On this episode of Aligned Guests, host Boris sits down with Tim Clancy to dive deep into what makes Ethereum unique, the rollup-centric roadmap, and why Tim is building Sigil: a rollup that’s prioritizing having an exit window. Boris: Tim, great to finally have you on the podcast. For
Aligned Core
We believe launching an Ethereum rollup should be as simple as deploying a web app. Our new Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform makes that a reality with one-click ZK-rollup deployment. Built with Ethrex, zkVMs, and our integrated ZK infra stack.
