Patrick McCorry of Infura on Alt View ep 2!

As someone who has undertaken extensive research on scalability, Patrick spoke about three different resources critical to scalability namely: computation, storage and bandwidth.

He outlined the promise of rollups, and the current issues to consider within the landscape. The speaker and host also discuss whether or not application-specific rollouts are a promising solution for emerging dApps in Web3, and what’s needed to help it come to fruition as a product.

This informative talk is a must-listen for developers, those researching scalability, zk-Proofs, rollups, app-specific chains and sidechains.
