A.J. Warner is the Chief Strategy Officer at Offchain Labs.

In this episode, we discuss Arbitrum's dominance as an Ethereum L2 and the innovation driving its next act! This is a comprehensive overview of why Arbitrum has attracted so many DeFi and Web3 users. We cover the tech, such as Arbitrum Stylus and BOLD. We also touch on the ecosystem given the Gaming Catalyst Program will invest $215M in web3 games, as well as how the Arbitrum DAO is working towards economic stability with talks around ideas such as treasury diversification.
