Restaking Alignment with Vitalik, Sreeram, Tim Beiko, Justin Drake, Dankrad & Jessy

What are the implications of restaking? Not every Bankless listener will be prepared for this conversation. This one is a hard one. If you want to be adequately equipped for the conversation that awaits, we recommend listening to the Bankless episode we did with Sreeram a few weeks ago. That episode will get you up to speed to understand some of the nuances and problems that are discussed in today’s episode.  Because, today on the show, we have the largest and most gigabrain panel that we’ve ever had on Bankless…Vitalik Buterin, Justin Drake, Dankrad Feist, Jessy (aka 13-year-old VC - that’s her pseudonym), and of course… Sreeram Kannan himself, founder of Eigenlayer and perhaps the creator of restaking…all moderated by Tim Beiko!  ------ 🚀 Unlock $3,000+ in Perks with Bankless Citizenship 🚀 https://bankless.cc/GetThePerks  ------ 📣 CYFRIN | Smart Contract Audits & Solidity Course https://bankless.cc/cyfrin  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:  🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2  🦊METAMASK LEARN | HELPFUL WEB3 RESOURCE https://bankless.cc/MetaMask   ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum   🧠 AMBIRE | SMART CONTRACT WALLET https://bankless.cc/Ambire  🦄UNISWAP | ON-CHAIN MARKETPLACE https://bankless.cc/uniswap  🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle  ----------- TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 4:45 Setting the Panel 8:51 Jessy’s Restaking Thoughts 10:20 Justin’s Restaking Perspective 11:40 Dankrad’s Restaking Views 12:30 Sreeram’s Restaking Arguments 14:00 Why Justin is a Restaking Doomer 18:30 EigenLayer’s Restaking Architecture  22:05 Restaking Builder Hooks  25:05 Vitalik’s Restaking Concerns   30:05 EigenLayer’s Acceleration 32:50 Sreeram Addressing Vitalik’s Concerns 37:48 Ensuring Restaking is Aligned  46:04 Reputation Systems & Alignment  51:35 Ethereum Protocol Complexity  59:00 Credible Neutrality  1:03:30 MEV Boost & PBS  1:07:10 One Shot Signatures  1:09:10 Closing Thoughts, Arguments, & Next Steps 1:16:30 Closing & Disclaimers ----------- RESOURCES Sreeram Kannan  https://twitter.com/sreeramkannan  https://youtu.be/HcEGXoC57Rw  Vitalik Buterin https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin  Tim Beiko https://twitter.com/TimBeiko  Justin Drake https://twitter.com/drakefjustin  Dankrad Feist https://twitter.com/dankrad Jessy https://twitter.com/13yearoldvc   ----------- Not financial or tax advice.
