For today's episode, we take a deep dive into native rollups.While rollups improved Ethereum's scaling, they introduced key challenges like centralized control, MEV extraction, buggy execution, and fragmented liquidity across layers.Luckily, there's a new method aiming to maintain rollup benefits while eliminating these issues.Native rollups and based sequencing offer a solution. By integrating directly with Ethereum, native rollups simplify operations and enhance security. Based sequencing lets Ethereum validators manage transaction ordering, improving L2 coordination.Teams are also considering shifting away from centralized sequencing for regulatory compliance.We sat down to chat with Justin Drake from the Ethereum Foundation and Fede to discuss this rapid transition and its implications for Ethereum's future as well as key insights for anyone following Ethereum's scaling evolution.Let's get into it.Join The Rollup Edge: https://members.therollup.coWebsite: https://therollup.co/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1P6ZeYd..Podcast: https://therollup.co/category/podcastFollow us on X: https://www.x.com/therollupcoFollow Rob on X: https://www.x.com/robbie_rollupFollow Andy on X: https://www.x.com/ayyyeandyJoin our TG group: https://t.me/+8ARkR_YZixE5YjBhThe Rollup Disclosures: https://therollup.co/the-rollup-discl

Justin Drake proposes the Beam Chain upgrade to enhance Ethereum's consensus layer with faster finality and zero-knowledge proof integration. Beam Chain aims to consolidate major updates into a single overhaul, building on advancements like zk-SNARKs and zkEVMs. The upgrade proposes bundling significant changes every few years while maintaining annual incremental improvements.~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!00:00 Intro00:08 Sponsor: Tangem00:50 Beam Chain upgrade01:54 Updates on Execution Layer + Data Layer03:50 Feedback from devs04:57 Roadmap Timeline07:00 Solana vs Ethereum09:55 Cost of building on an L1 in the future12:27 Ethereum L2 Fragmentation vs Avalanche & Polkadot14:30 New Ethereum Staking Requirements16:14 Is liquid staking an immediate threat to Ethereum?18:03 Is Cardano staking superior to Ethereum?19:39 Does Ethereum's tokenomics need to change?21:33 Which chain currently has the best issuance?23:03 The power of the meme casino strategy of Solana24:42 Are you winning the new devs?27:07 USDC on Solana vs Ethereum29:08 Microstrategy surpassing Microsoft?31:30 Outro#Ethereum #bitcoin #crypto ~Ethereum Upgrade Roadmap

What is Ethereum's North Star, and does it even need one? There has been angst in the Ethereum community, growing over the last year, as Ethereum has become squeezed by its competition. Bitcoin's story as money is growing in mainstream society. Solana has captured the hot ball of money in crypto. And Celestia's data availability continues to progress at a faster rate than what is found at home in Ethereum. This is Ethereum's Three-Front War, a topic we covered in a recent episode with Justin Drake. And today we‘re joined by Jon Charbonneau and Mike Ippolito to contextualize and diagnose what Ethereum needs in order to thrive in this competitive landscape. ------

Justin Drake joins us as the dust settles on his ‘Beam Chain' pivot (?) for Ethereum. Justin Drake of the Ethereum Foundation joins The Gwart Show! We discuss his Beam Chain proposal, covering improvements in block production, staking mechanics, and cryptography.

Is the Beam Chain the endgame for Ethereum? At Devcon, Justin Drake presented what he called his most ambitious proposal to date! Beam Chain, a roadmap which fell very flat in public discourse. In this episode we fill the gaps of this reaction and we discuss the rise of Credible Competition to the three major components of Ethereum Roadmap. Execution, which competes with Solana, Data Availability which competes with Celestia and Consensus, which competes with Bitcoin. So what's Ethereum's strategy for winning this Three Front War against three legitimate competitors? Stay tuned! ------

