In this spirited debate podcast episode, Tommy is joined by Kyle Samani, Co-Founder of Multicoin Capital, and Nick White, COO of Celestia Labs, to discuss the future of blockchain infrastructure. Kyle lays out the case for integrated blockchain platforms like Solana and Aptos that optimize for scalability, while Nick argues for the flexibility of modular networks like Celestia.

They dive deep into the core philosophies underpinning modular versus monolithic designs when it comes to topics like scalability, verification, composability, and more. Kyle and Nick exchange perspectives professionally on whether modular systems or integrated chains will become the optimal architecture for blockchains in the long run.

This intellectually stimulating discussion provides insight into the reasoning behind two schools of thought on blockchain infrastructure design. Learn about the end-state visions from Kyle and Nick as they civilly debate this important topic for the future of crypto and Web3.
