Description:

As Ethereum deploys Pectra, it faces stiff competition and community criticism. Ethereum Foundation Research co-leads Alex Stokes and Barnabe Monnot map out the chain’s direction.


Ethereum is well on its way to some major upgrades, with Pectra and Fusaka introducing a number of performance improvements in the near future. But will it be enough to stay ahead of the competition?


Ethereum Foundation Research co-leads Alex Stokes and Barnabe Monnot join the show to discuss:

  • How Pectra and Fusaka will improve Ethereum’s performance
  • What it means that its launch on two testnets failed
  • Ethereum’s “north star” — decentralization
  • Whether Ethereum can retain its top spot in the smart contract space
  • As Ethereum adopts native rollups and data availability, does it create competition with existing L2s and DA providers?
  • The new direction for the Ethereum Foundation leaders and whether Etherealize can bring Wall Street
