interoperability is fully solved.

Last week we spoke with Aditi and Nitya from Para about interoperability from the user's lens, and this week, in our second episode of Between Two Chains, we speak with Jill Gunter from Espresso about interoperability from the other lens: builders.

Jill dives deep into the intricate dynamics of composability and interoperability, how infra builders need to emphasize user experience to move forward, and the state of Ethereum, the ecosystem's incentives, and the importance of staying user-centric while building decentralized applications.
