On February 23rd at 10am Pacific time, Office Hours will host Steven Goldfeder. Steven founded Offchain Labs, the company behind Arbitrum, a web3 project worth $21b as of this writing.

Arbitrum is a L2, a layer 2, that sits atop Ethereum, improving its performance & cost to write transactions.

Steven authored many of the seminal papers behind modern blockchains.

More than innovating technically, Steven has guided Offchain Labs’ developer relations strategy in a unique way in the ecosystem. Arbitrum has ammassed more than $12b of assets on their platform (called total value locked or TVL) via that strategy.

During this Office Hours, Steven & I will talk about :

• Steven’s strategy behind developer relations & how other web3 companies can apply it
• the role today & in the future of the L2 databases
• the new stack for developing web3 applications
• upcoming trends for crypto across the major usage categories : stablecoins for payments, decentralized finance, & NFTs

If you’re interested to attend, please register here. As always, submit questions through the registration form & I’ll weave them into the conversation.

I look forward to welcoming Steven to Office Hours!
