198 - SUAVE Explained with Phil Daian & Andrew Miller

Phil Daian is a crypto-economic researcher! Phil is the lead author behind the landmark paper, “Flash Boys 2.0,” which introduced and defined the MEV problem in the Ethereum landscape, over 4 years ago. He is the cofounder of FlashBots, which is a research and dev organization with the mission of mitigating the negative externalities of MEV. Andrew Miller is an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois, SGX Bull, and visiting researcher at Flashbots, and big believer in cypherpunk values through crypto-economic mechanisms. ------ ✨ DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode: <a href= "https://www.bankless.com/debrief-suave">https://www.bankless.com/debrief-suave</a> Have you ever heard of Flashbots? Flashbots is the silent protector of Ethereum, a shield against the forces of centralization that silently sneak into our cryptosystems and turn them into TradFi. It’s one of the unsung heroes of crypto. The guests we have on today are from Flashbots, Phil Daian, and Andrew Miller. They believe the biggest centralization threats in crypto still lie ahead. And they’ve got a new platform that’s being built to defend against them. It’s called “Suave”, and we’ve been hearing a lot about it recently - “Solving MEV” - “Decentralizing block building” - but going into this episode, we weren’t sure exactly what it was. We found out during this episode. ----- 🏹 Airdrop Hunter is HERE, join your first HUNT today <a href= "https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT">https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT</a> ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE ⁠<a href= "https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2">https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2</a> ⁠ 🦊METAMASK PORTFOLIO | MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/MetaMask">https://bankless.cc/MetaMask </a> ⚖️ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> ⁠ 🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Celo">https://bankless.cc/Celo</a> 👾GMX | V2 IS NOW LIVE <a href= "https://bankless.cc/GMX">https://bankless.cc/GMX</a> 💲 USDV | NATIVE OMNICHAIN STABLECOIN <a href= "https://bankless.cc/usdv">https://bankless.cc/usdv</a> ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 8:20 History of Flashbots & MEV 15:35 MEV Boost 19:25 Andrew’s Journey 23:20 What’s at Stake? 25:00 Solving MEV 33:44 What’s Suave? 41:13 Intents 45:25 Suavechain? 54:53 Decentralized Block Building 1:02:27 Privacy of Suave 1:08:02 Suave’s Importance & Goal 1:12:40 L2s 1:15:18 Alt-L1s 1:18:00 MEV Naiveness 1:21:31 Benefits of Suave 1:30:36 Suave Roadmap 1:32:23 Why the World Needs Suave 1:38:25 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES How to get Started Building on Suave <a href= "https://collective.flashbots.net/t/suave-wiki/2018">https://collective.flashbots.net/t/suave-wiki/2018</a> Learn about MEV Crypto’s Existential Threat <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOVz7dOrGyY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOVz7dOrGyY</a> Flashbots Saves Crypto <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xex9WVmVfbg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xex9WVmVfbg</a> Learn about Blockchain Supply Chains Ethereum’s Hidden Power Structures <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQxuPBy8tJg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQxuPBy8tJg</a> Learn about Moloch Slaying Moloch <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=903tHM4RA9k">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=903tHM4RA9k</a> Why we can’t have nice things? <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeQ2_ep0Cg4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeQ2_ep0Cg4</a> ------ Not financial or tax advice.

