THE MIDDLEWARE THESIS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

This article suggests that the main issue with crypto adoption isn't scalability, but the complexity and limitations associated with interacting with base protocol layers. Modular architecture, which allows builders to innovate and customize on top of the base layer, is presented as a solution. The author also emphasizes the importance of vertically integrated middleware, offering use-case-specific protocols and networks that could scale to millions of users.
