Robbie and Andy are CoFounders of The Rollup.

In this episode, we discuss modularity and the unbundling of the blockchain stack. Robbie and Andy cover what is the significance of modularity in the world of blockchains and how it will unlock the ability for anyone to create a blockchain network and ultimately focus on other matters such as the next generation of DeFi and Web3 applications.
