Sharding and Data Availability in Ethereum

This might be the dankest livestream we’ve done to date. Vitalik Buterin, Dankrad Feist, and Protolambda join Tim Beiko to discuss all things Danksharding and Proto-Danksharding.

Sharding what? Don't worry. By the end of this conversation, you’ll know how sharding has evolved over time, why danksharding is possible, how proto-danksharding will get deployed, and so much more.
