Episode notes
Post-Merge Ethereum Roadmap
- Ethereum's post-merge roadmap prioritizes scaling computation through rollups.
- This approach focuses on making Ethereum a scalable base layer for rollups while maintaining decentralization and easy validation.
Decentralized Validation
- Ethereum's scaling strategy involves specializing and centralizing tasks like block production.
- Decentralized validation remains crucial for security, enabling users to reject invalid transactions through full nodes and fraud proofs.
Rollup-Centric Roadmap
- Ethereum's roadmap has shifted from sharding for computation scaling to a rollup-centric model.
- Rollups handle computation, requiring data availability scaling at the base layer.
