Ethereum is starting from the endgame.

Episode 4 of TheCoordinate is a deep dive into Lean Ethereum: a clean-slate rethink of consensus, execution, and data availability.


I sat down with Justin Drake from Ethereum Foundation to unpack:

  • need for the rewrite,
  • rewrite items: post-quantum security + fast finality,
  • endgame finality (3-slot -> 2-slot -> maybe 1-slot),
  • slot anatomy, networking constraints, and the "SOL slots" meme,
  • real-time ZK proving changing the execution roadmap,
  • censorship resistance with FOSSIL,
  • role of L2s in the world of Lean Ethereum,
  • incentives across proposer, builder, prover, includer, attester.

If you’re building on Ethereum or trying to understand where the base layer is headed, this one is for you.
