ASS-Backwards: How Semantic Layer is Redefining dApps with Application-Specific Sequencing

In this episode of Leviathan News, host Samuel McCulloch sits down with Dex Chen, co-founder of Semantic Layer, and Mr. DDT to discuss their pioneering work on application-specific sequencing (ASS). They dive deep into how their new transaction layer aims to give control of transaction ordering back to protocols, addressing issues like MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) and enhancing the functionality and security of dApps. Learn about their background, their vision for the future of DeFi, and how Semantic Layer is set to transform transaction processing in blockchain networks. Don't miss this insightful discussion on the future of decentralized applications!
