Summary
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.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, Bankless Nation, to the Sci-Fi Roadmap to Ethereum. |
| 0:11.2 | You know about EIP4844, you know about Proposar Builder separation. |
| 0:15.6 | But you probably didn't know that the Ethereum Roadmap does not stop at these things. |
| 0:20.3 | It continues. |
| 0:21.6 | Each component of the Ethereum Roadmap has deeper frontiers than what you may be familiar |
| 0:26.1 | with. |
| 0:28.1 | These are just the first stops on a longer track of Ethereum's Sci-Fi Roadmap. |
| 0:33.1 | In this episode, we're going to explore these deeper frontiers to Ethereum, with Justin |
| 0:37.0 | Drake and Tim Baker, the two individuals who can probably see the furthest along the |
| 0:41.0 | Ethereum frontier out of anyone. |
| 0:42.6 | We're going to learn about what is statelessness and how it's helping Ethereum make the furthest |
| 0:46.9 | reaches of the internet even more trustless. |
| 0:49.6 | How Ethereum is going to absorb ZKtech at the layer 1 level. |
| 0:53.8 | How VCs are subsidizing Ethereum's layer 1 research and development efforts. |
| 0:59.0 | What is an enshrined rollup and how is it different from all the other rollups that we're familiar |
| 1:02.7 | with and why does Justin Drake want it so bad? |
| 1:05.5 | How all of this stuff is leading to Ethereum needing fewer and fewer honest actors to work |
| 1:10.4 | trustlessly. |
| 1:11.4 | And what does quantum computing have to do with the Ethereum Roadmap and no, it's not |
| 1:14.9 | just that it breaks ECDSA signatures. |
| 1:17.6 | And what are trustless mempools? |
| 1:19.4 | Who do they protect? |
