There's a lot happening on the Bankless Premium Feed.
We just added three (!!) new Premium Feed interviews today, one of which had Ethereum core developer Preston Van Loon taking us inside the next two hard forks, Fusaka and Glamsterdam.
We break down how Fusaka’s PeerDAS upgrade could 16x Ethereum’s data capacity without increasing validator storage, unlocking cheaper and faster Layer 2s. Then we explore Glamsterdam’s push for unstoppable settlement through EPBS and Fossil, enshrining proposer builder separation and strengthening censorship resistance. Preston also shares insights on shorter slot times, validator UX, and how community feedback shapes Ethereum’s roadmap.
