Episode notes

Uniswap governance for the last few weeks, I guess week has been a complete shit show for lack of better words. A16Z who controls a huge amount of uni tokens, I believe 4% of the supply was a number I was seeing around Twitter. They come in voting with their 15 million liquid tokens saying, no, we are not deploying on BNB chain. So it's kind of crazy, not something we've really ever seen before. It's just a big mess over there.

In this week's episode of 0xResearch, Blockworks Research analyst Westie joins us to discuss Ethereum's roadmap. We start with the Shanghai upgrade, how the ETH withdrawal queue will work, what this means for ETH sell pressure and if we will see a rise in ETH staking rates. We then go deep, real deep, into Ethereum's long-term roadmap. This includes distributed validator technology, single secret leader elections, single slot finality and more! If you want to know what's coming and how Ethereum will scale to a billion users, this one's for you.
