This week on TezTalks Radio, host Brandon Langston is joined by Chris Pinnock, Chief Baker at the Tezos Foundation. 

Baking is often described simply, but in practice it sits at the center of everything: consensus, signing, security, coordination, and infrastructure. 

🔍 In this episode, we explore:

  • What a Chief Baker actually does beyond the title
  • Where pressure shows up first in the baking layer
  • The kinds of risks and failure modes that matter most
  • What separates a smooth week from a difficult one
  • How BLS signature aggregation works in practice
  • What changed when BLS moved from theory to live infrastructure
  • How the Tezos Foundation structures and operates multiple bakeries
  • The trade-offs between simplicity and resilience
  • Real moments where the system was under pressure and what was learned
  • How incident response works when speed and caution both matter
  • The biggest shifts in baking over the past few years
  • What challenges lie ahead as Tezos continues to scale
