Scaling Without Sacrifice: Stan Kladko on Building the Modular Future of Ethereum

In this episode of Living on Blockchain, I sit down with Stan Kladko, physicist turned Web3 visionary and co-founder of SKALE Network, to unpack the future of Ethereum scaling — and why modularity may be the key to mainstream adoption.

We dive into:

• The real bottlenecks of Ethereum and what SKALE is doing differently

• Zero gas fees and the UX-first future of dApps

• Stan’s thoughts on L2 fragmentation, rollups, and bridging

• Why the modular blockchain stack could reshape everything we know about smart contracts

• What builders often get wrong when designing for scale

This is an episode packed with raw insights, bold opinions, and practical thinking from someone who’s been building at the protocol layer long before it was cool.

🎧 Tune in and discover how SKALE is rethinking blockchain architecture from the ground up — to make Web3 faster, simpler, and ready for the next billion users.
