Episode notes

E-staking overall has hit 20% of supply as staked so no surprise there to really see that number continue its trend higher and it's definitely showing zero signs of stopping. Lido is kind of dominating not only the original set of stake but also the new flows of stake as they come online. Right now they have about 75% of specifically of the LST market share and about 32% of all ETH staked is done through Lido. They recently passed a governance prop unrelated to their stake breakdown but they prop to kind of dog food their own their own LST and stake their 20 000 ETH in their treasury into staked ETH.

Lucas Bruder (Baffalu), Co-founder & CEO of Jito Labs, joins us this week to dive into their flagship Liquid Staking product JitoSol. Dan and Sam explore Solana MEV, liquid staking, validator decentralization and Solana's DeFi future.

And as usual, we start the episode with our analyst bullpen joined by Blockworks researchers Ren and Pibblez to discuss why Arkham's token has not been received well, Stargate V2 sybil volume, dYdX MEV stance, and Ethereum staking.
