<p>Most rollups today aren’t sovereign. They rely on a single sequencer, creating a major centralization risk. Josh Bowen, CEO of Astria Labs breaks down how shared sequencing fixes this—eliminating blockchain silos and making rollups more secure and interoperable. Without shared infrastructure, modular blockchains just become fragmented networks. We explore the trade-offs in existing rollup solutions, why DA layers aren’t enough, and how Astria is reshaping the rollup landscape by removing single points of failure. This is how rollups can stay independent while still working together. The future of Ethereum scaling is here.</p><p><br></p><p>Consider staking with Interop Ventures by clicking the following link - <a href=" https://interop.ventures" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://interop.ventures</a></p><p><br></p><p>📚 Chapters</p><p>00:00 What Is Astria</p><p>02:10 Rollup Problems Today</p><p>06:30 Why Sequencers Matter</p><p>10:45 Fixing Interop &amp; Silos</p><p>14:55 Modular Chains Are Siloed</p><p>19:20 Shared vs. Solo Sequencing</p><p>23:40 What’s Next for Scaling</p><p><br></p><p>📎 Links</p><p>Astria Labs - <a href="https://www.astria.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.astria.org/</a></p><p><br></p><p>🌐 Socials</p><p>Josh Bowen - <a href="https://x.com/Jskybowen" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://x.com/Jskybowen</a></p><p>Sebastien Couture - <a href="https://x.com/seb3point0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://x.com/seb3point0</a></p><p>Astria - <a href="https://x.com/AstriaOrg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://x.com/AstriaOrg</a></p><p><br></p><p>🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications to stay updated with the latest insights in blockchain technology!</p>