Ethereum has been left behind in this bull market. As rivals like Solana gain ground in metrics such as speed, cost, and developer mindshare, questions are being raised about whether Ethereum's reliance on Layer 2 solutions is the right path forward—or if it needs a more fundamental redesign. In this episode, Martin Köppelmann, co-founder of Gnosis, and Justin Drake, researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, discuss the trade-offs of native and based rollups, execution capacity, and Ethereum's ability to maintain its dominance. They debate how Ethereum should address fragmentation across rollups, whether ETH has strayed from its ultrasound money narrative, and whether its deliberate pace of innovation could make it vulnerable in an increasingly competitive landscape. Whose ideas will lead Ethereum out of this dark forest?  Show highlights: 03:10 Why Justin is so optimistic about pre confirmations and Ethereum scaling its throughput 06:15 Whether Ethereum could reach “maintenance mode” within 5 years 08:20 Whether Ethereum can solve the problem of fragmentation 20:21 The difference between based rollups and native rollups 25:29 Why Martin believes that Ethereum is not building for developers 34:21 What real-time proving is and why it is relevant 37:46 How programmable native rollups could have different business models from Ethereum but the same security 44:51 Why most assets on L2s might not actually be secured by Ethereum 50:24 Whether Ethereum's consensus layer might see a “clean slate” redesign with the Beam Chain 58:59 Whether Ethereum's slow pace of change could leave it vulnerable to competition 01:06:55 How Ethereum's shift to rollups and blob data has reshaped its ultrasound money narrative by transforming the primary sources of fee burn Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!

Today, we're unpacking Beam Chain, a proposal by Justin Drake that's sparked wide-ranging discussions in the Ethereum community. Andy and Robbie sat down with Justin in Bangkok to discuss this in person, just one day after his presentation. Beam chain aims to accelerate Ethereum's roadmap by introducing a massive hard fork specifically aimed at the consensus layer. Whether you've heard about the buzz surrounding single-slot finality, programmable execution sharding, or the ambitious plans for full snarkification, this explainer is for you. (Especially if you have questions about the length of time this may take, as many of you were wondering why it would take 4+ years). At its core, Beam Chain is a proposal to improve the consensus layer of the L1 with snarkification, lower slot times, more usage of ZK VMs, higher gas limits and more. Of course, every ambitious proposal brings challenges. Some in the community see Beam Chain as a bold leap forward, while others question whether it's ambitious enough in the timeframe presented. Feedback has ranged from requests for faster timelines to discussions about the balance between ossification—Ethereum entering a “maintenance mode”—and the need for continued innovation to compete with other L1s. By the end of this pod, you'll have a deeper understanding of how Beam Chain fits into Ethereum's long-term plans, its implications for L1 and rollup-centric development, and why Justin Drake sees this as a pivotal step toward completing Ethereum's roadmap by the end of the decade. Whether you're here to evaluate its technical merits or simply to see what the future of Ethereum might hold, this a pod you won't want to miss.

What exactly are Based Rollups? We've brought Ethereum Researcher and Bankless recurring guest, Justin Drake, to give us his reasoning on why he thinks the future of Ethereum is Based.  A handful of teams are already working on this Based Rollup future so, with this episode, and perhaps a few more, we're front running it all and getting you downloaded on all things Based Rollups. Enjoy! ------

The Ethereum Foundation has been very active in the public discourse, notably with Vitalik's return back to X and engaging in the technical debates about the Ethereum roadmap. Following our recent podcast with Justin Drake about Ethereum's roadmap, we set out to understand one key component of that discussion in further detail. This component? Real-time proving, formal verification, and building a more resilient smart contract environment for Ethereum. While it might not get as much spotlight as the latest protocol launch or governance upgrade, formal verification is a crucial foundation for ensuring that the infrastructure we rely on is secure, efficient, and free from catastrophic errors (and thus, exploits). It's about verifying that the code we trust with billions of dollars works exactly as intended, which is especially important as we transition from optimistic rollups to full ZK rollups, with no backup. In this discussion with Alexander Hicks from the Ethereum Foundation, we explore the Foundation's ongoing efforts to apply formal verification to ZKVMs. This approach is designed to make ZKVMs more scalable, secure, and ultimately more reliable for users and developers alike. Formal verification ensures that every step of a complex system like a ZKVM is mathematically proven to be correct, offering a new layer of security to the onchain world. Alexander walks us through his journey from computer security and mathematics into the blockchain space, and how this background helped shape his work on formal verification at Ethereum. With a $20 million budget for builders and a long-term focus on sustainable solutions, Ethereum's formal verification program is aiming to safeguard not only ZK rollups but potentially Ethereum L1 itself. Whether you're a founder, builder, developer or an onchain maxi looking to get involved this one is for you. Website: https://therollup.co/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1P6ZeYd..

