Episode notes

EIP 4444 is where they create this new sort of data layer on Ethereum that's kind of temporary storage for layer twos. So if you transact on layer two today, I think optimism had a Dune dashboard which is showing something like 95 or so percent of the cost is actually posting your data back to layer one. EIP 4444 will enable layer two to go from posting their data back to on Ether L1 forever to posting it to this data layer, which will be more ephemeral and pass those cost savings on to those users.

On this week's episode of 0xResearch, Tim Beiko shares his insights on Ethereum's governance, client diversity, and roadmap. We delve into the importance of EIP4844, the UX improvement from single-slot finality, Ethereum's state growth problem, the rationale behind MEV burn, and more! Tim is one of the most knowledgeable people on Ethereum's roadmap - you won’t want to miss this one!

And as usual, we start the episode with our analyst Hot Seat/Cool Throne segment, where we debate Frax's CPI-pegged stablecoin, the L2 wars, Base and Jump's counter-exploit against the Wormhole exploiter!
