Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, and Tarun Chitra chop it up about the latest news. In this episode, they are joined by Laura Shin, author, journalist, and host of Unchained, to discuss the drama around the Arbitrum governance’s proposal, the MEV attack on Ethereum, the Shanghai upgrade… and much more!
Show highlights:
what the intentions behind Arbitrum Foundation's ratification poll were
why Tarun says that it was suggested by a crypto lawyer
what will happen to Ethereum staking after the Shanghai upgrade
how ETH provides 'organic yield,' according to Tarun
whether staking makes ETH a security
how a validator on Ethereum got slashed after a $25 million MEV attack
the drawbacks of how Proof of Stake requires a locked stake, while Proof of Work allows joining and leaving freely
whether Tarun should cut his hair (yes, this was actually discussed)
