Tim Beiko | Layer Zero
Show notes
Tim Beiko runs the core protocol meetings for Ethereum. His path into crypto began in 2017, buying the top. But he stayed in the space, initially working for Consensys and their Besu Ethereum Client before trailblazing with EIP-1559's implementation. This conversation covers his story into working with Ethereum core developers, the role and landscape of Ethereum clients, and coordinating the maintenance and upgrades to the Ethereum protocol. With the merge on the horizon and barbarians at the gates, humans like Tim Beiko work to keep Ethereum as credibly neutral, efficient, and open as possible. Can Vitalik impose his will on Ethereum? Is it centralized? This episode has the answers. ------ 📣 OPOLIS | YOUR CRYPTO CAREER https://bankless.cc/Opolis ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: http://podcast.banklesshq.com/ ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum 🍵 MATCHA | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR https://bankless.cc/Matcha 🔐 LEDGER | SECURE YOUR ASSETS https://bankless.cc/Ledger 🧙♀️ ALCHEMIX | SELF-PAYING LOANS http://bankless.cc/Alchemix ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 4:30 Tim Beiko Before Crypto 12:27 Getting into the Space 16:45 Working for Conensys 20:56 Clients and Values 26:48 Forks of GETH 31:52 Clients as Businesses 37:42 Keeping the Balance 44:57 EIP-1559 51:47 Coordinating Core Devs 59:00 Communicating Code 1:05:17 Security 1:11:18 What the People Want 1:14:18 Who is a Core Dev? 1:21:07 Facilitating Forever 1:26:00 When Merge? 1:30:47 Closing ------ Resources: Tim on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TimBeiko?s=20 ----- Not financial or tax advice.