197 - Software Eating the State with Sammuel Hammond

Is software eating the nation state? Technologies like crypto and AI are about to fundamentally restructure society from the bottom up. We brought economist and writer, Sam Hammond on to predict how society will be reorganized under this new paradigm and how those in power will respond. Sam Hammond is an economist for the Foundation for American Innovation, a think tank advising policies in DC whose slogan reads, “Build Tech. Promote Freedom.” Freedom and Tech. We like those two things on Bankless - and we're also concerned with the project of how to protect them in a world where software starts to eat the nation state (and the nation state feels threatened). ------ ✨ DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode: <a href= "https://www.bankless.com/debrief-sam-hammond">https://www.bankless.com/debrief-sam-hammond</a> ----- 🏹 Airdrop Hunter is HERE, join your first HUNT today <a href= "https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT">https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT</a> ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE <a href= "%E2%81%A0https:/k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2%C2%A0%20%E2%81%A0">⁠https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 ⁠</a> 🦊METAMASK PORTFOLIO | MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING <a href= "%E2%81%A0https:/bankless.cc/MetaMask">⁠https://bankless.cc/MetaMask </a> ⚖️ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM <a href= "%E2%81%A0https:/bankless.cc/Arbitrum%20%E2%81%A0">⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum ⁠ </a> 🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Celo">https://bankless.cc/Celo</a> 👾GMX | V2 IS NOW LIVE <a href= "https://bankless.cc/GMX">https://bankless.cc/GMX</a> 💲 USDV | NATIVE OMNICHAIN STABLECOIN <a href= "https://bankless.cc/usdv">https://bankless.cc/usdv</a> ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 6:48 Sam’s Take on Crypto 9:50 Nation State’s Hate on Crypto 14:53 Post-Printing Press 20:55 Crypto, AI, & The Internet 25:40 Tech Good, Bad, or Neutral? 32:03 Bracing For Impact & Tech Debt 38:15 Nation State Competition 46:39 Dangerous Tech 50:00 The Network State 1:04:55 AI Executive Order 1:12:28 China’s AI Approach 1:15:20 AI’s Double Edged Sword 1:33:45 AI & The Leviathan 1:48:23 What Technology Winning Means? 1:50:58 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Sam’s Substack, “Second Best” <a href= "https://www.secondbest.ca/">https://www.secondbest.ca/</a> AI & The Leviathan <a href= "https://www.secondbest.ca/p/ai-and-leviathan-part-iii">https://www.secondbest.ca/p/ai-and-leviathan-part-iii</a> The Dynamist - Podcast <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dynamist/id1528920211">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dynamist/id1528920211</a> Eliezer Yudkowski Episode <a href= "https://www.bankless.com/159-were-all-gonna-die-with-eliezer-yudkowsky"> https://www.bankless.com/159-were-all-gonna-die-with-eliezer-yudkowsky</a> ------ Not financial or tax advice.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s Presidential Platform for Crypto

In today’s episode, we welcome a U.S. presidential candidate who just rolled out a pro-crypto policy. This is the first one we’ve seen. His name is Vivek Ramaswamy and he plans to protect these three core crypto freedoms: Plank 1 - Freedom to Code, Plank 2 - Freedom of Financial Self Reliance, and Plank 3 - Freedom from Regulatory Overreach. Vivek Ramaswamy is a 38-year-old Republican presidential candidate. He’s an entrepreneur, he’s worked in finance, he talks a lot about freedom - most importantly, he’s brought us a new policy platform on crypto, that if elected - he will implement. That’s why we’re doing the show today. ------ 🏹 Airdrop Hunter is HERE, join your first HUNT today <a href= "https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT">https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT</a> ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE <a href= "%E2%81%A0https:/k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2">⁠https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 </a> ⁠ 🦊METAMASK PORTFOLIO | MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/MetaMask">https://bankless.cc/MetaMask </a> ⚖️ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM <a href= "%E2%81%A0https:/bankless.cc/Arbitrum">⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> ⁠ 🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Celo">https://bankless.cc/Celo</a> 👾GMX | V2 IS NOW LIVE <a href= "https://app.gmx.io/">https://app.gmx.io/</a> ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 5:17 Crypto’s Importance to Vivek 8:42 Operation Chokepoint 2.0 13:17 Freedom to Code 22:35 Freedom from Regulatory Overreach 33:05 Vision of the Founding Fathers 35:11 Freedom of Financial Self-Reliance 42:17 WSJ’s Attack on Crypto 48:27 Holding Vivek Accountable 53:19 Closing & Disclaimers ----- RESOURCES Vivek Ramaswamy <a href= "https://www.vivek2024.com/">https://www.vivek2024.com/</a> <a href= "https://twitter.com/VivekGRamaswamy">https://twitter.com/VivekGRamaswamy</a> ----- Not financial or tax advice.

Bankless Takes | Solana vs Ethereum

This is our first time ever covering a TradFi stock! However, Coinbase is a different beast… Coinbase is a behemoth of a company, growing since May of 2012.

What the ETH Futures Approvals Mean for Crypto with Eric Balchunas

Last week was unprecedented, to say the least. Several, yes that’s right, not 1, not 2, but several ETH Futures ETFs launched last week for the first time in the U.S.! What does this mean for crypto? Volumes have been surprisingly low. Is it a surprise? Will volumes pick up? Regardless, of whether they do or don't, what do all of these ETH ETFs mean for crypto? Are Bitcoin ETFs next? We brought on Eric Balchunas to help us answer the above and much more. is an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence focused on exchange-traded funds.

