After years of underperformance, Ethereum is trying to change course, from scaling the layer 1 to potentially dumping the EVM. In this episode, Tarun Chitra and Max Resnick break down each of these new changes, analyzing the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Is this a reset that can save Ethereum’s market position and price? Or has the protocol given away too much for too long?

They dive into:

  • Whether the gas limit increase changes everything

  • What went wrong with Ethereum’s economics and solo staking politics

  • Max’s view on “the single most important” change Ethereum needs to make

  • How ETH could claw back value from layer 2s

  • What Max would do if he ran Ethereum

  • Whether this pivot is too little, too late
