Episode notes

Mining pools are very interesting because the capital applocation is actually much more liquid, you know. So if i actually don't like a mining pull, i can, i can move over much more quickly. That that becomes more possible post murge, but it's not really possible at this point. But i do believe that in the extreme, governments can coerce this capital to operate in a unified way. You know, whether b deep attacks, very likely not.

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
