On episode 27 of the Zero Rights Reserved podcast, host Toady Hawk from The Noun Square sits down with James Ross, founder of a modular OP Stack L2 called MODE Network, which is aiming to bring more defi energy to the Superchain.
We hear about James' crypto and defi journey and find out why he wanted to build on Ethereum and on the Optimism stack. We chat about Eigen Layer (which he advised previous to founding MODE), some promising protocols on MODE, Farcaster, incentivizing builders and much more in this one hour conversation.
