🎬 DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode:
https://www.bankless.com/debrief-the-justin-drake-vs-anatoly-yakovenko-interview

------
Ethereum vs. Solana. That’s the debate we’re having today.

On Ethereum’s side we have Ethereum Researcher Justin Drake, and on the Solana’s we have Solana’s Co-Founder Anatoly Yakovenko.

They give us the good, the bad and the ugly of each other’s blockchain, settling their endgame towards the end of the episode. 

This was one, if not the spiciest debate we had on the show. We tried our best to give both guests time with minimal intervention. At times went well, at others it caused deep semantic rabbit holes. But overall both guests were able to communicate their messages.

Ethereum is Eating the Other Blockchains

Solana on Ethereum? Solana has a virtual machine called the SVM. Proponents say it’s much better than the Ethereum EVM…multi-threaded execution…now it’s coming to Ethereum in the form of an L2. 

Today on the show, we brought on CEO & Co-Founder of Eclipse, Neel Somani. Eclipse is not only a new L2 on the scene, it’s also an L2 framework, kind of like the OP Stack. It’s a superchain contender. 

This poses some very interesting questions….who wins? Does this kill Solana?

SVM on Ethereum?! Bullish or Bearish $SOL? with Neel Somani, Founder, Eclipse

Dom, aka Domothy, is a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation who is working on the research and development of some key Ethereum protocol upgrades like EIP4844, danksharding, and MEV Burn. We last had Dom on Bankless about that last one, MEV Burn, and this time we’re bringing him around to fully understand an incoming new property of Ethereum that EIP4844 is going to introduce… a new resource market… called BLOBspace…  kind of like Blockspace… but for Blobs!

What are blobs? What is Blobspace? How is it different from blockspace and blockspace markets? What will it do for Ethereum and its rollups? These are the questions we explore with Dom today. 

------
✨ DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode:
https://www.bankless.com/debrief-blobspace

You know how we say blockchains sell blocks? Well, soon Ethereum’s going to be selling more than just blocks. It’s going to be selling blobs too. 

We’re just a few months out from the biggest Ethereum release since the merge and no one’s fully mapped out the implications. But it’s going to be huge. 

- Ethereum’s getting a new product to sell… it’s called Blobspace
- The cost of transacting on L2s is about to drop toward zero…
- The economics of ETH gas and the burn are about to change forever…

Blobspace, EIP4844, proto-danksharding…that’s what the geeks call this new ETH feature upgrade. 

This is everything you need to know about Blobspace with Ethereum Researcher Domothy in this absolute banger of an episode.

David's Takes: A Hitchhiker's Guide to Riding an MEV Bot

In today’s podcast, Justin Drake and Tim Beiko help us explore Ethereum's uncharted roadmap. 

You know about EIP-4844. You know about Proposer-Builder Separation. But the Ethereum roadmap does not stop there. It continues! Each component of the Ethereum roadmap has deeper frontiers than what you may be familiar with. 4844, PBS, these are just the first stops on a longer track of Ethereum’s Sci-Fi roadmap. 

Other areas Justin, Tim, and David explore statelessness, how VCs are subsidizing Ethereum L1 R&D efforts, enshrined rollups, how all of this stuff leads to Ethereum needing fewer and fewer honest actors to work trustlessly, what quantum computing has to do with the Ethereum roadmap, trustless mempools and so much more.

Tim Beiko & Justin Drake: The Sci-fi Roadmap to Ethereum

Dan Robinson is GP and Head of Research at Paradigm. He, over the years, has done a lot of deep thinking about markets, auctions, and liquidity in DeFi, with a particular focus on Uniswap and Uniswap V3. Recently, Uniswap Labs released UniswapX, a new dutch auction mechanism, that Dan thinks changes the meta for swapping assets in DeFi, MEV, chain interoperability, and much more. 

The last time Dan was on Bankless was September 2020…almost 3 years ago! If you have ever heard Ryan or I say the phrase “Ethereum is a dark forest”...it came from that episode.

DeFi 2.0: How This Changes Everything with Paradigm’s Head of Research, Dan Robinson

🎉 Happy 100th Episode 🎉

Cobie, fka Crypto Cobain, is a cultural staple in the crypto space. Wearing many hats as a narrative investor, thought leader, and memelord, we dive into the brain of one of our favorite crypto characters.

Having been in crypto for nearly a decade, Cobie tells us his keys to surviving in crypto and what it takes to last long term. We also dive into how much decentralization matters, roles and responsibilities in shaping the world around us, and his outlook for 2022 and beyond.

Cobie advises a healthy dose of skepticism and curiosity, and describes himself as a reality maximalist. He’s gone on an absolute tear recently, dropping a series of excellent thought piece articles that establish mental models for understanding narratives across the ecosystem.

We also go through moral alignment charts and ask Cobie the big question… What does he think of Bankless?
