Episode notes

Justin: What should the community be doing now as a whole to ensure like restaking is aligned? And there's different angles this can take. Like we've started to see on the LST front, there's the whole area of like around protocol changes. I think maybe that we could spend a whole podcast on, you know, what are the restaking risks and really flesh those out. Eigenlayer accelerating it so that we don't get caught by surprise.

What are the implications of restaking? Not every Bankless listener will be prepared for this conversation. This one is a hard one. If you want to be adequately equipped for the conversation that awaits, we recommend listening to the Bankless episode we did with Sreeram a few weeks ago. That episode will get you up to speed to understand some of the nuances and problems that are discussed in today’s episode.

Because, today on the show, we have the largest and most gigabrain panel that we’ve ever had on Bankless…Vitalik Buterin, Justin Drake, Dankrad Feist, Jessy (aka 13-year-old VC - that’s her pseudonym), and of course… Sreeram Kannan himself, founder of Eigenlayer and perhaps the creator of restaking…all moderated by Tim Beiko!
