Sreeram Kannan from EigenLayer joins us to discuss the evolution of human coordination mechanisms and the role blockchains play in their transformation. In this first episode since the token’s release, he discusses what attracted him to the industry, the challenges in bootstrapping trust and how AVSs play a role within it. According to Sreeram, societies evolve with their systems of forming commitments. Gold, legislation and economic policy in global monetary systems are built around commitments. But how do you scale that to the size of the internet? This is what Sreeram discusses in today’s episode. Tune in for a simple, distilled explanation of the EigenLayer ecosystem.
