Description

In this week's episode, https://twitter.com/annarrose (Anna Rose) and https://twitter.com/kobigurk (Kobi Gurkan) chat with https://twitter.com/carlbeek (Carl) and https://twitter.com/trent_vanepps (Trent) from the https://ethereum.org/en/foundation/ (Ethereum Foundation), covering many topics such as their work on the KZG Ceremony and how this is different from the previous trusted setups we have covered. The group takes a deep dive into trusted setups, discussing what they are for, how they have been run and how the setup is going so far. They also discuss Proto-Danksharding and EIP-4844 - a novel way to organize data logistics for Ethereum.
