Before, we had miners who extracted value and dubbed this term Miner Extractable Value. Now, we have maximum extractable value (new term, of course).This episode is a deep dive into what makes up the ever so valuable block space of Ethereum. We discuss the ins and outs of possible MEV opportunities now, the differences in blocks post merge with validators and we even tap into some of the tokenomics that make ETH an amazing long term bet.Sitting down with Matt Cutler from BlockNative was a pleasure (and shoutout to them, if you or a protocol wants to do more with ETH staking/block building/research, I’d hit them up).Thanks for sticking around during the wild times.This episode combined with the stats on ultrasound.money really showcase the bright future for Ethereum.Cheers,Andy🎙 DeFi by Design EP87: A New Method of On-Chain Profitability: Blockbuilding and MEV on ETH 2.0Together with: * Degate, a Decentralized Layer 2 Exchange based on optimistic rollups.

Blockchain infrastructure development is going into hyperdrive with innovative technology driving TPS (transactions per second) of new blockchains through the roof. This tech paves the way for killer applications to quickly iterate on user experiences. Think about scalability on the magnitude of text messages sent per day across the world. That’s the level of throughput app developers are looking for on blockchains. Today we’re talking to Mysten Labs, the team behind Sui, who come from a tech background which includes multiple Ex-Facebook (now Meta) employees. Their team brought learnings from Meta’s Libra project into their own vision of scalable blockchains. Check out Episode 85 of DeFi by Design to learn how value moves in a digital economy and the breakthrough that’s leading the next wave of adoption.Enjoy!🎙 DeFi by Design EP85: The Key to Web3 Mass Adoption w/ Mysten LabsTogether with: * Degate, a Decentralized Layer 2 Exchange based on optimistic rollups.

ICYMI we'll give you the rundown. Once hashing power on the Proof-of-Work chain brought mining difficulty to the TTD, total terminal difficulty, it was the end of an era. Reaching TTD triggered the merge of Ethereum's beacon chain into the running chain and began the Proof-of-Stake on Ethereum as beacon chain validators began to provide attestations of the current state. Within the first 8 minutes from the merge, over 100ETH was burned. Block rewards dropped from 2.5ETH to under 0.1ETH per block. And, Ethereum reduced global energy consumption by 0.2% solely as a result of the merge.

Scheduled for September 18th (or around there) the Ethereum merge to proof-of-stake is going to be a monumental moment for the entire space.What’s interesting about proof of stake is that the network is secured by validators who earn staking rewards in the native token (ie ETH, BNB, AVAX, etc.) which allows there to be a liquid staking model like the one provided by Ankr.This means you can stake your tokens with flexible liquidity and still earn the rewards.Todays podcast with Filipe is a very interesting one as we share the ins and outs of liquid staking, earning yield, predictions post-merge and more!Enjoy!Cheers,Andy🙌 Sponsor Spotlight: Zerion, the #1 place to invest in DeFi!
