In this week’s episode, Anna (https://twitter.com/annarrose) and Brendan Farmer (https://twitter.com/_bfarmer) catch up with Ben Fisch (https://twitter.com/benafisch), CEO of Espresso Systems (https://www.espressosys.com/). They explore the inner workings of the current L2 sequencing landscape and then discuss how a shared sequencing marketplace like Espresso works. They touch on how MEV plays a part in the new system, how the role of the sequencer can be separated into subroles, how all these parts will work together in such a system and much more.