191 - Danny Ryan's Case Against Lido

Danny Ryan is a coordinator at the Ethereum Foundation. He’s been on Bankless many times before. Usually, we’re talking about the Ethereum roadmap and what’s coming next. This time we’re talking about something different…a risk to Ethereum that Danny sees. A little over a year ago, Danny wrote a blog post titled “The Risk of LSDs”... discussing the various risk vectors that a dominant LSD presents to Ethereum…even naming Lido specifically in the process. ------ ✨ DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode: <a href= "https://www.bankless.com/debrief-danny-ryan">https://www.bankless.com/debrief-danny-ryan</a> ------ A lot of people have decided that liquid staking with Lido is the place to do it. At the time of recording Lido has over 30% of all staked Ether. Does this present a systemic risk to Ethereum? We did an episode called, “In Defense of Lido” with researcher Hasu who argued that Lido does not pose a systemic risk to Ethereum. In fact, Lido’s dominance is better than many other alternatives. We left that conversation half-finished when we published it in August 2023. In today’s episode, we cover part two of that debate with Ethereum researcher and guest Danny Ryan who argues the opposite. Lido is a systemic risk to Ethereum and what to do about it. We believe our role as podcasters for issues like this is to voice both sides of the argument in long-form conversations and healthy debate. It is exactly the kind of thing you don’t get on Twitter. That’s why we’ve given voice to both sides of this issue. We think there are good actors who care about this ecosystem at Lido and in the broader Ethereum community and we’re sure this episode won’t be the last word on this subject. ----- 🏹 Airdrop Hunter is HERE, join your first HUNT today <a href= "https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT">https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT</a> ------ 📣 a16z Startup School | Apply Before Oct. 20th <a href= "https://bankless.cc/a16z-startup-school">https://bankless.cc/a16z-startup-school</a> ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE ⁠<a href= "https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2%C2%A0%20%E2%81%A0">https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 ⁠</a> 🦊METAMASK PORTFOLIO | MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING <a href= "%E2%81%A0https:/bankless.cc/MetaMask">⁠https://bankless.cc/MetaMask </a> ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> 🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Toku">https://bankless.cc/Toku</a> 🦄UNISWAP | ON-CHAIN MARKETPLACE ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/uniswap">https://bankless.cc/uniswap </a> 🔗 CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Celo">https://bankless.cc/Celo</a> ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 7:41 Is Lido a Threat to Ethereum 8:57 Blog Post Thinking Change? 19:30 Uniswap 21:20 Theoretical Main Risks 25:45 God Mode 27:20 Practical Main Risks 34:00 Hasu Counter-Arguments 38:25 Permissionless Validator Set Mitigation 42:30 Veto Power Mitigation Argument 46:55 How Likely is the Lido Risk? 51:26 Client Team Positioning 55:00 How Special is the Lido Case? 57:45 One LST Inevitability 1:02:30 Solutions 1:06:55 Profit Maximization 1:09:00 Action Steps For Ethereum Decentralization 1:11:53 Can Ethereum Devs Do Something? 1:20:10 Hasu Questions Answered by Danny 1:22:45 Magnitude of the Lido Threat 1:24:20 How Can Lido Fix This? 1:25:59 Stick & Carrot for Lido 1:26:27 Silverlining of Lido Threat 1:29:05 Next Conversations 1:32:16 Closing & Disclaimers ----- RESOURCES Danny Ryan <a href= "https://twitter.com/dannyryan">https://twitter.com/dannyryan</a> Danny Ryan Blog Post <a href= "https://notes.ethereum.org/@djrtwo/risks-of-lsd">https://notes.ethereum.org/@djrtwo/risks-of-lsd</a> Hasu’s Bankless Interview <a href= "https://youtu.be/IfuUdIblfrY"&gt

Fidelity's Bull Case For Ethereum

Joining us today from Fidelity are Chris Kuiper and Jack Neureuter who recently released their Ethereum Investment Thesis report. On this episode we're asking are the institutions serious about Ether? Has Ether passed through the gauntlet…like BTC? And what does it look like for institutions to actually begin investing in Ether the asset. Fidelity manages $4.5 trillion dollars, that's many multiples higher than the entire crypto market cap. This is worth paying attention to. ----- Check your wallet with our brand new tool: Claimables 🎁 <a href= "https://bankless.cc/GetClaimables">https://bankless.cc/GetClaimables</a> ------ 📣 LayerZero | Accelerating Web3 Interoperability via GoogleCloud <a href= "https://bankless.cc/layer-zero">https://bankless.cc/layer-zero</a> ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE <a href= "https://%E2%81%A0https//k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2">⁠https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2</a> ⁠ 🦊METAMASK PORTFOLIO | MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING <a href= "https://%E2%81%A0https//bankless.cc/MetaMask">⁠https://bankless.cc/MetaMask</a> ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM <a href= "https://%E2%81%A0https//bankless.cc/Arbitrum">⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> ⁠ 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK <a href="https://bankless.cc/Mantle">https://bankless.cc/Mantle</a> ⁠ 🦄UNISWAP | ON-CHAIN MARKETPLACE ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/uniswap">https://bankless.cc/uniswap</a> 🔗 CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Celo">https://bankless.cc/Celo</a> ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 7:07 Intro to Chris and Jack 8:50 About Fidelity Assets 12:00 Analyzing Crypto Risk as an Institution 16:42 What do Institutions Think of Ether? 19:17 Comparing Other Assets 23:5 5How Others Can Join Ether and Bitcoin 25:58 Ether and Ethereum 29:44 Is Ether a Money? 40:14 What is Money? 44:13 What Else Competes for Money? 48:38 Thesis Two 51:19 Ether Cash Flow 55:51 The Value of Metrics 1:00:41 Modeling Future Cash Flows 1:08:11 How Has The Report Been Recieved? 1:10:21 Whats Next For Fidelity? ----- RESOURCES Fidelity's Report on Ethereum: <a href= "https://www.fidelitydigitalassets.com/sites/default/files/documents/1101895.1.0%20-%20FDAS%20ETH%20Investment%20Thesis%20%2808.14%29.pdf"> https://www.fidelitydigitalassets.com/sites/default/files/documents/1101895.1.0%20-%20FDAS%20ETH%20Investment%20Thesis%20%2808.14%29.pdf</a> ----- Not financial or tax advice.

