Episode notes

Rwd: If you make the prooca more trust less, there's less things you can do on chain to fix things. Having like, off chain relationships with operators makes it easier to mitigate issues. Rwd: You would like some sort of less permisioned way for people to join lido,. Maybe having a bond, or having metrics, whatever. But then if you have that and there isn't onchan, isyou you don't have a guarantee that you can actually contact these operators in as efficient a way.

Listen to conversations between two veterans of the crypto industry: Su Zhu, CEO and CIO of Three Arrows Capital, and Hasu, Strategy lead at Flashbots. Exploring the big ideas in crypto from first principles.

In this episode, Hasu continues the conversation with Danny Ryan and Tim Beiko, two researchers from the Ethereum Foundation. The three are joined by Stephane Gosselin, co-founder of Flashbots, who makes his podcast debut and stands in as Hasu's co-host.

Together, they discuss:

MEV before and after the Merge
mev-boost and proposer-builder-separation (PBS)
The rise of liquid staking pools
Whether Lido should cap its own growth
How the Ethereum Foundation sees its role in interacting with very "protocol-adjacent" projects like Flashbots + Lido
