The Original Sin

Duration: 00:28:19

Speaker: Taylor Monahan

Type: Talk

Expertise: Beginner

Event: Devcon

Date: Oct 2022

With the market cooling and the merge complete, let's look at how the early choices at the protocol layer shaped the user experience today and identify what's worth changing for the user experience tomorrow.
