One of the hardest things for me to understand I will admit is whether Hydra L1 with all extensions can be used for composable DeFi.
State channels have limitations but this is assuming current state of the knowledge.
The often cited ones are:
- no ad hock hydra participants joining in and out
- trusted parties instead of unknown trustless parties as participants
Thinking out loud:
1. In normal L1 cardano network we have stakepools joining in and out so if why we can't have the same in Hydra L2 network?
2. What if hydra heads communicate with each other and we adopt threshold signatures, perhaps we can then have a full monthy L2 network
3. The 1) and 2) would allow us for effectively have kinda like lightning network with smart contract support in an isomorphic way connected with L1 security guarantees.

What am I missing, shit is hard and I am probably missing a lot.

1. We will be explaining it a bit more in the upcoming medium blog article but whoever needs to hear early and finds this whole Cardano blockchain stuff hard.

Let me try to tell you this in simple terms.
2. One you have solution for concurrency challenge but it is a bit slow solution on L1 due to conservative block size on L1 (currently ca. 65 kb)...
3. and you have fully isomorphic parallel hydra-node with hydra heads with extension protocol (research paper completed in September 2021) that allows to hydra heads between to communicate with each other then you have almost indefinitely scalable DeFi with full security of L1.

Some folks think that we in Cardano will get over time more folks from ETH ecosystem, this could be but maybe will never happen actually and maybe it actually shouldnt happen. I am not sure some folks from there I would even want to see here(of course I don't control it and good)
Cardano of course consists of many people with different backgrounds but there is something about philosophy about that is fundamentally different than Ethereum.

I see ETH more rooted in VCs thinking and pumping and returning to investors, while many Cardano folks mention price,
they rarely do this as main point, more like in addition.

This makes me conclude that even if Cardano and Ethereum would be completely the same technically they would most likely evolve in different ways (as per future governance).

A: Hello Sir B, short interview please?
B: Sure
A: What is our position?
B: I am a Junior Blockchain Developer
A: What's that
B: I know some aspects of blockchain but learning
A: Ok tell us, from smart contracts platforms what is interesting...
B: Depends what you want really..
.
A: Ultimate truth :)
B: That would have to be Cardano and Ethereum
A: Why is that, why not AVAX, ALGO, SOL, etc
B: Only those blockchains aspire at the moment to scale to millions TPS with L1 security guarantees (!), they just choose completely different path to the same goal.
A: Why is that?
B: Ethereum rushed developed an account model and rushed a few things to solve ultimately scalability issue (L2 layer using validators from L1). They want to do this via Optimistic and zkRollups.

A: Hello Sir, you are from which VC firm?
B: Unchained Inc.
<small talk>
A: How is it that new SM chains launch despite competition of Cardano and Ethereum?
A: The problem with established chains is that they have too high token price, it is much better to launch new one from 0
A: So you support chains like AVAX, SOL, LUNA, ALGO and effectively print money?
B: Well, who said print money, we innovate but for this innovation we want high profit, this is why VCs own sometimes even 50% of tokens of those chains, yes.
A: But others could copy you and fork!
B: No way, we usually patent parts of software so it is not possible to fork those chains
A: But doesn't centralize those chains?
B: Yes but most people don't care, they want to flip coins and NFTs and want cheap transactions

Since some of you are depressed with PAB on Cardano taking longer than expected by the community, let me try to cheer you up and you tell me if this worked.

... thread...
"We recognize the power of UTXO, this is why at @fuellabs_ we are building the most scalable optimistic rollup in the world, with unique UTXO-based design on Ethereum as L2 solution. We just don't believe 6 years peer reviewed research that IOHK is doing is necessary".

CRFA announcing Pool Relays page.

- relays per country
- relays per provider
- user relays per pool
- map

Note this data is excluding retired pools.
Future work:
Epoch level data not available yet but we will be gathering history from now on, also retired pools are not factored, something we want to explore as well, that is in which location they retire. We want to classify providers into cloud / baremetal in future versions.