08th Oct: Blockchain DXB Podcast

The future of Ethereum is in our hands. Undeniably, the community has a major decisions to make which will shape the endgame of Ethereum. Today's piece dives into the important discussion on synchronous composability and shared sequencing, a topic that sits at the heart of Ethereum's scaling journey. We caught up with Justin Drake, who shared his views on the current state of rollups, the challenges of decentralizing sequencers, and how Ethereum is positioning itself as the go-to layer for data availability. There's a growing shift in the revenue structure of rollups, with congestion fees overtaking MEV, making decentralized and shared sequencing more attractive for long-term scalability. In this conversation, we explore how synchronous composability can dramatically improve both user and developer experiences across rollups. Justin also breaks down the benefits of shared deposits and real-time proving as key enablers for achieving true onchain network effects. Justin also shared his vision of achieving 10M TPS across Ethereum and how we get there. We touched quite a bit on based rollups and some of the awesome teams building different stacks as well. Let's dive deeper into why shared sequencing may be the solution to Ethereum's fragmentation and how it can reshape the future of L2s and L1 scaling.

SOL/ETH is up 300% YoY and ETH/BTC is down 50% over the last 2 years. Why is that? Why is ETH underperforming so bad? Kyle Samani is the Managing Partner & Co-Founder at Multicoin Capital. Kyle and Multicoin have been one of the largest investors and proponents of Solana. They have been spearheading the ‘integrated blockchain' investment theses even before the success of Solana redefined that corner of crypto. This episode is not intended to be a debate like the Anatoly vs Justin Drake one. Ryan and David are mostly going to sit back and hear Kyle's perspective and reasoning as to why ETH has been down so bad in this crypto cycle. Enjoy! ------

In today's Modular March presentation, we're diving into a topic brought to light by Ethereum foundation researcher, Justin Drake. Interoperability has long been a stumbling block in the path to a unified DeFi space. Traditional bridges and their limitations, the high costs associated with proof aggregation, and the challenges of achieving true atomic composability have fragmented the landscape. Yet, amidst these challenges, Ethereum has been pushing towards a world of shared sequencing. In this presentation, we discuss Nodekit's unique consensus mechanism that ensures quick finality and minimal reorganizations, which is essential for the reliability of atomic operations across chains. As we explore the future of blockchain interoperability and the role of shared sequencing and hyperstructures, it's clear that projects like NodeKit are pivotal. Lets learn about shared sequencing together.

In today's episode, we do a shared sequencing deep dive with repeat guest, Mr. Moonmath himself, the Blockchain Brainiac, and the Ethereum Evangelist– Justin "The Juggernaut" Drake. Justin is joined by The Sultan of Sequencing, the Espresso Emperor, the Cross-Rollup Connoisseur himself, Ben, the Blockchain Barista Fisch.   Where the fragments of Ethereum threaten to turn the digital ecosystem into a maze of confusion, these two men stand tall, illuminating the way, to come and save us from the labyrinth of Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap.  ------

In this episode, Rabbi Jeff Dreifus speaks with Anna Herman. Anna Herman is the Director of Henry S. Jacobs Camp in Utica, MS. Having grown up in Dothan, Alabama without a large Jewish community, Anna cultivated a strong Jewish identity and felt proud of her heritage. After being recommended to go to Jacob's camp by a local Rabbi, Anna's life was changed. This trajectory led her to Jacob's camp, working for the Union of Reform Judaism in New York City, and back to camp again as Director.   Expect to learn how camp can help kids become more confident, build resiliency, learn interpersonal skills, connect to Israel and Israelis, and make enduring friendships. Rabbi Dreifus and Anna also discuss the grassroots fundraising campaign that launched Jacobs camp and the methods employed by Anna and her team to reduce camp costs so no child is turned away. Finally, this conversation describes the effect the COVID-19 pandemic had on summer camp and what went on behind the scenes in order to have camp in 2021. The podcast closes with Anna's enticing pitch for why families should consider sending their child to camp next summer, tune in to find out!   Registration for Camp: https://jacobscamp.org/register/     Thanks to Justin Drake for Audio Technical support.

