Roy Hui, co-founder and CEO of LightLink, breaks down what it takes to build a layer-2 platform in a very competitive field — from airdrops to developer engagement and adoption.
In this episode of Cointelegraph’s Hashing it Out podcast, host Elisha Owusu Akyaw interviews Roy Hui, co-founder and CEO of LightLink, a layer-2 blockchain. Hui discusses the current state of the blockchain industry, the challenges faced by layer-2 solutions, and LightLink’s unique approach to addressing these challenges.
Hui discusses the current landscape of blockchain technology, noting the saturation of layer-1 and layer-2 networks while emphasizing the vast untapped potential for real-world applications.
He also admits that the space is getting crowded because fewer people use onchain applications for everyday activities. Due to this saturation, various networks need to find ways to differentiate themselves from their counterparts.
