In the debut episode of Composable, hosts Alysia and Ellie begin with a foundational discussion about composability and its role in shaping Ethereum’s future. In it, they break down:

  • The difference between synchronous (transactions completed within one block) and asynchronous composability (transactions completed across multiple blocks).
  • UX pain points caused by fragmentation, like "dust" left on chains after cross-chain transactions.
  • The value of synchronous composability for creating seamless user experiences and enabling new financial products like flash loans.
  • The challenges of achieving synchronous composability across different chains, and the need for coordination and trustless confirmation layers.
  • Composability in terms of ACID properties (atomicity, isolation, consistency, durability)
  • Trade-offs between synchronous and asynchronous systems, including infrastructure complexity and trust assumptions.

Plus, they explore current solutions like bridges, intent-based bridging, and message-passing while discussing what’s needed to make Ethereum composable again.
