| 0:00.0 | And this is the last weekly roll-up that will be under proof of work with Ethereum. |
| 0:07.6 | Bankless Nation, it is the second Friday of March, |
| 0:10.5 | September. What time is David? |
| 0:12.6 | Ryan is the Friday bankless weekly roll-up where we cover the entire weekly news |
| 0:17.0 | in crypto, which is always an ambitious endeavor, especially this week because it's |
| 0:20.8 | merge week. Ryan, this is the last weekly roll-up that will be under proof of work with Ethereum. |

| 1:33.0 | Yeah. All right. David is actually highly confident. |
