01:04:11 Share

In this episode, we dive deep into the future of Ethereum's infrastructure with Drew from CommitBoost. We unpack how CommitBoost aims to change Ethereum's block building process, potentially solving long-standing issues of censorship resistance and transaction efficiency. We unpack the concepts of inclusion lists and pre-confirmations, and how they could transform crypto. Thanks for tuning in!
