# Opening Questions: Grounding the Discussion
"As builders, what’s the most frustrating part of using infrastructure today? Is it scaling limitations, cost, developer experience, or something else?"

"Many scaling solutions promise theoretical breakthroughs, but how often do they actually translate to better developer or even user experience? What’s missing in today’s solutions?"

# Takes on Scaling Hype vs. Reality
"Do you feel that scaling solutions are being built with actual builders in mind, or are they too focused on theoretical constraints?"

"If you had to bet your entire stack on one scaling approach today—L2s, app chains, client-side proving, or something else—which would you trust, and why?"

"We see a lot of talk about TPS, data availability, and zk proofs, but what’s the one metric you actually care about when choosing a scaling solution?"

# Challenging the Status Quo
"If you could send one brutally honest piece of feedback to scaling researchers, what would it be?"

"Scaling solutions tend to optimize for abstract efficiency. But what’s one real-world inefficiency you wish they’d focus on instead?"

"What’s an unpopular opinion you have about scaling that most people in this space would disagree with?"

# Closing: Future-Proofing Scaling
"If we have this panel again in 3 years, what’s one thing you hope will be completely different about the scaling conversation?"

"If you could design a scaling solution from scratch with zero constraints, what would it look like?"
