In this episode of Composable, hosts Alicia and Ellie sit down with Maria Shen from Electric Capital to discuss their latest Developer Report that's making waves in the crypto space. They dive deep into how the war for developers is shaping up — with particularly noteworthy data on Ethereum losing out to Solana for most new devs, and a migration of Ethereum devs to working L2s.
The surprising rise of Solana as the leader in attracting new developers, while Ethereum maintains the largest overall developer ecosystemHow Asia has become the #1 continent for crypto developers, with India rising from 10th to 2nd place since 2015The distinction between Ethereum ecosystem developers vs EVM developers, and how this affects developer statisticsWhy Base and other L2s are becoming crucial for Ethereum's developer ecosystem growthThe impact of community support and DevRel efforts on attracting new developersHow DEX activity has shifted predominantly to Solana (81% of transactions) largely due to meme coin activityThe importance of full-time developers (35% on Ethereum vs 18% on Solana) and their impact on ecosystem developmentThe correlation between crypto prices and new developer activity in the spaceThe emergence of multi-chain development as a growing trend among developers
Key topics covered:Whether you're a developer, crypto enthusiast, or just curious about where the talent in Web3 is heading, this episode offers valuable insights into the current state of blockchain development and where it might be going next.

In this episode of Composable, hosts Alicia and Ellie dive deep into the world of blockchain confirmations, exploring the nuances between preconfirmations, confirmations (like those provided by the Espresso Network), and L1 finality. They unpack how these different levels of transaction verification impact user experience and interoperability.
Key topics covered:
The emergence and evolution of preconfirmations, particularly in relation to based sequencing, and how they differ from BFT confirmationsThe role of centralized vs. decentralized sequencers and their impact on trust assumptionsHow preconfirmations affect cross-chain interoperabilityThe trade-offs between user experience and security when using different confirmation typesThe future of execution preconfirmations and shared sequencingThe impact of MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) on preconfirmation systemsDiscussion of real-world implementations, including Arbitrum and OptimismThe relationship between Data Availability (DA) layers and preconfirmationsAnalysis of "based rollups" and their implications for blockchain architectureWhether you're a blockchain developer, crypto enthusiast, or simply curious about the technical foundations of web3, this episode offers valuable insights into how transaction confirmations are shaping the future of blockchain infrastructure.

In the debut episode of Composable, hosts Alysia and Ellie begin with a foundational discussion about composability and its role in shaping Ethereum’s future. In it, they break down:
The difference between synchronous (transactions completed within one block) and asynchronous composability (transactions completed across multiple blocks).UX pain points caused by fragmentation, like "dust" left on chains after cross-chain transactions.The value of synchronous composability for creating seamless user experiences and enabling new financial products like flash loans.The challenges of achieving synchronous composability across different chains, and the need for coordination and trustless confirmation layers.Composability in terms of ACID properties (atomicity, isolation, consistency, durability)Trade-offs between synchronous and asynchronous systems, including infrastructure complexity and trust assumptions.Plus, they explore current solutions like bridges, intent-based bridging, and message-passing while discussing what’s needed to make Ethereum composable again.
Don’t miss this foundational discussion about composability and the future of Ethereum. Tune in, share your thoughts, and join us in reimagining Web3’s interconnected potential.
