Arbitrum's BOLD New Bet with Ed Felten & Raul Jordan
What did the Arbitrum L2 just unlock with its BOLD release? What stage of L2 is Arbitrum in? What is next for decentralizing the Arbitrum stack? We brought on Ed Felten and Raul Jordan to help answer these questions and much more.
Ed Felten is a Co-Founder of OffChain Labs, the organization that created Arbiturm. Raul Jordan is one of the Co-Founders of Prysmatic Labs, the Ethereum consensus client which not too long ago got acquired by Offchain Labs.
