Episode notes

I'm trying to figure out where the new four seller dynamic comes in a proof of stake Ethereum. It's like are these big LSD cartels eventually gonna try and de-risk from their ETH holdings? And if so, how do they do that? Do they return the ETH straight back to token holders or let them decide what to do with it? I'm not really sure, but that's definitely something I'm paying attention to. Yeah, we can talk about liquid staking derivatives for quite literally the end of time. So that would be like emissions that come from ETH staking. But I don't think in the short term, I think a lot of people that are staking now

In this week's episode of 0xResearch, Sreeram Kannan explains how EigenLayer enables permissionless and modular innovation across all blockchain layers. We explore EigenLayer's ETH value accrual mechanism, slashing mechanics and economic incentives, novel data availability solutions, re-staking risks and more. EigenLayer might be the most underrated project in Ethereum right now. Tune in to find out why!