188 - The Next Ethereum Upgrade: Blobspace 101 with Domothy

Dom, aka Domothy, is a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation who is working on the research and development of some key Ethereum protocol upgrades like EIP4844, danksharding, and MEV Burn. We last had Dom on Bankless about that last one, MEV Burn, and this time we’re bringing him around to fully understand an incoming new property of Ethereum that EIP4844 is going to introduce… a new resource market… called BLOBspace… kind of like Blockspace… but for Blobs! What are blobs? What is Blobspace? How is it different from blockspace and blockspace markets? What will it do for Ethereum and its rollups? These are the questions we explore with Dom today. ------ ✨ DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode: <a href= "https://www.bankless.com/debrief-blobspace">https://www.bankless.com/debrief-blobspace</a> You know how we say blockchains sell blocks? Well, soon Ethereum’s going to be selling more than just blocks. It’s going to be selling blobs too. We’re just a few months out from the biggest Ethereum release since the merge and no one’s fully mapped out the implications. But it’s going to be huge. - Ethereum’s getting a new product to sell… it’s called Blobspace - The cost of transacting on L2s is about to drop toward zero… - The economics of ETH gas and the burn are about to change forever… Blobspace, EIP4844, proto-danksharding…that’s what the geeks call this new ETH feature upgrade. This is everything you need to know about Blobspace with Ethereum Researcher Domothy in this absolute banger of an episode. ------ 🎁 Check your wallet with our brand new tool: Claimables <a href= "https://bankless.cc/GetClaimables">https://bankless.cc/GetClaimables</a> ------ 📣 AAVE V3 is Here! <a href="http://app.aave.com/">http://app.aave.com/</a> ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE ⁠<a href= "https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2%C2%A0%20%E2%81%A0">https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 ⁠</a> 🦊METAMASK PORTFOLIO | MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/MetaMask">https://bankless.cc/MetaMask </a> ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> ⁠ 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Mantle">https://bankless.cc/Mantle</a> ⁠ 🦄UNISWAP | ON-CHAIN MARKETPLACE ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/uniswap">https://bankless.cc/uniswap </a> 🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Toku">https://bankless.cc/Toku</a> ----- TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 7:20 Why We’re Doing This Episode 8:45 Blobspace 9:40 History of Blobspace 11:30 Sharding & Dead Ends 14:00 Execution Sharding 16:50 Layers of a Blockchain 21:00 Ethereum Rollups 22:50 Vitalik’s Thought Process 26:10 Ethereum Development Hidden Genius 30:00 Current State of Ethereum 34:00 What is a Blob? 39:25 Blobspace Explained 44:20 Validator’s Perspective 47:00 Data Availability vs. Storage 56:31 User’s Perspective 1:00:30 How a Blob Becomes a Blob 1:04:00 Properties of Full Danksharding 1:05:20 New Math & Tech Behind Blobs? 1:12:00 L2 Blobspace & Scaling Factors 1:15:40 Blobspace Economics 1:20:00 Block vs. Blobspace Balancing 1:23:20 L2s Competing For Blobspace 1:32:10 Ethereum Subsidiaries 1:39:00 What’s Next? 1:41:30 Closing & Disclaimers ----- RESOURCES Domothy <a href= "https://twitter.com/domothy">https://twitter.com/domothy</a> Domothy article on Blobspace <a href= "https://domothy.com/blobspace/">https://domothy.com/blobspace/</a> ----- Not financial or tax advice.
