Episode notes

This chapter explores the debate surrounding LIDO in the Ethereum ecosystem, focusing on concerns of centralization, liquid staking tokens, and Ethereum's decision to enshrine Lido. The speaker calls for better communication and alignment between Ethereum and Lido, while also discussing Lido's plans for decentralization and the importance of stake distribution.

In this week's analyst round table Dan and Sam are joined by analysts EffortCapital and Ren. To kick-off the team discusses Cosmos events, including Cosmoverse takeaways and potential mergers between Stride and the Cosmos Hub and potential AXL token inflation adjustments. They also dissect alleged illicit transactions moved through Thorswap and its operational shutdown. They then discuss Lido's growing share of staked Ether and the on-going community debate. EffortCapital closes us out with key mentions of new album releases from Drake and Lil Wayne.
