Ledger Cast Digs Into L1 vs L2 Race, Fading Solana Momentum and OpenSea Drama

The hosts of Ledger Cast, Brian Krogsgard and Josh Olszewicz, have released a new episode titled "If this, then that," covering a handful of live debates in the crypto ecosystem.

The main thread is the contest between layer-1 blockchains and the layer-2 networks being built on top of them. The episode looks at how the two approaches compete for developers and users, and how scaling choices shape where activity ends up.

The pair also address what they describe as waning momentum for Solana. The episode summary does not give figures or specific catalysts, so listeners will need to hear the discussion itself for the reasoning behind that view.

A third segment turns to drama at OpenSea, the NFT marketplace. As with the Solana segment, the show notes offer no detail on what exactly is being debated, only that it is part of a wider conversation on the state of the market.

Ledger Cast bills itself as a cryptocurrency trading and blockchain ecosystem podcast. Olszewicz also writes articles and produces videos for Brave New Coin's Insights, and both hosts are active on Twitter under the handles @carpenoctom and @ledgerstatus. The show is available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and YouTube, as well as through RSS.

The podcast carries the usual disclaimer: it is educational material, not investment advice, and listeners are urged to do their own research before buying anything. This episode's partner is TokenSets, a portfolio management platform that supports baskets such as the DeFi Pulse Index.
