Summary

We’re joined by Tim Beiko, Ethereum Foundation coordinator, to break down Ethereum’s next major upgrades and the future of scaling.

We explore the upcoming Petra hard fork, which introduces validator consolidation, increased blob space for rollups, and EIP-7702 for improved account abstraction. Tim also shares insights on Fusaka and Glacier Dam, Ethereum’s roadmap for scaling, and how Ethereum’s upgrade process is becoming more efficient.

For 2025, we need Fusaka on the layer one with Pyr Das, ideally with 48 blob target.

0:06.4

And then he falls up saying, let's aim to get a Fusaka test net with these blob parameters running the day after Pectra goes live.

0:13.1

There's all these proposals saying like we should a hard fork every six months or every quarter or whatever.

0:16.8

This sounds good in theory, but imagine we're doing this, say, for the merge, and it's like, okay, we mix the six months deadline.

0:22.5

Do we just, like, ship a bunch of random less useful stuff?

0:26.0

Obviously, it's still the highest important priority to ship the merge.

0:29.6

If it's going to take an extra six months, because there's something fundamentally hard about the merge, we should still be willing to pay that cost.

0:42.6

Yeah. to merge, we should still be willing to pay that cost. Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance.

0:46.8

And today, we're exploring the next steps in the Ethereum roadmap.

0:50.5

Ethereum is alive.

0:51.8

It is an organism that is constantly evolving and adapting through a slow,

0:56.0

iterative process of debate, deliberation, and rough consensus.

1:00.0

And the Coliseum for where this all goes down is the Ethereum all core devs calls.

1:04.0

This is where priorities are hashed out and EIPs are either marked for inclusion or cut and left on the floor. With me today on bankless is

1:12.0

Tim Bako, who is a coordinator of these all-core dev calls. He is right in the middle of everything,

1:16.3

traffic controlling conversations and priorities from the various components that make up

1:20.4

Ethereum while also ensuring that things do keep on progressing. With the Pectra hard fork on

1:25.5

the horizon, I thought it was time to get Tim on the show

1:27.5

to give the Bankless Nation an update as to what is included with Pectra, as well as what's coming

1:32.1

over the horizon with the next Ethereum upgrades, Fusaka, and then eventually Glamsterdam.

1:37.3

And if these names feel both odd and familiar to you, they are. And we'll explain how
