Wed, Oct 2, 2024, 12:00 AM
What are the upcoming Ethereum EIPs that will reshape staking, MEV, re-staking, and validator infrastructure? In this deep-dive Pragma India 2023 session, Tomasz Stanczak, founder of Nethermind, joins Kartik Talwar of ETHGlobal to walk through the most critical Ethereum upgrades every builder, validator, and researcher should know: EIPs 7002, 7044, 4788, and 7251. Tomasz explains how re-staking opens new paths for startup protocols, why exiting validators from the execution layer changes the non-custodial model, how MEV centralization risk connects to protocol design, and why upcoming EIPs will unlock programmable staking, better validator incentives, and safer DeFi.
