Alon Muroch, founder of SSV Labs, the core development team behind ssv.network, a distributed staking infrastructure securing ~5% of all staked ETH. Alon’s work with SSV 2.0 and the Based movement is paving the way for validators to extend Ethereum’s security to emerging applications.

Why you should listen

In this conversation, Alon Murock, founder of SSV Labs, discusses the evolution of Ethereum, its current challenges, and the potential of based applications. He emphasizes the importance of decentralization and staking in securing Ethereum's future, while also addressing the need for a clearer narrative to attract users back to the ecosystem. Alon introduces the concept of based applications as a way to enhance the role of Ethereum validators and drive value back to the Ethereum network.

Even though Ethereum remains a leader in terms of total value locked (TVL), there is room for improvement. Network activity is down, and momentum is slipping. Without meaningful change, Ethereum risks becoming inaccessible to the builders and users it needs to thrive. Ethereum needs fresh ideas to bolster the ecosystem out of its slump, unify it, and genuinely support innovation.

Enter based applications (bApps), which are any application or service that uses the Ethereum validator set for security. Inspired by the based movement, bApps enable any project to bootstrap directly from the Ethereum layer 1 (L1), enabling interoperable, scalable and cost-effective development.
