t1 Protocol: Unifying Ethereum's L2 Liquidity Through Real-Time Proving - Can Kisagun

Epicenter - Learn about Crypto, Blockchain, Ethereum, Bitcoin and Distributed Technologies

While L2 rollups did help scale Ethereum, they also created siloed ecosystems, all fighting over the same liquidity, users and devs. t1 Protocol is building layer-2 infrastructure to achieve seamless cross-rollup interoperability through real-time proving, powered by TEEs. t1's low-latency with 1-second block times provides faster preconfirmations, significantly improving UX, all while maintaining full Ethereum composability.

Topics covered in this episode:

• Can’s background
