Welcome to Crypto Long & Short, our institutional newsletter. This week, we explore the need to protect DeFi's infrastructure builders. Jennifer Rosenthal, DeFi Education Fund's chief communications officer, discusses the significance of shielding these individuals and the high-level policy objectives worth defending. Meanwhile, Alexis Sirkia, chairman and co-founder of Yellow Network, analyzes Ethereum's scaling issues, arguing that the rollup model was flawed from the start due to its focus on throughput rather than value movement between participants.
We also feature expert insights, principled perspectives, and a roundup of the week's headlines.
