Ethereum’s Next Big Upgrade: Pectra, Fusaka & Beyond | Tim Beiko
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.

The Summer of Protocols Episode
Welcome Bankless Nation, to the Summer of Protocols!|
Summer of Protocols is an ongoing research and evangelism effort that aims to catalyze broad interest in the study of protocols as a first-class concept for thinking about the world.
To explain a little more about what Summer of Protocols is all about, we brought Tim Beiko of the Ethereum Foundation and Venkat Rao of the Ribbonfarm blog on the podcast. Additionally, this episode contains three short interviews with three of the 35 total Summer of Protocols researchers.
You’re going to experience something a little different here on the show today. Some more storytelling, a different kind of frontier exploration, but all around the idea of protocols.

Tim Beiko & Justin Drake: The Sci-fi Roadmap to Ethereum
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.

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!

Shapella in the Rearview: After Major Upgrade, What’s Next for Ethereum? - Ep. 480
This week’s major Ethereum upgrade, Shapella (it was really two upgrades, Shanghai and Capella, in one), brings the network’s multi-year journey to proof-of-stake to a close. With validator withdrawals now live, the Ethereum Foundation’s Tim Beiko explains Shapella’s significance, why EIP-4844 is the next big thing, and what else is on Ethereum’s roadmap.
Show highlights:
how Ethereum transitioned from a proof-of-work consensus mechanism to proof-of-stake
what the concerns about enabling withdrawals among developers were
why the upgrade has “de-risked” staking on Ethereum
whether there are going to be more solo stakers now that The Merge is fully completed
what’s next in the roadmap of Ethereum and how EIP-4844 will decrease the cost of posting data for Layer 2s
what “proposer-builder separation” is and what it intends to solve

MERGED with Tim Beiko & Danny Ryan
Tim Beiko and Danny Ryan are two of Ethereum’s lead coordinators, and work at the Ethereum Foundation to shepherd the many parts of Ethereum into the future.
How are they feeling on the other side of the Merge? What does this mean for Ethereum?
Few (if anyone) on the planet are more qualified to discuss the Ethereum Proof-of-Stake than these two, and we use this episode to reflect on the magnitude of the event and look forward to the future of the network.

Why Ethereum's Merge Was Delayed and Why It Won't Reduce Gas Fees Much - Ep.341
Tim Beiko, the Ethereum Foundation coordinator for core developers, discusses his recent estimation that Ethereum’s merge, where the network transitions from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, will be delayed until the second half of 2022. Show topics:
what the Ethereum merge is
why an upcoming difficulty bomb could force developers to delay the merge
what shadow forks are and how they affect the decision to go forward with the merge
how network difficulty is used in Ethereum to keep a balance between the blockchain and miners
Tim’s (purposefully vague) timeline for the merge
how the merge could increase Ethereum’s throughput by 9% – and thus potentially reduce gas fees slightly
how the Ethereum Foundation plans to address gas fees and scaling issues post-merge

Tim Beiko | Layer Zero
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.

EIP1559 Expert Panel | Tim Beiko, Hasu, Micah Zoltu, Barnabe Monnot, Matt (LightClients)
The time has come. With the London Fork just around the corner, the much anticipated EIP-1559 will be implemented. This fundamentally changes the relationship among miners, users, and gas.
This panel, moderated by Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko, is set to discuss the macro and micro shifts to the ecosystem. We've talked about this a lot on Bankless, so it's time to hear from experts around the community about this massive turning point.

"It's Almost Like EIP-1559 Fixes an Economic Bug in Ethereum; More Usage Can Now Capture More Value:" Tim Beiko
In this week’s episode we speak with Tim Beiko, who organizes the Ethereum core developers calls and knows all the intricacies and latest development of the world’s most active blockchain. We spoke right after Beiko had proposed a date for the implementation of one of the biggest changes expected to happen to the Ethereum blockchain in recent history EIP 1559. If you’re not 100% clear on what this means, fear not, because Tim explains in non-dev terms exactly how this change will reduce volatility in Ethereum gas prices and also reduce the uncertainty of whether user transactions are approved or not. Importantly, it also means that part of ETH paid per transaction will be burned. That means that if demand for ETH and use of the Ethereum blockchain are greater than ETH issued, it should put pressure on the ether price to increase.

Ethereum's EIP-1559 Will Solve Some Problems But Big Ones Will Remain - Ep.250
Taylor Monahan, CEO of MyCrypto, and Tim Beiko, Ethereum Foundation core-dev facilitator, discuss the upcoming upgrade to the Ethereum network, EIP 1559. Show highlights:
why Tim believes EIP 1559 is necessary
what narrative is driving EIP 1559
what problems the network upgrade will solve
