    Episode 113 - What is Restaking?

    Restaking is staking of already staked tokens. But how is the possible? If tokens are staked for one purpose — providing econoimic security for consensus of a network — they could be further staked to provide security to other networks or apps. The process of restaking works by overriding the withdrawal and slashing conditions of user’s staked tokens. Listeners are encouraged to also check out the Episode 22 where Proof of Stake and Staking are explained. This is a public episode.

    Episode 112 - Modular Blockchains

    Modular blockchains has been one of the buzz words in the last year. In this episode, let’s understand modularity in blockchains. In the beginning, consensus and execution were part of the same blockchain like Ethereum 1.0. Then execution was decoupled and put into rollups. Then came the need for storing rollup data in the L1. And then we got DA layers as separate networks. Now we have consensus on L1, execution on L2, and data on DA layers. This is how we have modularised the blockchains. This is a public episode.

    Episode 110 - Orphan or Uncle Blocks

    In this episode, we understand what are orphan or uncle blocks. This is more of a Proof of Work related concept where two blocks are produced at the same time. One of them becomes part of the chain - based on the longest chain consensus rule - while the other becomes and orphan (Bitcoin) or uncle (Ethereum 1.0) block. Listen to the full episode to understand what eventually happens to these blocks and transactions inside them. This is a public episode.

    Episode 109 - On-chain vs Off-chain Governance

    In this episode, we understand the two ways of doing blockchain governance - on-chain and off-chain. When the decisions to update the blockchain software are driven by processes off the chain (online forums, meetups, etc.) then it leads to off-chain governance. When the decisions are made using a voting process that is recorded on the blockchain (as transactions) and when the update of the blockchain is driven via this voting, then it is on-chain governance. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit podcast.blockshots.net