In this week's episode, Anna (https://twitter.com/annarrose) and Nico (https://twitter.com/nico_mnbl) interview Or Sattath (https://twitter.com/or_sattath), Assistant Professor at the Ben-Gurion (https://cris.bgu.ac.il/en/persons/or-sattath) University in the Computer Science department. This is the 2nd episode with Or on this show, continuing the conversation around Quantum Cryptography. This time, he describes how we can transition from a pre-quantum to a post-quantum environment, looking at existing systems like Bitcoin and Ethereum. He covers why the methods used in the transition will be important, techniques on how this could be executed and the challenges in designing these techniques and the complications that can arise. Finally, they go on to discuss Quantum Money and recent works in this area. Here's some additional links for this episode: Part 1 - Episode 288: Quantum Cryptography with Or Sattath (https://zeroknowledge.fm/288-2/) Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Prime Factorization and Discrete Logarithms on a Quantum Computer by Shor (https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9508027) Shor's Algorithm (https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/composer/docs/iqx/guide/shors-algorithm) Grover's Algorithm (https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/composer/docs/iqx/guide/grovers-algorithm) A fast quantum mechanical algorithm for database search by Grover (https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9605043) Fawkescoin: A cryptocurrency without public-key cryptography by Bonneau and Miller (https://jbonneau.com/doc/BM14-SPW-fawkescoin.pdf) Bitcoin is not quantum-safe, and how we can fix it when needed by Buterin (https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/bitcoin-is-not-quantum-safe-and-how-we-can-fix-1375242150) Cryptographic canaries and backups by Justin Drake (https://ethresear.ch/t/cryptographic-canaries-and-backups/1235) Notes and recommended links by Or Sattath: NIST post-quantum standardization (https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/post-quantum-cryptography) for post-quantum digital signatures and public-key encryption (or, more precisely, Key Encapsulation Mechanism, KEM). These are classical schemes that, unlike almost all the existing schemes that are used in practice, are secure against quantum adversaries. Signature Lifting (arXiv link) (https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.06754) is discussed as a technique to migrate to post-quantum signatures, especially for those who didn't prepare in advance. Here's a recommended Twitter thread (https://twitter.com/DesheShai/status/1635599973269098499) summarizing the results by Shai Wyborski, Or's co-author. An approach to upgrade Bitcoin to quantum money is available here (https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.11998). This uses a cryptographic primitive which is called quantum lightning, which was introduced here (https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/1080.pdf). Some smart contacts capabilities can be supported (https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.12806) as well. This construction is based on one-shot signatures (https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/107), which isdiscussed in some detail during the interview. The bottom line of this work is that we can have the most important utility that Bitcoin provides, without the need for a blockchain, or any other consensus mechanism. Uncloneable cryptography (https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.14265) was discussed during the interview. Quantum encryption with certified deletion (https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.03551) was discussed as an interesting example of a property that can be achieved only in quantum cryptography.

Joining us today for this deeply technical conversation is RiscZero CEO Brian Retford and Justin Drake. RiscZero is attempting to create a zkEVM for Ethereum that will require such low compute requirements that validators could be run on smart watches and mobile phones. Moderated by Justin Drake, we take a look at the implications this tech can have on the future of Ethereum. -----

In today's podcast, Justin Drake and Tim Beiko help us explore Ethereum's uncharted roadmap.  You know about EIP-4844. You know about Proposer-Builder Separation. But the Ethereum roadmap does not stop there. It continues! Each component of the Ethereum roadmap has deeper frontiers than what you may be familiar with. 4844, PBS, these are just the first stops on a longer track of Ethereum's Sci-Fi roadmap.  Other areas Justin, Tim, and David explore statelessness, how VCs are subsidizing Ethereum L1 R&D efforts, enshrined rollups, how all of this stuff leads to Ethereum needing fewer and fewer honest actors to work trustlessly, what quantum computing has to do with the Ethereum roadmap, trustless mempools and so much more.  -----

Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. In this 8-episode series, we are exploring some new frontiers. New frontiers in new technologies, all of which are poised to completely revolutionize the world and change everything about the operating system that society is currently running. This video features two conversations with big-brain builders Daniel Shorr of ZKML and Justin Drake of the Ethereum Foundation. Although cryptography quickly falls down a technical rabbit hole, it looks like we're entering a new golden age of cryptography. Keep an eye out as we roll out the rest of these boundary-pushing episodes! ----- BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:
