In this week's interview Hasu from Flashbots and Vasiliy from Lido DAO discuss the current state of Ethereum's issuance and staking dynamics post-merge. They explore the potential impact of institutional demand, solo staking, and restaking on the validator set and issuance policy. The conversation also touches on the evolving role of liquid staking derivatives like stETH and how Lido plans to adapt its strategy as more activity moves to Layer 2 rollups. Thanks for tuning in!

In this special analyst round table episode, Boccaccio is joined by the Page One crew - Boffin, Tervo, and Tolks - to discuss the evolving landscape of NFTs, tokenization, and memecoins. The conversation starts with the rise of fantasy sports-like games in the crypto space, such as Fantasy Top, and how they compare to traditional NFTs in terms of engagement and complexity. The group then delves into the shift from scarcity to abundance in the NFT market, the increasing importance of onchain reputation, and the potential for tokenizing real-world assets. They close out by discussing the current airdrop meta, the memecoin super cycle, and emerging experimental primitives like Rug.Fun. Enjoy!
